Seems like Monctons not getting very good value if true, any guesses on which defenseman and forward? Gauthier being traded again? or is he doing well there?

Well if we're sending Garrett Johnston and receiving Cody Donaghey, a forward and Brassard at the draft then it's not too bad. The forward has be intrigued. I would have maybe guessed Sutton but it sounds like a current player.

I think this deal will work great for both sides, I also think Brassard is a very underrated goalie in this league.

Hodge had an article in today's paper profiling Taylor Burke ... He offered the following comparison to Lalonde:
" Burke is replacing Lalonde as one of Moncton’s 20-year-olds. Burke probably won’t produce as much offence as Lalonde did, but he’s much better defensively, provides more size and physical presence, and he also has stronger character and leadership skills."
The last part comes as a bit of a surprise considering Lalonde was our captain ... makes me wonder if something happened behind the scenes to cause Lalonde to fall out of favour with the Cats and prompt his move.

He's a solid 2 way defenseman, was a big offensive guy in Jr.A but with the Cats has been used with Sweeney as the shutdown pair and still can chip in some points. A guy that can play in all kinds of situations. Very underrated player.

If Booth is not involved, I can't see Sweeney(as some have reported) being in the deal, so you'd think it would be Johnston. So Tkachev, Johnston and WC 2nd rounder 2016(that was the pick in the Shaw deal) to Quebec for Burke, plus a forward and a d-man plus a goalie at the draft. You'd have to assume the goalie is Brassard(since they say it's not Booth), decent OA goalie to fill in for a year until the cats can develop a young starter. I doubt the d-man would be Donaghey if he is to report on the 19th...more likely a young player...Fiori(the name I heard) or Thibodeau. The forward being Rehill, Sutton(name I heard) or Garneau. in that case the Cats would get hosed...so maybe it really is Donaghey? ...but that would be weird from the Remparts standpoint... The logical trade for both teams is for Sweeney and Booth to be involved.

I don't see Donaghey going if Sweeney isn't in the deal.

I don't think it's Donaghey that you're getting as the D-man at Xmas.

I know you like selling so how do you feel now. A 20 yr old goalie is never ideal especially when not so great. Gets pulled for Booth because of it.

I don't see Donaghey going if Sweeney isn't in the deal. By the same token, assuming you get Tkachev Johnston and a 2nd rounder...what makes sense going with Burke and Brassard(at the draft) for that deal to make sense? Fiori Thobodeau Sutton and co are not high end prospects... Johnston obviously doesn't have Sweeney's value but I'm sure with the lack of good 19 year olds this year that the cats could get really good return for him by himself. He wouldn't just be a throw in..plus the 2nd rounder would be an asset to be used to bring something else in or to start the rebuild...

I don't see the point for a contender to replace Donaghey with Johnston... If Donaghey was going at the draft, it would make sense but not now.

Seems like there has to be something else or this is a half ass plan.

sc74 looking at the Quebec roster on the Q site Jesse Sutton is listed on the active roster yet he shows as not playing any games at all.... what's the story there?
