Why in the hell would they trade Desgroilliers for a draft pick and keep Jacob Stewart?

Why in the hell would they trade Desgroilliers for a draft pick and keep Jacob Stewart? Well other than the fact that it’s possible desgro wanted to finish his career closer to home, they aren’t going to have 2 20s on D in a rebuilding season |

Why in the hell would they trade Desgroilliers for a draft pick and keep Jacob Stewart? I think this one of those trades where you can't really think of the players as assets. Desgroillers likely wanted a different home, and Bathurst had an extra 20 after trading for Lafrance and had limited options for him, and Moncton accommodated. Bellamy seems like a guy who will end up playing AUS next season. The assets involved aren't astronomical by any means here, mid round picks 2-3 years away. |

So far in the last 6 months they have spent 2 3rds and a 4th and gotten a 6th back for OA's...in a rebuilding year. |

Pretty sure they could have found another cheap OA close to the deadline. in junior 3rd and 4th round picks are often good mid lineup guys that you don't have to trade other assets for...Iasenza Hudson Crossman Aspirot Holwell S.Johnson were all 3rd and 4th round picks the last 10 years. |

Yea but maybe in June it wasn’t an issue but with all the restrictions coming in etc maybe that’s what changed everything |

Who are your core pieces going forward under 18? Morin? Loshing? Auger? Iasenza? Filion? The rest are question marks or depth guys, they need high picks and/or top young guys. |

So far in the last 6 months they have spent 2 3rds and a 4th and gotten a 6th back for OA's...in a rebuilding year. Sometimes in life situations change. I really can't imagine spending much energy stressing about a 4th round pick in 2024, who would be a possibly contributing player in 2026-2027. Perhaps it's because the cats lost out on what could have been the greatest season of their history due to the pandemic, but the energy just isn't there. The team has been performing extremely well to date, if they want to make a minor move on the back end to replace what they lost, but still get some better assets for 2-3 veteran players I can live with that. But I'll wait for the trade period to play out before saying this minor move will force then to rebuild till 2030. I'll save my concern for if they start buying 19 year old for early picks in the next 2 drafts. |

This should be a good guide to what Olson and Hamel are worth?

This should be a good guide to what Olson and Hamel are worth? Do you think they're both worth a 2nd and 5th? Or a 2nd and 5th between the two of them? |

Gauthier doesn't seem to be the calibre of player you trade futures for - have you heard something specific to suggest futures may be involved in this one, or are you just speculating? |

Just speculation based on it being a 2024 pick. |
