2016-17 QMJHL Trade Period Discussion

[jordo999]

so I put together a little something for the 20's for each team

Bathurst - 4 20s: Malatesta/Boivin/Abols/Dumulong Dumulong will be traded or released the other 3 seem to be locked in

Baie-Comeau - 3 20s: Deslauriers/Thibault/Martin With the acquisition of Blanchette and Samuel sticking with the team I can see them releasing Martin and acquiring another 20 (dumulong maybe?)

Blainville - 3 20s: Beaudoin/Melancon/Montembeault I can see these 3 being their locks unless they upgrade Melancon to Neill but that's unlikely.

Cape Breton - 3 20s: Fiore/Leblanc/Carozza Fiore and/or Leblanc should be moved and Carozza will probably finish the season with the team.

Charlottetown - 3 20s: Coughler/Kielly/Donaghey I don't see them moving any of them so these will probably be the locks.

Chicoutimi - 3 20s: Bilia/Marcoux/Ratelle Marcoux should be upgraded, Leblanc from Cape Breton seems like the best addition.

Drummondville - 3 20s: Verbeek/Graaskamp/Aube Don't see them upgrading or trading any of them so these will probably be the locks.

Gatineau - 3 20s: MacEwen/Paggio/Morin MacEwen could possibly be traded to a contender the other 2 will stand put.

Halifax - 3 20s: Sorrentino/Kennedy/Goetz Don't see them doing anything, Sorrentino could be replaced but it probably won't happen, the other 2 seem to be standing put for sure.

Moncton - 2 20s: Renaud/Macintyre They will probably fill this last spot, either a waiver 20 or a very cheap 20.

Quebec - 4 20s: Ayotte/Turcotte/Maheux/Bourcier Bourcier is the odd man out and will probably be released unless Maheux is traded which right now I'm not sure where he fits.

Rimouski - 3 20s: Boland/Montcalm/Plante They have 3 solid 20s and can move Boland and/or Montcalm to a contender, Boland will probably be gone and they will get a toned down 20 in return. I can see Montcalm and Plante staying.

Rouyn Noranda - 3 20s: Denis/Wiederer/Waked Wiederer and Waked are locks, Denis probably is too but there's rumors surrounding him, Beauchemin from Val D'or is one rumor and he would be replaced by Galipeau. However I think Denis stays and Galipeau is added anyways.

Saint John - 3 20s: Highmore/Smallman/Imama 3 solid 20s these guys are probably locked in.

Shawinigan - 4 20s: Gignac/Deschamps/D'aoust/Fitzgerald D'aoust and Fitzgerald are staying, it's been said Shawinigan wants to upgrade the final slot so Gignac and Deschamps will be released and/or traded. Both are decent players.

Sherbrooke - 3 20s: Neill/Pelletier/Bahl Neill should be shopped as he's the best OA defenseman available besides Leblanc, not sure which team pays the price though. Pelletier is useful as well but there's other forwards who would be acquired before him. Bahl and Pelletier probably finish the season with the Phoenix and Neill gets traded and a toned down is acquired.

Val D'or - 3 20s: Beauchemin/Pepin/Van Boekel Beauchemin could and should be traded, Pepin is much like Pelletier from Sherbrooke, and Van Boekel either stays or is replaced by someone who is a bit better.

Victoriaville - 3 20s: Latulippe/Pomerleau/Goulet Pomerleau and Goulet will stay, Latulippe will be released/traded as Victo wants to upgrade.

Thoughts on what you guys think will happen?

I'm not dubious about it.

I have to give the edge to the Huskies so far this trding period.
1- Wiederer is playing well
2-the acquisitions now pretty well official of Galipeau and Gauthier from the Foreurs should complete a team well stacked already.

#2 would go to the SeaDogs as long as they acquire another forward.
We know that they were supposed to get Gauthier at one point and there is no doubt in my mind that they will acquire another top-6 player.

#3 would go to Shawinigan who strenghtened their offense with the acquisitions of Gignac and Askew.

#4 would be Charlottetown who acquired Meloche and Grametbauer plus Taillefer....plus Bower.
I do believe their shopping is over.
If not they could climb that ladder....but will they follow the train?

Weiderer must be a speciam player to play for 2 teams. Plus it does not suprise me you would rank the Isles last. Their shopping isnt done 1 more big move to make.

Wait.....what?

The Titan have beat Saint John twice in the last three days. Aren't they the new powerhouse in the QMJHL??

Daniel Sprong strengthens the Islanders offence.....no credit for that?

Word around the Q this morning is that Chicoutimi just acquired Gauthier and Galipeau instead of the Huskies.
It changes the whole complexion of this trading period and will force the Huskies and the Sea Dogs to bonify their offers for more fire power.

Right now Chicoutimi looks like this:

Billa

Allard
Galipeau
Groleau
MacIsaac
Noel
Larose

Roy
Rubtsov
Ratelle
Gauthier
Klima
Klima
Zukhenov

Their PP will be the strongest in the Q:
Allard-Galipeau
Ratelle-Roy-Gauthier

[bois]

I think I'll just take a wait and see approach since word has had some combination of Gauthier Galipeau and montpetit traded to about five teams now

[Captain Obvious]

Plus there are other big names in Dru Gat and Rim that have not moved yet.

This is why I say that SJ and the Huskies are far from done....

The end result will be a flurry of trades in the last days.
