Roy is a lock to go 1sy, Robidas should go 2nd but he could also slide to 5th. The scouts I spoke to said the big drops are 1 to 2 and 5 to 6. Roy should be a superstar, the other 4 should be stars/impact players. This one hurts a lot more for Moncton. If I’m Moncton, I’m taking Whynot. I know some people haven’t been as high on him lately and other guys are pushing him but I think he’s going to be an elite defender in this league, he fits what the Wildcats are looking for. I'm not saying they should or shouldn't pick him, but picking for need at #3 is a recipe for disaster. If their evaluations are equal then need is the tiebreaker, just dangerous because teams will convince themselves a lesser player is as good to draft for need...then it blows up in their face. |

My guess is...Roy Robidas L'heureux Bolduc and Whynot. I think they just realistically know that Roy and Robidas won’t likely be on the table, they may still be considering them with their pick but it’s probably a long shot that they’ll even be there. So really they’re either looking at 5 guys (2 of which won’t be there) or 5 other options that they fully expect to be on the board and available. Hmmm ... no I think they have to consider all options. What if Roy says he'll only report to Quebec or Rimouski ? Then it comes down to #2 deciding between the best forward or the best Dman available. Anything can happen that could have Roy or Robidas fall to 3 or lower. |

Here is what I see the Cats needing if they are serious about a cup run…top 3-4 team overall by year end…
Goal:
Lavallee can probably handle much more of the load at 17, but in order to contend, they likely need a 19 year old who is a top 5-6(top 1/3) of the Q.
Defense:
Aspirot Spence Dejong Stewart Berube Dow Hebert are a solid group, in order to contend they at least need a top 3 guy, maybe top pair, On a powerhouse You likely have Aspirot or Spence 2nd pair. Plus possibly another 2nd pair guy depending on how the bottom of the group come along.
Forward:
McKenna Cyr Pelletier Khovanov Hudson Desnoyers J.Stewart King Foreman Alchorn Parent Langlois is where the strength of the team is, depending on how guys develop and come along they may or may not need a top 6 forward, possibly add 1-2 guys with experience as depth. Maybe a winger with size who can create space for the smaller guys and also finish.
The assets available for those moves is likely 4-6 top 2 picks plus possibly a guy like Desnoyers? Lavallee? Plus possibly Pelletier and Spence as futures. Getting 2 top flight players would cost 5 or 6 of those assets.
Not all the moves are usually made at the draft, but you can usually get quality vets cheaper now than at midseason.

And re-revaluation at Christmas. |

He played well in the playoffs and he's 19. In an ideal world I'd try and get Gravel, Lavoie and Mcisaac. I'm not big on the last two in the NHL, but I think they're both top tier Q players. It'd cost a lot for Halifax to trade them to Moncton, though. |

Turns out we are getting Rodrigue! Lalancette has said that he will be traded tomorrow to Moncton. I’m terrified what they’ll be trading for him. |

I assume the 2021 second is if he comes back as a 20? Not the worst trade if it’s just a first and a second. I’m probably way behind, but he got hurt in the playoffs right? He wasn’t beaten for the starting job by Marrone, right? |

He wasn’t beaten for the starting job by Marrone, right? Yes he got hurt and didn't lose his starting job to Marrone. I do believe the condition on the deal is, if Rodrigue returns at 20. He's signed so there's 1% chance he's back in the Q IMO. Mid 2nd and hopefully late 1st. Decent Deal |
