I also think its silly that were using a 20 yr old spot on a guy that gets lit up almost everytime he's in the crease. This is a recurring topic on this thread along with in the rink. 2 goals on 2 shots within the first 3 minutes in front of 4000+ fans that killed any potential atmosphere. Cut him. He's terrible. Simple as that. I don't know why Dumont has such a god damn hard on for Brassard. Take your losses from what you gave up for Brassard and call someone up. I mean, we are out of the playoffs right now so what does it matter he's a 20 year old who is playing like an inexperienced 16 year old

Your right. It just boggles my mind nothing is happening. I honestly thought we would see him scrambling trying to keep the organization behind him by improving the team. But hes been quiet, still losing. I can't tell, are you upset that he's not scrambling to make moves just to make himself look good? I'd be more worried if he was making trades just for the sake of making trades. Trading Farrell would make sense if CB didn't already have an ass load of assets. As it stands it would do way more harm than good with fans and probably players. The few months of Farrell influencing Dubois is more than what I'd expect CB to get in a trade.

Im not upset no, i just can't believe we hear NOTHING. Cote and clan really must have no idea what their doing or just plain don't care. I don't even know what to think anymore.

Fully agree with giving someone else a shot in nets, why not, it can't get much worse.Why not give Lavallie and Muise a look. As far as it being quiet on the trade front, that could be for any number of reasons. I am hearing that the Board of Directors are not happy with where this team is at,whether or not they are prepared to do anything about it is another thing. As mentioned before, this organization has been a dog and pony show for the past five or six years;whether or not they are willing to spend the resources o fix the problem, who knows.I guess you only get what you pay for in the long run.

Why do we need Farrell to influence Dubois when we have Bishop (pending injury) as well as Pelts. They are our Captain and Assistant respectively. I think we can use all the assets we can get honestly. I think getting some picks and a young gun for Farrell is better than keeping him around on a losing club. He's been through thick and thin for us and I strongly believe he deserves to be on a contending team. I don't think fan loyalty fan get any worse than it already is. Trading a 20 year old Farrell for the future doesn't seem to bad. We got to see him for 4 years.

I'd be surprised if Farrell wanted to leave but I'm 100% sure if he was traded there would be a large crew of fans at the C200 with pitch forks lol Expecting or hoping for a Farrell trade is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

It would sure be nice to see 10+ people out with pitch forks if Farrell got traded though...

I would be the first guy to say "give Farrell a shot at a Championship" , the kid deserves it as opposed to staying on this sinking ship . Do whatever ..........except exclude Dubois from any trades .

Trading Farrell would make sense if CB didn't already have an ass load of assets. As it stands it would do way more harm than good with fans and probably players. The few months of Farrell influencing Dubois is more than what I'd expect CB to get in a trade. You can't really believe this, can you? Farrell is a very good hockey player, folks. But some of you are posting as if his leadership and impact on the community are not replaceable. Does he even wear a letter on his jersey every game? Good player, yes. But to have an impact to the point of trading him robs our best 16yr old of valuable learning experience when his absence likely leads to more ice time and opportunity for that 16yr old to produce and develop? Only Cape Bretoners can find that kind of value in an above average 20yr old who happens to have grew up 15 minutes from C200. I enjoy watching Farrell and by no means mean to bash him since I know thats how some will take this. But to say the kid of a former pro hockey player who coaches in the league is going to somehow miss out on an influence provided by a player headed for Canadian College hockey in a few months is a laughable statement to make. Farrell doesn't get traded because he has Lalonde value(2nd and 3rd) in my opinion even though his numbers peg him as being worth a 1st + and if a team comes with an offer like that I think you can acquire him. But it seems like most teams have their 20's set. What the fans think/say about him is irrelevant, as it should be. Few players would have been traded if you waited for a unanimous approval from a fan base, especially this one.

Farrell is the best all around player on this team, I think he does deserve a shot somewhere else since it is his last year. You can mention leadership and what have you but if the organization thought of him as such a leader they would have given him the C like they should have.

I also think any player can be "influenced" who is to say they couldn't bring in a guy with just as much experience and advice as farrell. I also agree with the drop Brassard statement. He should be better then what he has been. When you're on the fringe of not making the playoffs or are not in the playoffs in a league where only two teams don't get in it is silly.

No need for a pissing match. Im curious how it was misinterpreted now. How else should it have been taken? I said "The few months of Farrell influencing Dubois is more than what I'd expect CB to get in a trade" I'll repeat the quote in different words if it helps? I don't think the return on Farrell would be as valuable as having Farrell on the roster influencing a young player like Dubois. I didn't say he was irreplaceable. I didn't say Dubois would be getting robbed if Farrell was traded. I didn't say he would be more than a future CIS player. I didn't say a unanimous approval from the fan base was required. All I said was that I valued his presence more than what I believe the return would be.

So our last game I can see is 2015-03-21. So you're saying that his presence for the next 3 months is better than what we potentially can have for 4 years?
