Who knows, I think hes a bit upset that SJ was talking him up as the #1 pick for like a week only to get tossed aside to 4th overall. That was definitely a part of it I think. Still lots of time to get that stuff settled though. We know how much teams use the media to get a message out there. SJ probably told him to sit tight and they'll find a way to acquire him. As good as Veleno is they're not contending with him right away. In 6 months time Bowers gets CB a currently untouchable asset from SJ in my opinion if this thing drags out. Yeah, don't really see a down side to holding onto him until Christmas. Maybe he changes his mind in August or if not they can trade him to SJ if they like the value offered.

Moynihan fills a center need and Donaghey would upgrade Gosselin who needs to be moved for Moynihan. It helps Halifax get real bad to get a shot at Xavier Parent next summer. Bathurst wasn't really a trade match for Halifax but I think the Eagles are.

Let the bidding war begin. This is becoming shameful.. Is dumont that stubborn? Wouldn't the question be asked , will you report? If not, pick someone else or make the SJ trade! Why do either if they're not the best move, though? If the best move is picking the best asset I am never going to complain about that. Do I even need to bother explaining how handling a situation like this correctly can set a team up for years? Roy didn't want to play here. People said make him sit. Don't trade him. Or pick someone else. Leveille Deschamps Dubois O'Leary-->Ranger Bowers--> All because Dumont was willing to pick a kid who didn't want to play here. The absolute worse case scenario here is the 5th overall pick next year.

The kid is 16 and it's June, there is no rush for anything.

"How did you build you're team Mr. Dumont? " "Well, I picked two guys who I knew weren't going to report, and I got all these picks/players in return!!"

They made out like bandits with the Roy pick. Why pass on Bowers if he is a lot better than anybody else? Try and get him to report, if he won't then trade him for more than the 5th guy on your list. Smart move.

Check your pride at the door, this is about winning on the ice and doing what's best for the Eagles. All these kids have the right to have a say in where they play too.
