What about the rumour last year (or the year before) about TJ Brennan going to Cape Breton? Will you possibly see that finally come true this year Why would we trade for a pro player? Yeah, that deal only makes sense if Ward goes pro.... and Brennan doesn't. I'd put my money on the more likely scenario, of Brennan going pro, and Ward returning. It might be the type of thing, where Cape Breton and Montreal are talking, and maybe even strike a tenative agreement, where if Brennan is back, and Ward isn't, they can pull the trigger right away. Halifax and Drummondville did with Pelletier a couple years ago...... I think their deal leaked out in June, but wasn't signed off on until Pelletier was officially back. Even at the recent draft, where the Mooseheads and Huskies had a deal for O'Connor the night before, but it would only happen if Andrews was available when the Huskies pick came up.

Without starting a war, does anyone else not like Ward?

Saab is a year younger and more rugged/tougher than Boudreau so I would take Saab over Boudreau if were looking for a 5-6 guy.

Without starting a war, does anyone else not like Ward? What do you mean by not like him? He's a good top pairing guy, far from perfect as most D are at this level, but is very competitve. Should be among the best D in the league at 20.

I found he didn't do much in the playoffs last year, especially given his experience. I much prefer guys like Piskacek and Meilleur.

I think that Ward played a tremendous role down the stretch and in the playoffs for us last year. I have to disagree with you there.
