Based on CSR rankings, Moncton's first 3 picks will be:
Zachary Roy (18th overall)
Alex Drover (20th overall)
Simon Pinard (27th overall)
Three forwards which I can't see happening.

Does it, though? We haven't seen enough of the goalies already in the system to know (which I don't understand - it was obvious they had no confidence in Waite, but instead of calling up one or both of the promising prospects they over-play Grametbauer). Paradis is the only goalie they have under 18. He was an 8th round pick. I think it would be smart to focus on D in round 1 plus possibly a couple more d-men in rounds 2-4 because that position is a black hole right now. Goaltending is second on the need list, ideally use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a young(16 next year) goalie who would likely go back to MAAA unless he busts down the door and makes the team. I think overplaying Grametbauer ultimately hurt them the last 2-3 months. Last year's draft was to be a windfall of young players going forward, but Bellamy Jacques and Boulianne are already gone. Hopefully they can stay the course this year. These are my basic assumptions: -drafting is essential to win in the Q, no team has won mostly with free agents and trades -goalie and defense require high draft picks, patience and development Those two things are major failings of the team the last 6-8 years. They tried to add young goalies, but still stuck with waite last year even though it was obvious he had no future in the Q. I agree that it is second on the list of needs but do think that one of our first 3 picks should be used for a Goaltender we can build around after Grametbauer is gone next year. We do have goalies in the system but we haven't given them a chance to prove anything at this level and if we stick with Grametbauer next year they will be 19 before they get a real chance. When we have drafted a goalie early in the past (Damphousse,Crawford,Riopel) they have been a big part of our core consistent winning teams. |

I agree, I would have had MacDonald or Gaudreault as the back up in the 2nd half. They couldn't have possibly done worse than Waite. |

Lavallee is the top ranked goaltender. Just a note that Nico Savoie is committed to Providence College. But other than that that would be a good looking top 3 picks.... Swap Lavalle with Pearson and you'd have 3 New Brunswick natives lol... all from Newbridge Academy too XD |
