I hope they add three pieces. Whether it's Mercer, Lavoie or another similar player for the first line, they need to add in this spot. Element for the third line just makes sense. A top 3 D is also a must. If they are serious about making a REAL run this year, this is how I want then to do it. I know it will cost a lot in futures, but what a season this could be. Don't want to see them miss out on a golden opportunity to separate themselves from the pack. Pelletier - Khovanov - Mercer/Lavoie Desnoyers - Cyr - McKenna L'Heureux - Hudson - Element Foreman - Stewart - King Bergeron/McIsaac - Andersson Huntley - Spence ? - DeJong Rodrigue Lavallee This is an ideal roster post Christmas deadline, but I can't help but think they will only tinker. The one time in my life I hope Irving meddles and forces the all in chip on Torchetti đ. Up front, I think we could use a couple of two way forwards more than another pure offense guy ... with Pelletier, Khovanov, McKenna and Cyr, scoring goals should not be a problem ... a guy like B-O Groulx would be an ideal fit as a second line centre who could match up against top lines ... Element also. Mercer and Lavoie would be nice, but more of what we already have IMO ... same on defense - I think we need a physical, shut-down guy more than another offensive type - Andersson and Spence bring more than enough offense already. That's a very good point.

Do you believe you will get Element and Fortier for gifts.?They will both cost players, and after gettingLavoie, Mercer and the rest of the dream, teams do not trade for less value, no first, second draft choices,and a lot of your younger prospects are gone. What are you expecting Element to bring back ?

So trade block players: Mercer Fortier Lavoie Groulx Legaré Simoneau Element Paré (vic)
MacIsaac Dobson X Bouchard Bolduc
Feel free to list them . Maybe even put guessed values for them at trade deadline. Ex. 2-1st and a 2nd..
Can someone name others?

Pare from Victoriaville could be an interesting option.

Karl Boudrias could be available..although I'm starting to wonder if Val'Dor will be small buyers hoping to finish 2nd in the west and win a couple rounds. Their defense & goaltending is pretty respectable.
For the most part I don't see a need to really trade Huntley at this point for an upgrade. Would rather save the extra draft pick or prospect that they'd have to use to upgrade on him to move in another deal for depth. Add a high end d-man and a solid #5 to play with Stewart on the bottom pairing and the D should be ok.

Isnât it De Jong playing third pair and Stewart playing with Andersson?

found it.. i had posted it on cape breton board
I agree that Cape Breton to me needs two top 4-5 D and a top 9 forward to really make a legit push..... upgrading one spot with a 20 seems like a no brainer... but Moncton can also upgrade on a 20 pretty easily.. especially if they do land Dobson or even MacIsaac.... Huntley is pretty marginal as is... keeping a 5-6 guy as a 20 if you have Dobson/Macisaac-Spence-Andersson already seems foolish to me..... grab a shutdown guy (Clavelle type) or top 6-9 forward (Skubel/Deakin-Poot/Robidoux/Grouchy).... makes sense if i'm Torchetti

Also i know this has been beat like a dead horse...but Aspirot is still a slight possibility as he is the youngest on his team...ao the Cats will wait on him 1st and foremost

The one time in my life I hope Irving meddles and forces the all in chip on Torchetti đ. The only problem with your roster is that you havent subtracted...ANYTHING.... Futures.... No way they deal Pelletier or L'Heureux off their roster this year. They would presumably lose them at end of season. Use draft picks as placeholders until the off season. Draft picks and futures would be the way to go.

I hope so...though i think you need to send a player NOW to some teams.

I also donât necessarily think theyâll trade Desnoyers or Lavallee right away either, Lavallee being more likely to be traded right away though. I think they may be futures too.

I wonder how the staff feel about selling off and having nothing left now that Bathurst has been struggling so much for 1.5yrs now...
