A bit of a weird choice for sure as he wasn’t even an assistant captain last year. Not my choice either but Furlong is definitely a big part of this team. This might be the new coaches way of putting his stamp on this team and making it his own. I heard he worked with him during the summer quite a bit so he surely got to know him well. The one thing I hope is that he doesn’t lose any players that were obvious leaders during last year’s playoff run that this new coach was not part of.

A guy from the area, which is great, but not the most charismatic boy. As you said, I hope this coach will not ruin the Vidicek (which has already started with his slow start), Dumais and Cataford chemistry. I have a bad feeling for this year, hopefully I am wrong.

Brunet was never part of the conversation. They're still carrying 4 20's. Igor Mburanumwe is on the roster and has played a game on Friday (They healthy Scratched Nathan Darveau instead of having him as the backup.) Tommy Cormier has played every game, as has Max Pellerin, who is serving as captain. That said, Mburanumwe looks like he'll eventually be the odd man out. Considering the 20's in the league this year, I'd be shocked if he doesn't find a landing spot somewhere. Shawinigan has open spots, in terms of just being a big shut down defenseman who can play with skilled guys, I'd say he's more appealing than Shortall or Cosman who both have jobs in this league.

Brunet was always in consideration for them. It’s just the possibility of this playing out was the more probable out come. If he was let go it would have been Cormier the odd man out. Everything else you said I agree with. Now have to wait and see the what plays out in BC. Isaac Dufort is with Laval of the AHL. I can’t find if he signed or not but it looks like he might very well be. If not him of MacDonald would be serviceable 20yo until trade period. Edit point: I have to add this new website succcccks. The best place to check out roster stuff. I’ve been using elite prospect in case people are looking for better places. Anyone else agree?

ELC for Furlong! He won't figure into whatever plans the Moose might have for next year.

Robidas is heading to ECHL. Carolina lost its AHL affiliate in June. I wonder if he could be back in the Q? If he is he'll probably be the most sought after overager among contenders.

Now that would be a steal especially if he didn't cost us a fortune, and make Halifax even more of a contender.

Dufort is back in Bac today. MacDonald is still in the lineup, Gill is out today. Bac is off to an awesome start, probably means Gill off the 20 year old options list if they continue playing so well.
The talk about Victo’s 20s… Darveau isn’t exactly playing like a sure thing, .860 save % so far this year. And Victo in general for all the praise hasn’t been too great. 16 goals against in the last 4 games on what’s supposed to be great D and goalies.

The Mooseheads are doing another ‘Moose Tracks’ episode to be released on Nov 10th, the trailer was posted late tonight. looks awesome looks to be focussed on the training camp and what it takes to make the team.
We haven’t seen one since the 2021-22 season where they did a very in depth episode of the 2021 QMJHL draft and an episode on the home opener and highlighted Dylan MacKinnon.
Off Topic from that but the 2021 Q draft episode was awesome, they showed the scenarios of the players they wanted to take which were MacKinnon/Cataford MacKinnon/Coughlin and MacKinnon/Peddle. All four happen to be NHL prospects now. Then the next pick featured the trade move up, where they picked their guy Logan Crosby, then they were also looking at Nathan Baril with that first pick but he got picked two picks before by Baie Comeau, then in the 2nd they had eyes on Vincent Gauthier and possibly Matis Ouellet. Out of the two they got Gauthier but didn’t pan out as hoped. Baril was the better guy earlier on but it’s looking like the patience for Logan Crosby might work out if he comes back in shape after injury.
They did a shortened 2022 draft highlight video but it wasn’t as in depth because Owen Phillips was there guy from the beginning. They had one other guy in mind but they decided to bleep it. My guess would be Spencer Gill.
Anyways, looking forward to the episode!

Really cool throwback jerseys from 94. I actually think these should be permanent.
