I think its really just the GM doing what he does...making a lot of trades that don't move you forwards or backwards. This is a depth 19yr old to play a few games between now and Xmas. Most teams would probably just roll with tossing some recent picks in depending on where the game is that you need someone. He’s actually not a bad player, I’d rather have him in the lineup then some of the others at the bottom of the roster but I’m not sure why you make the trade for a 19 YO to be an affiliate, there’s lots of guys around that can play if you get to that point. Which with how many forwards you have, it hopefully doesn’t happen. If it does, give Foley the games. If they want to make the move because they think he improves the bottom 6 (which I think he would) then that makes more sense to me but why not just claim him off waivers for nothing 3 weeks ago since he was cut by Baie-Comeau? Willing to pay an 8th 3 weeks after he could have been had for free.

Jude Campbell has only been in the lineup for 2 games this year. Kind of concerning considering what we had given up for him at Christmas.

just realized the Eagles have the lowest goals for in the league at only 44 goals....they're the only team in the league still in the 40 goal range. That's crazy to me considering some of the talent up front.

Never seen a Q team get shut out as much as this version of the Eagles, no offensive cohesion between the players at all, like absolutely no chemistry.

Today we saw a puck possession team against a strech pass/dump-in team. Halifax way more efficient on break out with short passes and creating scoring chances with their collective play in OZ by holding on to the puck until they have an opening. Smartness kills!

Its like the more they talk they justify the people who have tuned them out. His kid might be a part of the final death blow to this team if they keep letting him speak to the media. It's frightening listening to someone who sounds extremely lacking of any knowledge in the area he's discussing as a Vice-President within the organization. He literally in the same sentence said he didn't want to blame anyone then blames the past coaches and GM's. Everything Sylvain says about next year and preparing for it this year completely flies against many things said in that interview. Has the plan changed or will we be using the comments about not trading picks and wanting to be like Halifax and Moncton as comedy fodder for years to come?

As an outsider, looking at the development in CB, I wonder if moving some of the pieces that you don't necessarily want to might be part of re-building the image of the team. If you could build a home ice calibre team next year but it costs you say the SJ 1st, Shields and Ricard, that would really hurt. On the other hand, Shields looks like he hasn't progressed, so making such a move might provide better insulation for younger players allowing Lavoie to improve and potentially creating some depth so that the picks you keep will have someone to play with.

I think it's a bit early to state that Shields didn't progressed. He's a skilled, 5'9", 17 years old player that has to play a dump and chase type of game. If the 6'2"/200 overager can't produce in that kind of system, how can you expect Shields will break out with half of the ice-time?
