let start , should moncton try to get more of offence to try to do a little run for it OR try to get what they can for the right price for player like :
Riopel => would be a great fit in Quebec or even Rimouski (hosting the Cup)
Sill => one of the best defence foward in the league
Cameron => who had more down and up
Boyle => would a top D in any team
Or
we could try to go get didominico , and some other impact player

why go after didomenico? he's a one-way player who won't backcheck, whines like a baby when things don't go his way, takes slashing penalties 180 feet from his own net if someone even looks at him, and the only thing i see in him that works hard is his mouth. did great last season, but without howes and picard-hooper there, he's not producing much offense, and i don't think the Cats forwards are very much more skilled than the existing sea dogs forwards. though i will say that even a guy like Jordan Lane belongs on a first line in the Q more than ryan sparling does. you guys ever notice sparling gets about 10 breakaways a game and can't put a puck in the ocean!? i'd rather see the Cats go after a player like Jarrad Struthers perhaps or Maxime Gratchev. Gratchev had 3 points for lewiston lastnight, he's a great player, he's 20 so this is his last year, but also he does not count as a euro.

Exactly, we wouldn't want to burden anyone with our 2 top scorers.....both averaging about a ppg. As usual, your opinion is taken totally for what it's worth.

As usual, your opinion is taken totally for what it's worth. how many ppg is your team averaging? you know, the team that was supposed to run away with the league and win the memorial cup and go down in history as the greatest CHL team ever, even better than the 2005-06 London Knights.

I have to agree with freevick on this one Hooper and Howes statements are true. The Whinning is true about Dido. However I do like Ryan Sparling, but it is also true how he's not been the same player he was last year when the team had Howes and Hooper. The Sea Dogs overall are something like -47 aren't they? Regardless, I'm not sure where I stand on the topic of the Cats 'going for it' right now.

The season's not even half over yet...give it time Greatest ever.....even better than the 05/06 Knights.....your expectations were much too high.....First time I ever heard those predictions.....how's the weather in your world today, it's snowing here on Earth.

Like I said, season's not even half over......come back in March. Maybe we're in contention, maybe not....but you don't win or lose anything in November.

You must have had your head up your butt at the time because that has never been said...we thought we had the best team in the division (which Moncton has disproven), but I don't think anyone in SJ had us above Shawinigan or Quebec at the beginning of the year...let alone London of 05/06

freevick, you remind me of Leafs fans I knew a few years back, trying to convince me Jagr sucked when he was a perennial favourite to win the Art Ross. The only reason I can think of why they thought so was because he wasn't a Leaf. I'm not saying Dido is that good, but the idea is the same.
You can like a guy or not, that's up to you. But if you've ever seen him forecheck or create something from nothing on a 2-on3 rush, you wouldn't be so down on him. True, he's slow coming back sometimes, but there are 2 reasons for that. 1, he's not a great skater, and 2, by the 3rd period on the road, he's normally dog-tired from all the hacks and sashes he takes and all the minutes he plays being double-shifted to get away from checkers, on the PP, and killing penalties. That's right, the "one-way player who doesn't backcheck" is one of our top 4 or 6 PK guys. The only reason he's not top 2 is to save those minutes for when he can open up the ice.
Also, the reason he's not putting up offense (if you can call 24 points in 19 games "not producing much offense.") is exactly right. No Picard to play second line and spread out the offense, and no Howes to bury the chances Dido creates. That doesn't mean he doesn't create any more, in fact, the opposite is true. He's had to create more chances to get less return so far. In no way is that a knock on Dido.
I'm not necessarily a huge Dido fan, but I appreciate him.

They have Q calibre players as prospects plus like 8 extra top 5 picks the next 2 years, no need to rebuild. My guess is you'll see them add 1 maybe 2 players. Maybe a top 4 defenseman to take some pressure off Barberio/Gormley/Savard..19 or 20. Also possibly a 1st line center/winger in the 75-80 point mold(19 or 20).
