You want a guy who can score on the pp his name is Horth you should have acquired him last year Dumais should do wonders for the powerplay. I didn’t mind the idea of Horth last year, but their PP wasn’t a concern last year. As for Horth this year… barring Cam working behind the scenes to acquire a top 19 year old centre, I would be surprised to see the open 20 year old spot used to acquire a winger. I imagine a centre is priority 1 and then a winger if Fournier doesn’t work out. Fournier is certainly rolling right now with 5 goals in his last 4 games. |

Roelens would still be a good option. He's putting up points pretty much every game so far, has size, and probably one of the best faceoff guys in the league.

I'd like Roelens but I feel like Gordie is going to hang onto him until Christmas. Depending on the length of the Crosby injury it'd be nice to pick up someone who can stick on that second line for a bit, but I'm not sure there's a cheap option like Huard Jr. Around this year |

Local Boy. Highly doubt we’d do something like pick up a Junior A player this season, but there’s guys like Carter McCluskey, Felix Bedard down there. It would only be until Christmas obviously. There’s def some good players down there. I would love Roelens as well, can play both wing and center, feel like when we hype a player up we don’t take them though. Lol |

A lot of people are starting to get very complacent with Brady Fournier. I’ll admit he’s doing fine but he’s still very replaceable. Right now he’s getting to play top PP and top line minutes. Once Dumais comes back where does he go? He’s playing Dumais position right now. Also let’s say we go and get that big upgrade we all think they will go for, where does he fall then too?
To say he’s not going anywhere is dumb. Look 2 20yo who have been mentioned a few times as possible targets are in the top 3 of scoring in the league. Let’s say Cam targets both guys and brings Roelens, Mianscum over. Our top 6 looks a lot more interesting than any combo you could ever say with including Fournier in it. Here what your top 6 slash 9 could look like.
Mianscum/ Vidicek/ Dumais
Cataford/ Roelens/ Crosby
Peitzsche/ Kilfoil/ McPhee
If Fournier was not 20, Yes he would probably be fin to keep and slide into McPhees spot. However he is 20 and there’s no spot for him if this becomes the forward group. Also if this becomes the forward group that’s a team I want to see in the playoffs. Plus the 4 line would have Fontaine, Levesque, Ponzetto and Todd to play with.

Agree if Halifax could put that lineup out in the playoffs we would be one of the favourites to win it all ?
Question is how do we go about acquiring them without giving up futures like Cataford and Vidicek and or Rousseau /Shultz

Matt MacDonald has been traded to Blainville for a 2025 5th.
Cheap price. Always have to wonder if there is a different, bigger plan in place since Halifax has an open 20 slot.

The only thing is your giving up 2025 and 26 1st and 2nd round picks. The next 4 drafts can be ugly. |

At this price it tells me Cam isn’t interested in another Huard type player. A guy to be a place holder until a better option becomes available. Really a 5th round pick next year is nothing and would have made sense. So like I said Cam must like giving the young guys the ice time they’re getting. |
