From the roster above, I would do the following:
-Have Hughes play Junior A this year and get a ton of developmental ice time and have him called up as needed.
-Look into the trade market for a 20-year-old Dman. It will come down to Gould or that if there is a good option available. I'm a fan of Gould, but if Scechkov comes, spots up front are very limited.
- Keep talking with Richard's family about reporting. With the shit going on in the USA right now, the Q has to be looking like a better and better option by the day. Even if he will come and wants to go to a team in Quebec, I'm sure something could be worked out where we gain some valuable assets.

Even if he will come and wants to go to a team in Quebec, I'm sure something could be worked out where we gain some valuable assets. I don't think there is much room or need for a 20 year old defenseman at this point. I'd see how the season goes before making that move, assuming there will be a midseason trade period at some point. But if they were to acquire a 20 year old defenseman, Gould would be the last of the three 20s I'd let go. I'd let the goalie go first and look for a 19 year old with similar numbers which likely wouldn't be that hard. Out of the forwards, I'd let MacDonald go before Gould but would rather keep both. For now I'm fine with the 3 they have. Will see what the goalie can do. Might look to upgrade him. Or if Patenaude takes over as the clear #1, that would be fine too. A 20 year old backup would be unusual but there doesn't appear to be room for a another 20 year old anywhere else. |

Let him play at the higher pace on a team that needs him in their top 12. We don't have a spot for an oa d. Right now, we have 6 guys that are 18 or 19. Otoh, if Cliche is willing to be 7th D, I commit to him instantly. I'd prefer that spot to be used to develop a d for the future (not named Drapeau, since another year in midget would allow him to grow even more). Richard is definitely someone we will talk to until there is no other option. It would force a reshuffle but that is life. We are now at a point where 16s are highly unlikely to make the team (unless they are guys like Carruthers). |

If no Svechkov, I'd hope for a lineup of:
Burns - Roy - MacDonald
Girouard - Reynolds - Lawrence
Stairs/Savoie - MacDonald - Drover/Stairs
Carruthers - Savoie/Drover - Gould
Mccluskey
Poirier - Inniss
Hampl - Villeneuve
McCallum - Desroches
Cliche/Kakouras/Trottier/7th best D
Pagliarulo
Patenaude

I assume McCallum gets bumped out. |

Great problem to have but what do they do if Cliche and Richard both decide to report because of the Covid issues in the States? I assume McCallum gets bumped out. Or possibly Hampl Svechkov better report. Otherwise we shouldnt have traded away a PPG+ guy in Cajkovic for mid round draft pick garbage. That or we should have drafted a different high end 17 year old import forward that actually would give a commit to report in advance. Everyone argued that TG made a great move trading away Cajkovic because it would let him draft a high end younger import that would be here 2-3 years for our run(s) and we wouldn't have to worry about finding a new import the following year. If Svechkov doesn't show up we still dont have that 2-3 year guy everyone wanted....and we don't have that final year of Cajkovic...and we still need to find a replacement in the next import draft for that high end forward slot. Don't get me wrong here...TG has made far more positive moves than negative ones...but if Svechkov doesnt show up then TG definitely mishandled this one. If he does show up though I like the move. |

Why do you think Scechkov won’t report? Seeing as you devoted 90% of your post to that idea, is this about what you feel the chances are that he doesn’t report? |

I meant the one that starts "if no Svechkov" and then presents a lineup without him. Heard rumors there was no commit to report when we picked him. Also that he is under contract in Russia. Eliteprospects also says he is signed by a Russian team for next season. All signs he might possibly not show up here. Hopefully he does though. Otherwise....see previous post.  |

To be fair, there are only about 20-30 imports that are confirmed for next year in total. |

So it's looking like the entire season will be played within the Maritimes whether it's a 60 game season starting October 1st or a shortened season starting later. With most other teams in the division in varying stages of rebuild, the Sea Dogs could end up with an extremely good record if things go as well as many are predicting. Wouldn't surprise me to see some franchise records broken, both team and individual. Of course, a shortened season will keep a lot of records safe.
We won't know how we match up against any Quebec based teams until the playoffs which could make things exciting come playoff time. We might have home ice the whole way through but not know that we necessarily have the best team.

I don't think 34 is a hard number to hit for SJ.
In nets, I would have 3 guys with Pags and D'Orazio being locks. If Patenaude is available, he's in camp and there are no open spots this year. If not, bring in Savoie to compete for backup.
On D, I bring 12. Villeneuve, Poirier, Desroches, McCallum, Inniss, Hampl, Sibley, Drapeau are all locks. From there,I see who is willing to come of Richard, Ramsay, Cliche, Furey, Miranda. Depending on their answers I invite Gartley, Spadafore, Mccluskey, Gallant/Kakouras (hope I didn't forget anyone).
Up front, that leaves 19. 11 are locks: Roy, Burns, Reynolds, C MacDonald, Lawrence, Stairs, Girouard, Carruthers, Drover, Gould, Savoie. Anderson MacDonald, Carter Mccluskey and Simon Hughes will be invited. Then we see who comes of Svechkov, MacDonald, Jenkins, Patella, Taddia, Callow. The last fwds if guys say no is the hardest call but again I think that establishing a defendable criterion would make the process feasible.
Otoh, I do not envy a team like Moncton that would otherwise invite 65.

Someone pointed out to me something that should have been obvious. With the 2 week quarantine, don't be surprised if that means no Badalamenti Spadafore Americans. We'll probably be Atlantic heavy.
