That's what I've thought they would do but with now with Bower back in the draft the 8th pick might have more value now assuming Moncton thinks Bower will report. Halifax can take him at 7 and then get the 8pick from you guys for the 16th and 24th. Draft McIssac with the 1st overall pick then Bowers/Coxhead with the 7th and 8th picks. All Nova Scotia boys. It gives their Marketing department the easiest job in the league.

Another trade partner for the #8 pick could be Rouyn-Noranda. They have the last pick of the first round, along with several early 2nd round picks (21, 22, 24 and 28).
Huskies moving up to 8th overall would allow them to select their coach's son, Xavier Bouchard.
8th overall for 19th, 21st and 28th?

Granted, I've seen a lot more of McIsaac, and from what I saw of Groulx I liked, I guess you can't go wrong with either. But yes, I could care less that McIsaac is local, I care that he's a big, smooth-skating defenseman with a pro frame and elite offensive instincts.

They're returning the 2nd in 2017 from the Meier for the 28th pick in 2016. Still, I would love for Cam to go after that 8th pick, if Moncton is willing to part with it, there could be a decent bidding war. (I guess it's the 29th pick now with the Cape Breton pick at 9)

Wasn't the Crossman trade conditional on what Sha did this year? Does anyone know the details on this?

It gives their Marketing department the easiest job in the league. Like others have said winning will be the best marketing they could ask for. As for the 8 pick I'd rather if he is still there they go with Anderson MacDonald. If this were the way it played out Halifax would leave the first round with McIssac, Bowers and MacDonald. How great of a 1st round would that be for the Moose?

Maybe Halifax really likes McIsaac, but from what I heard Groulx is easily the consensus best player among Q teams' scouts. as the old saying goes, all it takes is one team to like McIsaac more though... My guess is Halifax tries to get both with McIsaac playing the NCAA card.

Sounds like Moncton will be going with a semi rebuild next year (likely not by choice). Seems like what Shannon is saying McKenna and MacArthur will have a good chance at spots and possibly some US kids (most likely seems like Destanfani but he doesn't seem like a difference maker, if Krys or the other D man (I forget his name but his dad is BCs assistant coach) show up I'll be surprised, although he likely means free agents). Other than Destanfani I don't see any one else of the US kids drafted coming so he is likely referring to free agents but maybe will draft a kid they promise a spot to in June. I'd be surprised if Moncton doesn't grab at least one of Wise, Walsh or Walstrom although none are likely to show.
Seems like he is working on Waite and Grant for goalie. For goalie my hope is Petruzzelli but my expectation is Grant.
I'm hopeful Moncton will at least try to go young next year but who knows. What Shannon is saying seems to include pretty much every player drafted last year that want to be here - Cyr/Lavoie, Island Kids (McKenna and MacArthur), Quebec kids (Gignac and Aspriot) and U.S. kids (Destanfani andPetruzzelli). I'm just hopeful they go young his up coming year
I expect they trade down from the eighth spot so it will be interesting to see what they do.

I'd love to see them go away from the "be competitive every year" crap. They'll never win a title that way. They desperately need to start adding and keeping their own draft choices and draft better the first 5 rounds. Being a big market they have an edge with Euros, FA's and US players, but that gets negated when you mess up your drafting in the Maritimes and Quebec. Nothing wrong with drafting US players...just do it smarter, mostly in rounds 6-15 and guys that actually have a shot at reporting in the earlier rounds. FA's should be to fill holes on the 3rd and 4th lines, not a lifeline

Here is the Hodge list of top 10 prospects earlier in the season:
1-Krys 2-O'leary(since traded to Halifax) 3-MacLeod 4-Cyr 5-MacInnis 6-Lavoie 7-Dawe 8-McKenna 9-Waite 10-Grant
If all those guys showed up, we'd be golden, but O'Leary is already gone. Krys McInnis and MacLeod are very long shots. Dawe and Waite are reportedly heading NCAA also. Shannon said McKenna is "keeping his options open" so he may just need a guaranteed roster spot. Grant is in the same boat I think.
That being said, of those 10, I expect Cyr Lavoie McKenna and Grant to be in camp. Anything more would be a bonus.

what are chances McKenna gets a guaranteed spot?

How would you feel about this?
Wildcats trade the 8th overall pick to Rouyn for Phil Myers. At the Christmas trade deadline, Myers is traded to Blainville for Joel Teasdale and a 2017 1st round pick. At that draft, the pick goes back to Blainville for Antoine Crete-Belzille.
