Crosby out too. Doesn't sound long term like Levesque, but what little forward depth Halifax has, is being tested big time. Gonna have to lean on the big line even more. Would love to see trade made too but it's only Nov 16. It's not happening. Just for perspective the Lawrence trade was made November 28th and as I said was all constructed durning the Monctonain. Cam will be rubbing elbows with other GM’s, as I said I see something happening in the next week or two. Which lines up with last year.

Levesque is indefinitely and Crosby is out day-to-day again.

Good chance for Peitzsche to move up the lineup he had 5goals and 2 assists in his first 11 games before being demoted to 3 rd line , also goood chance for Fontaine and moser to get some minutes and some more experience along with Mackenzie on the back end.

Just as a guesstimate for everyone:
The assumption is that Lou has a broken wrist which, according to Dr. Google, would put him out for around 3 months, give or take. Tho he would most likely be able to start non-contact practice in around 8 weeks. If that's true, at least we would see him again this season and most importantly he would be back and get some games in before playoffs start (which I assume will start around April 1st).

My interpretation of indefinite is that they are sending him home for the time being - at the very minimum until after the holidays. What an absolute bummer.

As I mentioned already.....many times, Horth is 2nd in QMJHL goals scored. He is 1ST in PP goals scored. Bottom line is, the kid can score. Goals scored do matter. As we've mentioned many times, he's a great player but not a great fit. We need a 2C and faceoff guy first.

He’s scoring goal on the team that he’s getting top minutes and usage from. Halifax he goes to 2nd line and less playing time. Do you think he keeps up his production? I don’t see it here. That’s why we’re saying guys like Roelens or Reynolds are better fits. They can be the main engine to a line where Horth needs other player to do that. His 10 ppg really do t mean anything to Halifax they’re scoring on the PP.

These are my two personal favourite ideas.
Acquire: Joseph Henneberry/Milo Roelens Acquire: Carter Bickle.
Acquire: Carter Bickle/Michael Horth Acquire: Joseph Henneberry
———————————
Cataford | Vidicek | Dumais Levesque | Henneberry | Crosby Kilfoil | Roelens | Fournier Peitzsche | Todd | MacPhee
Cataford | Vidicek | Dumais Levesque | Henneberry | Fournier Horth | Kilfoil/Todd | Crosby Peitzsche | Todd/Kilfoil | MacPhee
Lines are completely adjustable and don’t completely break the bank or remove any chemistry already built.
I’m split on the realistic side of Brody Fournier, in my opinion I want the Mooseheads to move him but realistically don’t think they will.
Then I look back at Jordan Maher, the Mooseheads traded the overage right winger for a center (Keith Getson), so in a way I still do think it’s possible. We need faceoff depth. I really want Peter Reynolds but I think he’d be costly. That Denis guy did look really good against Halifax but I don’t know much about him.
——
If Charlottetown is willing to give up Bickle they could run Aksels Ozols and Niko Boudreau.
Canadas World Junior team will send three goalies over to Sweden so there’s a real good chance Rousseau is gone so having Bickle & Milner as a tandem in the meantime is very beneficial. Then Milner goes down to Truro when Rousseau is back.
It doesn’t have to be those exact overagers but I would think the Moose keep the trading as minimal as possible.
I don’t know, is it a bad idea? Won’t happen?

Won’t happen? I would also like this - however, I highly doubt Bathurst trades their top 2 Centers without getting one back in return. Keep in mind the Titan don't have their own first and still need to play hockey after Christmas. A center depth chart of Vidicek, Roelens, Henneberry would be very, very good, but I don't see it happening.

I'll put this argument forward for Horth, yes, he can score goals, but he can score garbage goals. He's big, he's strong and he has good hands in and around the net. I think the Mooseheads do actually need that, like, Horth on PP1 with Dumais, Vidicek, Cataford and Shultz, it gives us a much better look than Fournier in that spot. I'll clarify I don't like the Horth acquisition if we don't address the depth at center issue elsewhere, but.. I definitely wouldn't mind it. Also, part of me hopes they acquire Roelens... just because I want to see if they let him wear #96 lol.

Also, part of me hopes they acquire Roelens... just because I want to see if they let him wear #96 lol. I agree with pretty much everything you just said but I feel the exact same argument could be made about Mianscum. He’s actually my top player to try and acquire. I think you can take him and put him with Vidicek and Dumais and he can keep up with them. That allows to move Cataford to the 2nd line and run that. I don’t think Horth can keep up with the other 2 guys and would be thrown on the 2nd line. I’m not saying Halifax will never go get him, it just there’s a list of 3 or 4 other players I’d be looking before him. If some how Cam is able to get a player like Luneau then a guy like Horth who is going to be cheaper then some other would make sense, because he will have less to offer.

Roelens and Henneberry would be huge adds imo. They have been the absolute bright spots on a streaky Titan team this year.
