I heard from a good source that there is a trade for Brassard already done. Anyone else hear this? P.S. This is my first ever post but I used to post on the old MooseTalk years ago.

Are you sure this was about Eric Brassard and not Francios Brassard? Because Francios is done.

I can't see it. Where this team is right now (entering a rebuild or "re-tool"), a guy like Brassard is a good fit. Brings experience and stability to a young team, especially a young D core and a young goalie. And he's a guy who's never had the opportunity to run with being a #1 despite being a good goalie in the league, so he could emerge as a very serviceable #1.
Also, looking ahead to our 20's next year, the only guys currently on the roster who would warrant keeping as 20s are Falkenham, D. Moynihan, and Brassard. Again, for a rebuilding team, those 3 are fine. Cam will want to spend assets on acquiring young players, and more draft picks, not finding a #1 goaltender.
If for whatever reason Brassard is moved, at the draft, I doubt it's a done deal on Jan 8.

Seriously, though, it wouldn't surprise me because the Moose probably don't want to use a 20 year old spot on a goalie.

it was done before the loss to Bathurst on Sunday. Also heard a 19 year old goaler and 20 year old D from Ontario coming next year the D big and tough who knows, but I like Brassard. The 20's will be Danny, Falkenham and D from Ontario if it falls through it will be Danny, Falkenham and Leblanc, but Leblanc as a 20 I can't see that

Wouldn't shock me if he were traded, if Cam plans on drafting a goalie it makes perfect sense.
Trading for Sweeney makes zero sense. We need picks and 1999 born players.

Zach didn't have a bad 16 year old season. In fact there have been a lot of goalies who have had strong 16 year old seasons.

The 20's will be Danny, Falkenham and D from Ontario if it falls through it will be Danny, Falkenham and Leblanc, but Leblanc as a 20 I can't see that These guys would be put on the protected list like other FA have. Likely would be reported at some point as they did this last year with some of the players playing now. Wonder if the Brassard thing as futures to Moncton was maintained as part of the trade to Halifax. It was a 7 and 8th round pick going back at that time. Hard to say with the going ons with the Q. A lot of teams are going to need goalies with lots of 20yr old ones floating around again. The no import goalie rule has run its course with Cupper gone after this year. Cant see Halifax carrying a 20yr old goalie in another rebuild year anyway. Russell often moves 20s quickly to make it easier to manage his roster/protected list. He has to make room for prospects.

We were willing to go with Terenzio/Fucale, Ressop/High drafted 16 year old isn't very far-fetched.
