Grabbing a quick quote from Peter Simon in this morning's Global article: One way to accomplish this is to keep Rousseau. He can and will singlehandedly keep a rebuilding/retooling team in a lot of games. A few of next year's contenders are probably set in net already, so the goalie market might not be great anyways.
BIG difference between Rousseau in net for 40+ games compared to Milner for 40+ games.

This year:
- Mooseheads were an 'A-' team with lots of stars, lost a number of games they should have won, won a few against the top teams in the league played well in the first half, made the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round.
Next year: - Mooseheads will be a 'C' team with lots of young players but few stars, win a few they should have lost, struggle to get near 0.500, will make the playoffs and will be eliminated in the first round.
Not a whole lot of difference in the end!

Not a whole lot of difference in the end! Somehow it feels like this SHOULD be how it goes, kinda like the Titan SHOULD have lost against us. So I am excited to see what'll happen.

With CB winning the draft lottery last night I can’t help but think this is their best chance at getting Cataford. I didn’t think there was a fit between these two teams for a trade involving Cataford until now. I did however think there was a possibility of another trade between the 2 teams and now I can see them making a big splash as soon as the draft. The total trade I have no idea what it would look like but a trade of Cataford, Sprynar for the 1st overall and Milota as the bones of the trade could have some meat on it. Mikita is good and I’m sure they don’t really want to give him up but Ruccia will be number 1 again and Sprynar is a goal scorer. Cataford is Halifax’s key asset and the number 1 overall pick is the key rebuilding piece.
This is totally just a throw shit at the wall type trade but I could see something like this.
Halifax: Cataford, Sprynar 2024 a pick in 2025 after the 2nd round.
CB: 1st overall 2024, Milota, Foley.
This jump starts Halifax’s rebuild and they still have their own In 2025 where they could be a lotto pick team too. Plus a high euro pick that year.

And people wonder why out of towners mock trade ideas. Milota's value is much higher than this trade offer reflects. Cataford at Xmas gets you a late 1st, a 2nd, and something for the following season as a future. Cataford and a late pick getting you a 1st overall isn't happening.

Personally I wouldn't be keen on trading 1st overall for Cataford, that's just my opinion as an Eagles fan, it's not that he's not a great player, it's his age more than anything.

Makes no sense to do so. You can trade down and accumulate assets and still get a Cataford. Top picks are rarely if ever moved for veterans 1 for 1. It would have to be a massive deal involving many more pieces.

SJ has other picks and pieces that could be moved to make a deal like this work...BUT what is in it for SJ outside of getting 1 (which they could realistically buy from CB without touching Cataford).

Cam would have traded it for our runs over the last couple years but ironically the Mooseheads most likely would have owned the first overall pick at some point had Bobby Smith not gotten involved in scrapping the Desnoyers trade 2 years ago.
Hopefully at some point in the future this franchise can rid itself of the stench of Bobby Smith.

If that’s not on the table once again just my opinion but I think he is destined to go to Rimouski. In this case CB is buying him up and taking either 1A or 1B player on the market. That’s a different debate in itself. As for Sprynar part you guys gain 55 goals. Yes you could draft someone but you don’t know what you’re going to get. Now there is the other side of this whole talk and is CB still competing next year? They have some big holes that will need to be filled. They will lose some guys for nothing with all the 04 they have. The one lock is Ruccia. If he comes back the next lock is Cibulka, if he doesn’t then Schimtt is guaranteed a spot too. The question is is Schimtt all ready guaranteed a spot and then you let Newcombe or Houde just walk?

Too early to say which 20s the team will go with, if I had to guess right now it's probably Ruccia, Schmitt and Newcombe. The D will be fine without Cibulka and the only real loss would be Houdes scoring which we're looking to replace via trades. We may also just roll with Milota in goal who's proven he's a quality starter in the league, and then we aren't really losing any of the firepower at all.

You can focus on whats isn't coming back but don't let it distract you from what is. Its arguably a top 4 team without adding anything. The guy you have as the 1 lock is probably not even going to be here because his backup is younger and quite good himself. The other lock is probably turning pro. Having 5-6 excellent overage options is certainly not a bad thing when you have the other pieces returning like Squires, Romeo, Lavoie, Daigle, Burbidge, Ricard, Fullerton. Roll with Newcombe, Houde, and Schmitt as the overagers and Milota in goal and there's not many teams returning that type of depth and experience.
