What are the odds that Lavallee already has a request in to be traded at the draft?

It's beyond stupid that they have a young goalie in prime developmental years sitting for basically 6 weeks. He's played a grand total of one period in 2019.
80 minutes the last 9 weeks.

Lol I was upset about this last weekend but now it's just comical. What an embarrassment. Can't even give your backup goalie who has 1 start in 2 months a start against the worst team in the league who also happened to have played 6 hours away the night before.
If Rumble had done this half of you would be downtown with the pitch forks and signs.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Then they'll wonder why they are not a prime destination for Euros or NCAA kids...

Wildcats win percentage after last night:
Home 53.7%
Away: 66.7%
So yeah, let's burn out Leclerc and sacrifice Lavallée's development (and at this point, his trade value as well) all for a shot at home ice "advantage" in the 1st round.
Complete insanity.

It's amazing how at this level fans on a message board know more about running a team and how to develop talent then the people being paid 6 figures to do so.
I had no idea Moncton was riding Leclerc so hard until Kris Abbott tweeted that it was his 14th(!!!) straight start, that Torchetti has never played the backup, and just played 2 of the worst teams in the CHL.
And all this by a team right in the middle of the league. It's incredible how these average teams have no regard for their own franchises future with some of the actions management and coaches take. But the same people have the nerve to call out fans if ticket sales are not where they want it to be or their "exciting team" was bought and paid for with the franchises future and the real fans have a tough time getting behind the direction knowing it's leading them nowhere.
It's really unfortunate that as fans we have no choice but to either support this stuff or become the person preaching the truth on a message board that is painfully obvious but falls on deaf ears internally.

Complete insanity. Yep and the "devils advocate people" will say "that home ice could be the difference between winning a round or not meaning an extra 2-3 home games and an extra $50K or more in revenue" while the other side of that is that anything you put into now is coming from the future. Riding an overage goalie now and not properly preparing someone for next year means you're overpaying next year for a veteran more then likely. So those 2-3 extra home games, under the best case scenario to most people, are costing future assets which mean future years could be hurt and we could just be giving back those 2-3 home games over the next cycle all because we were a .500 team that decided to ride overage goaltending into the ground. Then these same franchises say they're using the London Knights as their template. |

They're completely taken for granted in this era where teams market to children and people who just want a night out because those people don't know enough to make educated complaints about the product and make the job of the people in charge much easier. Here in CB we have people who think Mitchell Balmas was the smartest addition this franchise has made in a decade. |

This has been said many times and in many ways “Irving is gonna Irving” with his team’s rebuild or whatever it’s become ? Does anybody else get the inkling that to some extent their going to have to blow it up again at the draft ?
