If they can get something decent for Brassard they should. But he's a 20 year old goalie who's never been a no. 1 goalie for an extended stretch. He's good but not great, therefore his market value isn't what you may hope it is. He'd be a good back up for someone, especially a contender. Teams don't waste a 20yo spot on a back up goalie. Unless the teams GM is Marcel. Here's the other thing that your not looking at. Their are a bunch of teams that need a goalie. Do I think teams will over pay for Brassard, No. But with what he did in the playoffs, he has shown he can be a number one and give a team a chance to win. If a team gives up a 2nd rounder for him you would have to take it. If it was just a 3rd I'm not sure I make the trade. A 3rd plus I think you would have to move him too. It's just what do the moose think/ want to do next year? I agree teams don't waste a 20 spot on a goalie (that sadly slipped my mind); that would be beyond stupid. I just don't put the kind of value on him that some do; just my opinion. He's a good goalie, but not a great one; I doubt he'd be a no. 1 goalie on a top contending team. If a team offers a 2nd round pick for him, I definitely take it. A 3rd round pick, I take it. As has been said on here, especially during the Zach Fucale trade rumour talk, goalies don't have the market value you would think they'd have. Not saying Brassard is Fucale because he isn't, I'm just trying to make a point, as I haven't completely lost my mind, or what's left of it! . Brassard obviously wouldn't bring back in a trade anything near what Fucale did. I don't know what the Mooseheads are thinking in terms of their goaltending next season, but I'd move Brassard (add more assets) and have Resop be the no. 1 guy. Resop showed signs he can be a no. 1. Had some up and downs, but he was a 17 year old rookie, so that was to be expected. People can debate as to whether bring in a "vet" who'd be amenable to being a backup, or have a rookie be the backup (a young goalie would need to play too, unless they just want to have him learn and have him get his feet wet for if/when they move Resop at some point). Just spitballing.

It's just what do the moose think/ want to do next year? The numbers game for the Mooseheads with 3 x 20 year olds without the goalie returning u pretty much would have to take a 3rd rounder if thats all u could get. The 14 playoff games he played with a young defence may make him a good stop gap goalie for someone who has a young guy they wish to slowly develop. Not a top contender. He faced quite a few shots in that Shawinigan series so it bought us value. Halifax is in no position to use that 20yr old spot on any goalie. They may go with Resop + the goalie off the Cole Harbour midget team they signed. That may be it for next year. All the D a year older go with that.

Does not really matter how many 20 Spots Halifax uses and on who. They only used 2 to End this season. The Moose need to hopefully put a respectable product on the ice, but it would be more beneficial if either Halifax or Quebec were in the bottom 5 for drafting reasons. Besides Moncton I think the Maritime teams are going to be very good in the next 2-3 years....Bathurst Included

Not sure mentioned elsewhere but in regard to not trading more as some expected, Gadoury is committed to Dal and Hardie to SMU. Likely the reason only Lussier traded as 20s. The interest was probably there.

Now you know how I feel when he responds to me, it is like "wtf just happened?" Just like you he has no clue! Halifax is loyal to its players and keeps its promises, Gadoury(FA) came here for a reason. It also has to do with 20yr olds going to the local University. A player has 3 months left in Junior, what possible incentive does Hardie have for being traded to somewhere he does not want to go, just to turn around and move back to go to SMU. Why would he bother to report. Same as other years and other players. Gillard turned down a trade at 20 for the same reason. If players are going to be treated that way they are not going to come here, word gets around.

If players are going to be treated that way they are not going to come here, word gets around. What are we talking about here? We don't know either side - whether they were asked by the team if they would accept a trade or not. I'm thinking they wanted these players on the team and perhaps weren't looking to trade them and any trade would have been to a team of similar caliber of the Mooseheads. Anyway, 0 point of discussing this. Sent from my Beast Mode phone

Really curious to see what kind of minutes Ford gets next year. Fair to say he'll likely being the season paired with Fitzgerald (assuming Marino doesn't report).

Ford likely begins the season as #3 behind Donaghey and Fitzgerald. He will get #3 minutes. I wouldn't be shocked if he passes Fitzgerald and ends up as our #2

I wouldn't be shocked if he passes Fitzgerald and ends up as our #2 If Donaghey doesn't come Fitz is #1.....as far as him vs Ford...the competition will only make each of them better and stronger......my concern isn't 1-4 it's who we have to round out the bottom

Cavin is the #1. He has earned it.(short season and all) they should have a much better d core then last year. Tailliefer is the odd man out in imo, if we get the american kid to come up he will have to fight for his spot.

Just looked up John Marino. He is ranked 63 overall NA for the 2015 Draft. Hopefully whoever drafts him will ask him to play Major Junior.

We will def have C Fitz, Ford, and Nauss next year but what are your thoughts on the rest of our Dmen? Tallifer? J Fitz? Hunter? Argento? Will any of these 4 make the cut next year?
