Moncton is going to be a very small team going forward if they take Pelletier. Taking one small guy doesn't give you a small team. I agree they draft too many small guys overall, but if you can get a star calibre talent, you take that ahead of size. You can draft or trade for size down your roster. I couldnt agree more....I was in the midst of typing the Garland reference just as your post popped up. It sucks not getting 1st overall but I think we will be fine ....just hoping Shannon doesn't screw things up as he has in the past. #nofaithinShannon Go Cats |

You can draft or trade for size down your roster. You're right picking one small guy doesn't make you a small team, but overall Moncton doesn't have the biggest group already. All of the core guys are pretty small. I suppose that's why Shannon has added size elsewhere. |

A big part of the roster will be 2017 Q and Euro picks. |

Sure would like to know who was at the ball drop ... names and team affiliations. Were the GMs not invited to see the whole thing take place ? I'm going to guess that the Governors were from BC, QC, Chic, Shaw. They'd be happy to have the #1 overall player playing in their rinks 4 times a season instead of just 1. It makes no sense at all to do any of this behind closed doors. This should give you more peace of mind. www.facebook.com/LHJMQPageOfficielle/videos/1541821252496364/That settles it then ... it is what it is. Now I understand why that was done behind closed doors ... it is a slow and boring process. I even listened to see if all of the balls appeared to be the same weight and consistency. |

I see they changed the wording of the title in their article on the website to "receive the 3rd overall pick" instead of "win".
*waves to Wildcats front office*
Now please get rid of that ridiculous "home of the 3rd overall pick" as well.
