I can't see the Eagles using the 1st overall towards an 04 born. So that likely leads to a top 18 or 19 YO player. In terms of contenders potentially rebuilding next year these are *possible* situations/starting points to bigger deals Baie-Comeau - I'm not sure what their plans really are next year but if they decide to rebuild then Poirier is a prime target. Bernier on the backend would be a nice add as well. Rouyn - A combination of Brunelle/Verdon + Zonnon could maybe be possible? Not sure if that's the route though. Halifax - Cataford would be an obvious target assuming he's not going to Rimouski like Rumored. Drummondville - Gauthier would be the prime target but like Cataford, rumored to Rimouski. Victoriaville only really has Larose and that doesn't get it done alone so I doubt they're a partner. other than those It's really hard to pinpoint another hypothetical deal, only team I can see being rather interesting is if Shawinigan decides to offload some of their higher value guys and have a package of Lacerte + Tourigny to start. Those could be big adds and could allow Shawinigan a proper rebuild as well. That's essentially how I feel about it as well, guess we'll see who Rimouski has targeted, I wouldn't think they have the assets to land both the big fish. They aren't loaded with assets, I'm only seeing one additional 1st round pick in their bank. Might be crazy but I'd rather make the pick than trade it for Cataford unless there was a sizeable addition on the Moose side, where as I'd be happy to trade the pick + some more for Gauthier just due to the age difference. Rouyn is an interesting potential partner.

I believe Rouyn-Noranda has already come out and said at their end of season address they aren't trading Zonnon so you can scratch him off the list of potential targets.

I don’t understand what age has to do with Gauthier and Cataford? They’re both 05’s and only 6 weeks apart.

You're right there actually, for some reason I thought Gauthier was in his 17 year old season. The point I was trying to make was that I'd rather trade for the best available 18 year old who would have a similar impact, if possible - to get that extra junior season out of them if we're trading a 1st overall pick.

There’s 2 players that fit that bill but I think neither will be available. Poirier and Masse are the 2 06’s that would be game changers but both are on teams who could still compete next year. If one is available it might be Poirier, but him being a 50 goals scorer he goes on the market he’ll be the big fish.

They said Zonnon wasn't included as a future in any of their deal made this season. They didn't say they wouldn't eventually trade him.

Baie-Comeau - I'm not sure what their plans really are next year but if they decide to rebuild then Poirier is a prime target. Bernier on the backend would be a nice add as well. BC fans think their team will retool with the older guys next season and make a run again when Poirier and Boilard are 19.

Also Bernier, Gilbert, Mathieu, Plourde, Pearson, etc. will all be back and a year older and they have some good options for their OA's.
