Trade away Lavallee for a 3rd and a 4th and add an older, worse goaltender in his place? Huh? On the surface this looks terrible. Heard at the rink last night that RKI did not like Lavallée. Take it for what it's worth. They were not happy with his conditioning last year, that's why he sat for 5 weeks. This year he started out strong then had a few games where he lost focus on some goals. They likely felt he wasn't going to become a stud in the Q. Funny that once he was traded he reeled off 2 straight shutouts. Looking at the assets they got, it wasn't a case of too big an offer to refuse. |

So every team is MAXING out on assets getting crazy prices and we are actually getting worse. How do you trade a 17 year old 3rd round draft pick goalie with an almost 92%sv and 3 shutouts for the same round draft pick he was taken in a year ago, and a later round draft pick then select a worse goalie to back up Rodrigue?  Didn’t we add Anderson MacDonald at 17 for double what he was drafted for and a top defence man prospect?..... players values are suppose to increase from their draft position not get worse... This organization is a bloody joke at asset management. If we do in fact have Groulx and MacIsaac they probably gave up L’Heureux, Desnoyers, 1st in 2021 and 2022 and Pelletier and Spence at the draft the way they execute deals Just an embarrassment to the start of our “go for it” year trade period.... Everyone else making out like kings, 20 yr olds who cost 3rs round picks getting two firsts etc I agree with pretty much everything you said. However, DLC is likely a better goalie than Lavallee RIGHT NOW, his stats won't show it because he was on a poor team and Lavallee was on a Top 10 team in the country... |

I don’t think anyone is arguing the decision to trade Lavallee, the rationale behind the trade makes sense. It’s the return we got that’s the issue especially after he had 2 strong games at home this weekend. |

They aren’t gonna go back be like “hey we want more because he just posted back to back shutouts” |

Here's a deal I would have been much happier with. Swap out Lapenna with Lavallee and the Cats have multiple 2nd rounders to use and they could have had Thomas Pelletier. I would have been very happy with that return especially since I think they need another dman and Pelletier is 18.
Drummondville may have really wanted Lapenna specifically but seeing that type of value is frustrating for what should be a similar asset.

Also how many of those second rounders are tied up in the Halifax deal?
