Not sure of outside of their current roster in terms of prospects and picks but they have a few players a rebuilding team would certainly be interested in 18 year old winger Pierre Luc Giguere (26 Gp 5-9-14)and 16 year old center Alex Emond (26 gp 2-4-6) are the two I'd be most interested in if we wanna take a chance on a "midget" we could also target pint sized 17 year old center Gabriel Levesque (22gp 1-5-6) Ben Cassavant is by far their best prospect. However.... I see no way they'd want Lafleur whos been inconsistant all year. They have Sniderman. Not much between the two right now, and Sidnerman has much more experience. They want Blanchard.... and have an offer that Victo won't except, because they insist on Cassavant, whom R-N won't part with at this time. Good news for Rouyn, is Victo will almost certainly move him to make room for Poulin, so the price may come down as long as someone else doesn't step up and grab Blanchard (Bathurst maybe). |

You missed my point murph... even if you truly believe Sniderman is as good as Lafleur (he's not).. why would Rouyn not consider a package involving morrison and lafleur?.. they dont downgrade much on tending (not at all actually) while significantly upgrading their overagers and offense by adding Morrison
how exactly does sniderman have much more experience btw?
and why is this cassavant kid not playing if he's by far their best prospect???

I guess one could suggest Sniderman has a better team in front of him to suggest why he would have better stats then Lafleur. Lafleur has struggled this season but I have to think it has something to with his very young and inexperienced defense? |

the majority of the bad goals lafleur has let in are from outside. not the fault of the d. he is just not psitioned right or its lack of concentration. our defense makes mistakes, but lafleur has not been good overall.

How does he have more experience? How about his Presidents Cup ring and Memorial Cup experience in 2006? Doesn't get much more experienced than that. Lafleur may have more talent, and was better ~last year~, but so far this year, his terrible start is as big of a reason why PEI iswhere they are. He'd have to turn it around pretty significantly over the next 5 weeks for a contender to entertain the idea of bringing him in as the #1. Blanchard and Nadeau are much more reasonable options for Rouyn. You seem to think Morrison is the cog in the deal. But why would the Huskies add a center, which is a position they're already deep in, at the risk of their goaltending? If Rouyn can pick up Nadeau, they may look at Morrison. Cassavant left Rouyn in training camp because he didn't think he would get enough ice time on their stacked team which would hurt his development. Same as David Gilbert did for Halifax. Ironically enough, they're team mates in midget, and good friends. |

Guy inherited this squad and no doubt would like to change up the mix of guys, make it more HIS team. His hands are tied right now with no trade ability... but I wouldnt be shocked to see a lot of changes.. not a firesale of top talent, but definately changes. |

My guess is that four players currently with the Rocket won't be here after the trading period, but it could be more, maybe even 6 or 7.
Guy has to put his own stamp on this team, and the trading period is his only foreseeable opportunity, prior to the draft next summer.

They are higher on Emond and Casavant is currently damaged goods, out for the year with a shoulder seperation. |

Not the way hes playing right now no.. but then again neither would Jhase Sniderman make me warm and fuzzy knowing he was my number 1 either LaFleur is struggling no doubt.. but he is not near as bad as his stats are showing right now |

The rumours floating around are rampant right now about all this trade activity at Christmas. I look at our team though, and it keeps occuring to me that we don't have much to offer as trade bait if we want something substantial back. Looking at the list above Morrison is obviously worth something as is latal, but I don't think anyone is gonna give up anything for the rest of the guys listed. I think we can all agree that Southorn, Doyle, and Kana are not for sale, and I really believe that Walker will not be moved because we need at least one Vet to lead our forwards. I certainly think Guy and Serge want to make a lot of deals, but I don't know how much interest they are going to get.

However, I feel that with players like Morrison, Latal, Lafleur and Lessard up for grabs, that they do have a lot to offer and that Guy SHOULD be able to get a very nice return for those players. |
