After Halifax there's not many places I can see D'Orio landing
Rouyn-Noranda is set with Harvey/Emond
Baie-Comeau must've backed off D'Orio as they turned to Quebec for Baribeau. They also acquired Lucas Fitzpatrick.
Drummondville is set with Rodrigue/Morrone
Rimouski is set with Ellis/Berube
Cape-Breton could be an option but I think they still run with Mandolese/Grimard or search for a different goalie such as Cote-Cazanave in Victoriaville or Samson in Blainville if they really wish to upgrade.
Moncton could move on from LeClerc but if that was the case I think they'd acquire a goalie that would return next year to help their run then.
Another team he could possibly end up with is Sherbrooke, I feel like they're an underdog but they also would probably rather target a returning goalie for next season when they try and make a run.

I agree that Sherbrooke could be the dark horse in the Alex D'Orio race.
The Phoenix have a couple of Maritimes kids - Jaxon Bellamy and Bailey Peach - who fit into Saint John's plan to go for the President Cup in two years. I mention the Maritimes kids specifically because I've been told that schooling for English kids is substandard at best - which is of concern to many parents. Olivier Crete-Belzile is another strong young defenceman who would be a good addition to the Sea Dogs.
It would also allow Alex to go home and play on an up-and-coming team that is capable of an upset or two in the western conference playoffs.

Or do you mean for high school aged kids? |

Sherbrooke have excellent English speaking educational institutions which are dating back 200 years.....better check back your info for schooling... |

So if D'Orio can't be moved, do we keep a 20 year old back-up? I liked what I've seen from Denisov so far. D'Orio and Denisov would be a pretty strong tandem that should give the Sea Dogs a chance to win against any team that sold during the trading period regardless of which one is playing, while not allowing games against contenders to get too far out of hand too early. It might not hurt to send the younger guys down and let them get some playing time and regain some confidence.
But if there is a 20 year old defenceman or forward out there that could be acquired cheaply (or free), that could help this team, I wouldn't be opposed either. Higgins wasn't that guy.

If D'Orio doesn't get traded, it will be like deja vu from 5 years ago. The 2 best goalies this franchise has ever drafted and developed were the wrong age for this team's cycle and could potentially be wasted for the 2nd time. The difference being that D'Orio is not likely to be back at 20.

I have no idea what the dogs are asking for Alex in a trade but if he is not traded then it is because the Dogs will not settle for less. Again I’m not sure what they want in return but let’s say it’s a first and a young player. If at the end of the trade period teams are only offering a 1st or just a good young prospect. Should they walk away or take less and be happy they have a real good 17 year old or a 1st round pick?

A strong tandem in nets wont change anything. You can only put one goalie in nets at a time. If the upgrades are not done in front of them, the victories will be few. Better to get something for Dorio than keeping him. The end result will be the same, not because of his performance but because the team is too young. Why should a team pay the big price when there are other good goalies available at a lower price. The only person that will look like a fool is Georgie. He will be able to continue justifying this season losses with the "in 2 years" promises. Meanwhile Harbour Station is empty. |

Priceless!,And just in time for Christmas 😂 I hope D’Orio gets moved, but the potential destinations seem to have dwindled. Keeping him isn’t ideal but there’s worse things that could happen. One thing that I’ve noticed in years of watching junior hockey is the young ones often show marked improvement after Christmas. Getting a few months under their belts and then Christmas break seems to work wonders, hopefully that holds true this time around. If so, we’ve gotten past the worst of it as we start to rise up again. |

Please can you show me bad moves he’s made? I for one would love to trade D’orio but if there’s not move out there keep him. We haves abundance of draft picks in the next couple drafts. If we can’t get prospects/Futures for Alex im fine with keeping him. What bad could be keeping a top flight goalie ? He’s a leader in the room helps the D out. But fuck it let’s just give him up for a 2nd a 3rd maybe a couple 8ths, you only trade him if it’s worth it, nobody gave us discounts in our runs |

This seems fair. We still get a first rounder just a year later.
