Why spend a 3rd on a 20 year old this season? Our division will be tough and so we may not win many games this year, and we may get beat up pretty bad at home some nights. Irving knows that the box office is directly related to team strength, and so he wants to add some punch to the lineup. I think it is a business decision more than a hockey decision. I wish it wasn't a 3rd but I understand the need. Perhaps we can turn a profit if he has a strong first half.

Likely the same reason we didn’t trade Daoust at the deadline last year and at least get something for him. You need to have some veteran presence in your lineup to help the young guys.

I agree with the above thoughts . We are lacking in veteran leadership and natural goal scoring talent . We do not have a replacement for Hudson . He fills a real need at this time .

Should we be concerned that Taibel had 0 points in the first 5 games?

Way too early to be writing off a 17 YO Euro adjusting to the league. Exactly and I’m not saying taibel=Meier but I don’t think he tore up the league instantly when he came to halifax.

1 pt in 4 games so far for D'aoust. Is there a deadline when Belville has to make a decision by since he's not signed?

I'm sure SJ could use him, maybe for a 1st and Grenier? I’m not sure I see a fit with SJ right at the moment. I think they’re going to wait and see what happens with Francis before they make any moves.. unless they want to move on from Inniss.

At this point they need multiple adds to justify the MC spot, Daoust would make a much bigger impact, they are weak at C.
