Highlights of Town Hall
M'ceed by our Radio Announcer Pat McNeil .
They gave a Breakdown of all the Picks we have over the Next 3 Drafts but he made it clear that they would use a lot of them to bring in Players .
Sly Stallone told us that all deals were not finalized in the sense that some will involve futures.
Langois requested to be moved because he has said he most likely has only 1/2 a Season left in Junior and would like a chance at a Championship . There were a few people in the crowd pissed about losing Langois .
Buteau requested a Trade to a Contender .
Dessoreiux requested a Trade to Quebec .
Every Team at Christmas Time has Trade Requests for one reason or another , he said one year in Bathurst he had 6 or 7 .
Defended and Clarified the Schmitt deal with BBA . It is a 1,2 x 2's and a 3rd . Told us several Teams paid a Higher price for Rentals then he did for a 2 1/2 year Player with an NHL Camp under his Belt .
Still in touch with Goalie Prospect Cloutier in Hopes of getting him here next year .
Sly is Very Very High on a 16 year old 3rd Round Pick Dman Dejardains who is the Captain of the Best Team in the Quebec Major Midget League . Lots of Teams asked for him to be included in deadline deals but Sly refused .
The List of Europeans that are interested in coming to the CHL Next Year is currently being Finalized and the plan right now is to use both Selections . He did not say that Satny would be back next year but there was a chance he might .
Goyens went on again about Holding Everybody Accountable . Players effort determine whether they are 1st Liners or 4th Liners ......OK ( I don't believe this for a Minute ) .
Gerard Shaw told the Crowd again that C200 and The Eagles were informed that the Building would not meet the Minimum Requirements for a Memorial Cup Bid . 13 Million Dollars is needed to bring it up to Standard . The Municipality have put 2 Million forward ...Provincial Government..... Zero .....Federal Government.....Zero .
I know I am missing some things , so hopefully someone else will chime in .

"Gerard Shaw told the Crowd again that C200 and The Eagles were informed that the Building would not meet the Minimum Requirements for a Memorial Cup Bid"
-------
And that would be the case for many events not just the Memorial Cup. Did they say what things would need to improve?
HVAC (humidity control - for May hockey)
Dressing room upgrades
Press box
$13 million seems like alot considering some of the dumps that have hosted over the years. They did become stickers on some things post the hot building Memorial Cup in Moncton in 2006.
Rimouski, Chicoutimi, Shawinigan are up to code. Doesn't seem like that big of a leap to get there.

Videoboard is one for sure, that would account for like $1-2 million on its own |

Sound system and a re-vamped Concourse . I think he also mentioned about Press Box Upgrades . He seemed to stress that The Federal Government was falling way short .

To be completely frank I wish they would frig off with this Memorial Cup bid idea as it's been one of the only things this organization has seemed to cared about since 2012.
It's like they believe that if they get it that 15 years of mismanagement will magically disappear.

It's like they believe that if they get it that 15 years of mismanagement will magically disappear. They could have Scotiabank Center picked up in Halifax and put down on George St in Sydney and their management of the hockey team would still keep them from winning a bid. It honestly seems like our organizations higher ups spend more time on this than the fans do thinking about it. Put all that energy into trying to change the culture here and reverse the losing trends. This stuff is 100% a distraction that isnt needed. |

Everyone said for years that if there wasn't more movement to get federal money it would dry up. And that was pre-pandemic. There's no way the feds invest in infrastructure projects like they were. Even if there's a change in parties at the top the spending has dried up and that likely isnt going to change. Small investments over a 4-5 year period done with local money is the best we're going to see. I cant see Ottawa and Halifax coming together to spend over $10 million on C200 upgrades any time soon. |

Defended and Clarified the Schmitt deal with BBA . It is a 1,2 x 2's and a 3rd . Told us several Teams paid a Higher price for Rentals then he did for a 2 1/2 year Player with an NHL Camp under his Belt . So are we to assume one of the 2nds is coming back? It was 3 x 2nd in the original deal right? I figured the 2nd sentence would be his reasoning, and he's not wrong. I do agree with him there, he would cost more for less years if we tried for him as a 19 or 20. Problem is that so much can happen in 2 years that it's a bigger risk than picking up a rental. If it works out like he imagines it will, then it could actually be a good trade. |

And how many stories have we heard from teams/cities that have hosted the Memorial Cup and lost huge amounts of money in the process |

Thanks for bringing up the cliff notes version of this. I really couldn't be bothered to sit there and listen to local yokels complain for however long without actually analyzing and listening to what the people on stage are saying. People complaining about trading Langlois is a perfect example. This will be a very interesting summer to say the least, we are seeing the foundation being built right now. All "micromismanagement" aside, we finally have a light at the end of the long dark tunnel to look at now. I think Louka Cloutier is a key cog to what we are trying to do here going forward and Couterier should be doing everything in his power to get him here, and get him on a winning team during his draft year as he has star potential and fits into our window. |

Only really disagree in that he's not even in the league now but is going to come in with the promised #1 job and win next season? This is a 19yr olds league. Most contenders we see now have 19 or 20yr olds in goal. He's a trade chip if he shows up. Maybe someone you groom as the #2. But there's no way he's getting that #1 commitment. |

not worthy of hosting a Memorial Cup tournament but we are hosting a 2024 World curling championship?. I realize they are two different sports, but really?.
