Well nothing else to talk about so though why not start this thread early. Just want some thoughts on what you guys think we plan on doing in the draft we have lots of choices. What happens to bowers? What do we do with the compensation picks we have? Do we try to trade Dubois at draft? What about all of the rest of our team to we completely sell at the draft? Thoughts?

I think CB is better waiting to trade Dubois, there's going to be questions about whether he makes the NHL so you get a more a clear cut value for him at Christmas IMO

Pick somebody who will show up .........no more of this Best Player Available even though he has no intentions on coming to Cape Breton .....yes Roy not coming worked out well but it is not good in the big picture for this Organization .

The best player available is fine, provided they actually can trade him in the event he's a no show. It would be interesting to see what was actually offered for Bowers. I would be surprised if Highmore and either the 9th or 10th pick was on the table, at the least. Highmore appeared to be a bit in the doghouse last year. He certainly is a key player for Saint John this playoff season. Now the Eagles appear lucky to receive much more than the 9th pick this year. Maybe if there is a change of the guard, they can convince the Bowers camp to have a change of heart.

A highly skilled, top ranked prospect who enjoys being in and playing for Cape Breton might help some drafted players report.

Thoughts? who would you guys think we would like to pick with our picks I think with our 1st we should eye a Centremen. Edouard St-Laurent 6'0 157lbs had 19 pts in 42 games and had 5 pts in 3 games in the playoffs.

Lets hope that the kids that are dtafted due come to Sydney. Hoyt was drafted and wanted to come. I think the Eagles could have used him more. From what I saw of him when he had the opportunity to play a regular shift he played well. Too bad Dumont held him back. Hopefully next year he is willing to come back and play. I think he could be a great player for the Eagles!

Gabriel fortier and olivier crete-belile Unfortunately I don't think Fortier is there past the top 5, maybe even top 3. Anderson MacDonald may fall to you guys, I feel like he'd probably report and do well in Cape Breton. Big kid, great shot, good skater, forchecks hard and has a bit of sandpaper to his game.
