The only substantial trade I see Cam making is sending Fucale to a contender at the deadline. He's been playing very well for the most part, and should be a target for any team looking to upgrade at that position.
Murphy is way too inconsistent and makes a ton of bonehead plays for a team to pay for him. At 17 we paid because he had potential to be one of the best in the league. Unfortunately he's never really made that jump.
Can't see us moving Ehlers. There's still a decent chance he's back next year.
Gadoury isn't making a big enough impact for any contenders to spend assets and tie up an OA spot imo. He's been a little disappointing.. Lots of flash but little finish. Under a PPG for a pure offensive OA isn't appealing to other teams.
You never know with Vuic, but I doubt any other teams are going to want to take on his pending legal baggage.

The lean years from 2008-2010 would seem like a picnic compared to what they would be if they don't sell in the next 6-7 months. By this I mean the lean years would be extended by a couple of years. We all remember the three year 'lean' period. However, keep in mind that stretch was precipitated by the Marchand trade and the high price we paid, not because we didn't sell off assets. Given the cyclical nature of Jr hockey, the bad times can't really get worse than a three year stretch, whatever we do or not do this year. It could be made shorter than three years though! True, though I was going for the point if where they would be if they don't sell off. Plus they didn't have much they could sell off.

Considering what Connor was last year, I'm quite happy with his progression. In terms of his strength and overall game he's leaps and bounds above where he was last season. Another year of improvement and he could be a solid top 6 forward at 18.

Moynihan has been suspended two games for the aggressor penalty.
Halifax were also fined for a second fight on the stoppage, which seems weird since the officials only deemed it worthy of roughing calls.

Gadoury's value lies in what he would do on a contending team- not so much what he is doing currently in Halifax. Are other teams supposed to ignore his insane goals per game last season? The guy is an incredible offensive talent, but he's missing the net a lot this year, and not always playing with the other talented forwards, so his production has dropped. Cam will not sell low, if he can even be moved- he may have arranged a NTC to come here.

You sell the Moose players short, demand will be there. How is he selling the Moose players short? I mostly agree with what he is saying here, epically about Gadoury. He is just an average overages really. Murphy has been inconsistent and hasn't really met his full potential. The thing about Murphy though is there's not many top 4 19yo defence men on the market. For that fact alone there probably will be some interest. As for trading Elhers I think can go either way. Elhers more then likely will be back in the Q next year and Cam might want him back, but with the high pick we could get this year it might be smart to use it. We can still use it and keep the player on the protective list because Nik was a 1st rounder but there's not much point of picking a kid if we're not going to play him. The tricky part is theirs only a few teams that he can be traded to because the Euro rules. 2 teams that I do think could be interested in are Gat and Que. Que need scoring and has an open euro spot plus beig the host and all just makes sense. Gatineau (Benoit) are looking to make a run. They can trade Karabacek can be traded and Elhers is a huge upgrade plus Gat has some good assets to sell.

But if we keep winning and end up mid-pack, that pick isn't as valuable. I could see him ending up in Quebec but my gut tells me Cam won't do it. On Gadoury, he has had wildly inconsistent offensive production. He has 3 multi-point games this year (5, 4, 2), and in his other 19 games he has 9 points. You need your overagers and best offensive players to provide consistent production, that's been a big problem for this years team. Danny Moynihan is another example. Some nights he looks dominant and others he's invisible. Although he's been better lately.

Anyone can just go to last years Xmas trade period to see lesser players moved.

Ehlers can't be moved he has a no trade clause, Gads probably won't be moved as he probably has an agreement in place as part of coming to Halifax, Murphy likely won't be moved. As much as it kills me to say it I think we may deal Fucale for another goaltender but only if the asking price is right.

How do u know he has a no trade clause, are u on a first name basis with Smith and Russell? If he does have one, who's to say he doesn't waive it to go to a contender? Same with "Gads" as you call him. Its a no brainer to trade Fucale which should get the Moosehead's a good return.
