I don't really see the point of doing that unless they are only going back 3-4 picks. The big advantage a late 1st has over an early 2nd if that you can gamble on an NCAA destined kid and still get a compensatory pick if he doesn't show up. Doubt a trade like that would even be finalized at this point. Wouldn’t the team trading up want to see if the guy they want is still available at 18 before making the deal? As for the Cats end of things I don’t mind getting more picks but at a certain point you have to actually make the selections instead of trading back seemingly every single year. I think for a team like the Cats who get pretty good FA's it's better to have less 4th to 7th rounders and more top 3 picks. So a 1st is worth more than a 2nd and 4th or a 2nd more than a 3rd and 5th etc. They should be getting extra picks then try and trade up, not always trading back... |

Yup, draft will have come and gone in another 10 days! Should be an interesting draft. Theo Rochette has been added to the Central Scouting List. He's a dual citizen (Swiss/Canadian) and is considered to be one of the top 2002 born players in the world. He plans on being in Quebec next week to meet with teams. His agent is Pat Brisson. www.eliteprospects.com/player/291301/theo-rochetteOh, so it is more than just a shot in the dark by teams. He's legitimately considering coming over. |

I wonder if there would be any connection there. |

Simon LeCoultre and Axel Simic played for him in 2015/2016. The team's head coach, Yves Sarault, lives in Moncton in the off-season. |

From what I read about him, I highly doubt he makes it to Moncton's pick (well maybe Moncton's pick now held by Sherbrooke). |

2018 Draft

I am a little surprised how quiet Hodge has been on this ... I seem to recall in the past, when there were vacancies in hockey ops, we would get a series of articles speculating on potential candidates, drumming up fan interest in the team - even for relatively minor roles like assistant coaches. Now, facing perhaps the most important strategic hire of the decade, crickets ... kind of odd. One place to keep an eye on for clues might be the charity golf tournament - in past years my memory tells me that candidates for vacant positions were sometimes added as celebrities for the tournament. Speaking of which - is it me, or has the calibre of celebrities at this thing faded a bit? No offense to the guys they are touting for this year, but there are not too many who would tempt me as a business owner to open up my wallet for the chance to spend a day with .. I am sure they are great guys - just a bit lacking in name appeal ... I remember the Wildcats had an ad posted last summer on Career Beacon and Job Bank, along with the Irving website, for the assistant coach and goalie coach. I haven't seen anything like that regarding the GM job. Maybe because it's a more highly regarded position. Maybe they haven't even started accepting resumes yet. Ritchie is helping with the recruiting so I'm assuming he will tell Irving when it's time to start the search. This is funny. Look what got posted today: www.careerbeacon.com/en/job/1431834/the-moncton-wildcats/director-hockey-operations/moncton |

Cool! I am now retired and looking for part time work. This should be easy. All I have to do is train RKI properly so that he doesn't interfere and I'll be all set to go.  |

Hodge article discussing next years team has Waite, Blackmore, Kuzmin, Arsenault and Lazure as in tough to crack the team next year as 19 year olds, speculates one or two could be dealt this weekend. Somewhat interestingly given our high pick in the Euro draft, Le Coultre is listed as likely to return. Whether that is an oversight, or Hodge relaying something he heard from management, who knows? Conventional wisdom re: asset management would seem to suggest we look to deal Le Coultre this weekend and add a younger impact euro with our pick.

Conventional wisdom re: asset management would seem to suggest we look to deal Le Coultre this weekend and add a younger impact euro with our pick. I think Hodge is pretty careful about what he writes so I wouldn't be surprised if he knew that Moncton intends to move on from LeCoultre but is saving it until closer to the Euro draft to help create some intrigue at that time. Obviously, Moncton must have a deal made for at least one more of those guys in addition to Waite since Hodge expects at least more than one to be traded. Probably Arsenault and maybe traded to a team like Bathurst who will be looking to fill some spots next year. I don't really see much of a market for Kuzmin, Lazure or Blackmore. |
