I think its time to give up and move on from this Flynn & Nolan stuff. However bringing in 2 high quality replacements would go a long way to instill some confidence in the fanbase. I love that Rumble allows players to be creative and encourages hard work & physical play but at this point the team is playing worse than they were in September/October with a much better roster & I'm continually seeing defenseman making the same mistakes every game, some of the defenseman are borderline regressing. I can see your point on Nolan and Flynn ... but agree wholeheartedly with you on a high quality coach and GM being needed ... if not them, someone comparable. They need a huge upgrade at GM regardless of who it is. That GM should then decide on who the next coach is. |

I'm sure Pelletier is as good as gone for 2019/20 if the Cats host the Memorial Cup next year. Anything of value will be gone. As much as I would love for Moncton to host the Memorial Cup I think we all know it would be best if they did not. They would be paying astronomical prices just to try and catch up with the likes of Halifax, Drummondville, etc. For sure. I have no idea what the cost is, but PO Joseph is rumoured to be one of the deals on the table. Crazy to say, but I really hope they lose the bid because like you say, I don't want to have to pay the price to make this team competitive with the front runners next year, cost will be way too high. would love to see what the price on Joseph would be if you were acquiring him at the draft and getting him for a full season in a memorial Cup hosting role from a divisional rival |

One coming back for Jeremy McKenna for his 20 year old season. |

RKI is going to kill the future of this team if we win the Memorial cup bid, ever since Saint John and Halifax won the cup, he has been obsessed with getting a title for Moncton, but in the wrong way he thinks every year is a go for it year. On top of that he has Shannon as the GM who cannot make a good trade to save his life. Getting rid of Pelletier would be a colossal mistake and one that will come back to bite them in the ass time and time again. Trading what we did to get Sylvestre, that was just insane! What was the real purpose of that? If they really did want him they could have gotten him cheaper later on, maybe at the draft, but no way I give up our first + for him. Half ass run team if you ask me. I can see the new rink being pretty much empty after that first year of novelty wears off. That's my pet peeve on Sylvestre, what is the big rush to fill an OA spot with a guy that is solid but not dominant in a season where you are among the worst in the league? Plus the 1st round pick that was Quebec's is moving up as Quebec has slipped from top 3 to mid back, would now be 11th, may end up 10th. Agree completely, did we really need Sylvestre this year? Answer no, sure would be a lot better going into the draft with 3 first round picks, our own could be #1 overall, probably top 5 for sure then say #10 and a later first rounder, that looks impressive. You could then possibly deal one or two of them for some high end talent if you win the MEM cup bid, then pick up a guy like Sylvestre or similar for say a 2nd + roster player you won't be needing something like that. Shannon and Irving are killing this team more and more each year. The fan base should wise up and just stay away. |

Agree on this one ... terrible asset management to pay what he did for Sylvestre when he did ... I am sure there would be a stay at home d-man available as an OA some time between the draft and next trade deadline for a 2nd or 3rd round pick alone - heck, watch us end up moving Sylvestre for that next Xmas so that we can add another impact OA for the second half. Absolutely right, they will regret this deal for a long time. |

One coming back for Jeremy McKenna for his 20 year old season. McKenna could be playing pro at 20, his story looks a bit like Batherson's the last few years. His big break out should get him drafted, if he takes another step forward at 19, he likely isn't back at 20. |

I would prefer having Bellamy here and playing a regular shift and only 2 1st round picks, but that's another story. |

Is it time to clean house of potential 19 year old bottom 6 forwards like Lazure, Blackmore and Kuzmin? Which bubble guys have earned a job for next year?

Another questionable decision at midseason was adding 18 year old Lazure plus 19 year old Fox instead of younger guys who they could develop. I think Blackmore and Kuzmin will need to come to camp and show a big step forward to make the team at 19. Lecoultre is surely gone with the Cats picking top 15 in the Euro draft. |

I have no problem adding Fox and Lazure. They didn’t cost anything. They’re not taking ice time away from younger players with the injuries to Cyr and Pataki. Jake Stewart is with the team for the rest of the season. He’s a young guy. He played this past weekend while Lazure was a healthy scratch. What other young guys are you referring to? Stephen Fox is the same situation as Jacob Hudson last season. Playing on a top Midget AAA team. Getting tons of ice time. Has a chance to help CB West get to the Telus Cup for a second year in a row. |

I would have had Stewart(16) and S.Fox(17) on the roster instead of Lazure(18) and C.Fox(19) who have no future in the Q next season... |
