Cibulka is a lock as a 20 if he’s back in the Q.
Newcombe is the obvious other lock, which means the final slot comes down to Schmitt, Houde and Ruccia.
I don’t see them moving Schmitt because it’s easier to acquire another scoring forward like a Houde type player.
Just my two cents.

If I'm looking to the Moose as a Trade partner, I'm going for the entire package. To me a trade prying Cataford away from the Quebec teams looks something like this:
Cape Breton:
Cataford (19) Sprynar (19 Euro) Milner (19)
Halifax:
2024 1st (SJ) 2024 2nd (BB) 2024 3rd (SJ) 2024 3rd (RIM) 2024 4th Ruccia (20) Cibulka (20 Euro)
Leaves us with a package of Newcombe, Schmitt and Houde as 20s.
None of this is based off of anything in particular, just a scenario where we can potentially pony up a higher payment than a Rimouski, or Moncton to get some top end talent to get us over the hump.

Interesting. Sprynar on his 4th team in 16 months? I don't see Sly moving in the direction of Sprynar, just not a Sly type player. Every move the Eagles make between now and xmas 2025, will be very strategic, Cataford would be ideal and he fits the profile, but I am convinced RIM has him locked down. What would it cost to get Ethan Gauthier?

Cataford trade is done and it’s not to Cape Breton. I also believe a trade involving the SJ 1st is done and the package is substantial.

SJ would really only have Mateiko to offer which I think is a very good 19 euro player but I think you are probably getting one of those 1sts pack ( which in then is moved as well to add.
Mateiko #8 overall
For
Antoine Roy Lottery Pick
I also think if cape is going to get in a bidding war for Cataford or Gauthier I would look elsewhere. Depth wins and there are really good 05 players around that can fill holes that won’t cost an arm and a leg Ex Guy from Val D’Or , Lacerte from Shaw , Brunelle from RN , LaRose from Victo (still big price)
Would you rather Cataford for say 2 1sts a 2nd , Ruccia ( who you may face in playoffs) + ? Or say Lacerte and Brunelle for maybe 2 2nds a 3rd Ruccia ( who you will only face maybe twice all year ) + ?

They'd be going to teams also with depth but now with the 2 top available offensive players. And Ruccia is someone you move knowing you may have to go through him to win. You can't control what happens to him once you move him. Just because you may not move him to X team doesn't mean Y team will not.

Make the euro pick we have now and see what happens. With Russians being added back into the draft, we could definitely bring in a player just as good as Mateiko.

There's no Euro worth that pick.

While I think we do have potentially two top end Euro options available if Cibulka returns, it also takes away another option of having both a Top 20 and another top Euro on our team, which is a dicey situation when loading up for a serious run at the championship.
The 2024 draft floor will be an interesting one as the Eagles have so many draft picks at their disposal to make deals with, and the time is ticking down to put these deals in place.
In keeping Schmitt, Newcombe and Houde it eases the tension of having 2 really good OA forwards, while allowing us to go after a Mateiko-Type player to add to the forward core.
Centre Depth will be interesting as we will be losing both MacDonald and Roy (our top 2 faceoff takers) and will absolutely NEED to be addressed sooner rather than later. If the rumour of Cataford being dealt elsewhere already is true that really hurts our chances. I'm willing to bet the chance of Gauthier coming here is also near zero.

If the rumour of Cataford being dealt elsewhere already is true that really hurts our chances. I'm willing to bet the chance of Gauthier coming here is also near zero. I admittedly am not super well versed in every team's roster, especially those in Quebec, but it does seem obvious the Eagles need to add a top end center for next season. Quickly looking at the stats page to try and find a center that will be 19 next season and could potentially be available is not an easy task. If not Cataford, the pickings are kind of slim. Thomas Verdon from Rouyn or Justin Boiselle from Gatineau? Not a ton to choose from it appears. Also, many of us expect them to lose Cibulka which leaves them needing a LD as well with Biggar also done after this season. Jan Golicic from Gatineau (and Boiselle) would be a good fit to fill in as a Euro LD. Again, I'm not totally familiar with his game, just having fun and spitballing while we wait for round two to start. Glad they still have so many picks tho. It will only take one or two big trades at the draft to make this team a leading contender heading into next season and they have the assets to make it happen.
