Hinds is an honest player..... a character guy..... I think this might actually improve the Eagles overall in the short term
He outscored (goals) Darcy even tho Hinds hasn't played in 2 months
he isn't really a marginal player

Yeah I think this is the beginning of the 'blow it the fuck up' plan. Terrible damn start to the plan then. If blowing the team up was the decision made then fine, I can understand that, but step one should have been trading Darcy away. Then if you want to acquire a marginal 20 year old to fill his spot for a mid round draft pick, go ahead. Getting the marginal 20 year old first, then releasing Darcy from the roster probably just decreased whatever value he had bigtime. Darcy has been crappy for you guys this year but he was awesome last year at 19 and I find it hard to believe that nobody would have rolled the dice on acquiring him and him catching fire for them. Seems like an odd way to kick things off to me. I doubt this really effects his value all too much. Who was giving up much for him yesterday? I'd say a deal is close or there's no interest at all. The next few hours should determine that.

Can't say I'm shocked, that feeling went away sometime last year - but not getting anything for Darcy is totally embarrassing! Drummondville just traded their 20yo captain for a 16yo and a whack of pics. Dumont let his personal feelings interfere here Did he? It's still too soon to say. We don't know any details yet.

Career high of 16 goals and no room for him elsewhere as a 20 until now though. If he brings any spark at all he'll be a fan favorite on this team. Hope it works out.

And to clarify: Darcy has not been released. We still own his rights. To add a 20 we have to remove 1 from the roster. Darcy should be traded soon per Palov:
Willy Palov ?@willypalov 1m1 minute ago The Screaming Eagles have shaken up their 20-year-olds. Marcus Hinds acquired from the Armada for a 2015 4th, Cameron Darcy to be traded.

Willy Palov ?@willypalov 1m1 minute ago Cape Breton coach/GM Marc-Andre Dumont said Darcy needs a "fresh start." He only has 1 goal in 19 games.

I'm sure Darcy's helmet throwing rant last game was the last straw for MAD

No shock the CB Post is wrong though. As for your hindsight, I think he commands a price like Beaudoin did yesterday if moved at the draft.

So where do we think Darcy goes? I don't see a contender moving much for him. I'm going to guess it' to a team in the middle of the standings for a 2nd and 4th or something similar.

He might go to Moncton... they love Americans.. and they may have lost lalonde for the year.. would actually be a good fit

I said it weeks ago that the guy needs a change of scenery. This benefits him and the team.
We did get burned by him though. Bad. Would have been much better to just keep Legare.
But hey hindsight is 20/20... Who would have traded Darcy over Legare? Not many.
Especially after the way Darcy dominated last year.

I would expect he gets traded in the next couple weeks...

Be interesting to see what the return will be for Darcy. Where oh where is this team headed. I'm hearing stories of major discontent on this team, nobody likes playing for Dumont (any wonder).Don't be surprised if we hear of a lineup of kids at his door wanting out of here at the trade period (hope someone on the board of directors is watching all this) Pascal, where are you?

There HAS to be something going on behind the scenes...last year Darcy was one of the best 19 year olds in the Q, he comes back and isn't even at 1 PPGM...something more than what we see on the ice.
Either he is unhappy there or the coach is unhappy with him for some reason...
