According to Mikael Lalancette of TVA Sports, Blainville-Boisbriand offered 1+1+2+2+3 + prospect for Ehlers but Halifax declined. i seriously doubt that if a team is that willing to make a big move they usually do so....... Blainville added nothing at the deadline of significance

Odds are those picks may have been low 1's, 2's, etc. (they would be low picks if they were for this year; not sure how the BBA project to do next season). If that was actually offered (seems a little sketchy to me), if I were Cam, I would've have been tempted to say the hell with it and let BBA deal with Ehlers. When it would've been all said and done, I think Ehlers would'e reported there (the Jets would've have encouraged him to go to the better team). Cam does have to think of the team long term first more than 1 individual player.
But overall though, I doubt Cam makes the deal out of respect for Ehlers.

There is a strong possibility that Ehlers declined a trade offer at Xmas. There is also strong possibility that Lalancette is incorrect with what BBA offered - I love Ehlers but IMO that deal is beyond even what I would have expected.

Lalancette is the best french Q reporter. I believe him. He is very close to GMs so he can't make up stuff. If he angers GMs, he can't do his job. He said Halifax took the right decision because they were close to semi final.
I think that if Russell had explained to Ehlers how important it would have been for the Mooseheads, he probably would have accepted.

Ehlers is probably the best player in the CHL outside of McDavid and Reinhart. He's definitely the best in the QMJHL. It is a lot to give up for one player, yes; but if anyone is worth that it's Ehlers.

And I'm not crapping on him whatsoever as I know how good he is but it just seems like too much to offer for 3-4 months of Ehlers.

It's the fact that it is coming from BLB, a team that has shied away from making big moves at the trade deadline every year because they don't want to give up high picks and/or players.

BLB has the best pool of picks I've seen in a long time. I can believe it was true they were ready to make a move. They won't be able to find spots on their team for all those picks. They also have a lot of good prospects in Midget AAA.
2015:1-1SHE-2-2QC-2SHA-3-3CHA-4DRU-6-6RN-7-7DRU-8-9-10-11-12-13-14 2016:1-2-2QC-3MON-5-5DRU-5BAT-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14
If they trade 1st 2015, 1st 2016, 2nd 2015, 2nd 2016, 3rd 2015
They still have:
2015:1SHE-2QC-2SHA-3CHA-4DRU-6-6RN-7-7DRU-8-9-10-11-12-13-14 2016:2QC-3MON-5-5DRU-5BAT-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14

Quick get the Delorian out and send Cam back to JAN 2015 and make this happen!!!!

Obviously one team, Mooseheads or Baie Comeau, turned down the first BBA offer and then BBA made another offer... I don't think BBA would pull a Benoit Groulx right

Blainville added nothing at the deadline of significance Perhaps they were willing to pay the price for the best player and deemed the rest as too expensive or not enough of an upgrade to be worth the price. I can see why a top team would view Ehlers, and nobody else, as the 1 piece that could guarantee them a trip to the league finals.

You can make 3 offers with the same picks. You can just only make 1 trade. Some of this info around the trade period would be nice to have so it makes me question the motives of the journalist for releasing it now other then to try and make people look bad. Would like to see more of a local flavor in terms of seeing similar info about Maritime teams. There's very little reporting like this in the Maritimes any more.
