Hackett, Sampson, Lyons, Sarrasin released … likely close to final roster? It seems like the forwards are set - they haven’t announced Matthews being cut but he has not played recently to my knowledge so he must be out. At least one more 20 year old will be cut on D and it will depend whether they want to keep 7 or 8. I could see Marcil being cut too if they plan to only keep 7. Matthews is still around. |

Weird to trade for Lyons just to cut him 2 days later. Not really - just a minor deal, two teams shuffling localish affiliates … |

They might keep him until his Jr.A season starts just as some players are at NHL camps. |

Goalies(2)
Filion
Steinman
Defense(9)
Ballantyne
Fortier-Gendron
Grenier
Marcil
Darcy
Hamel or Olson(20)
Iasenza
Morin
Forwards(14)
Auger

Beaudoin
Daniel
Labelle
Loshing
Mercier
Mueller

My guess is Marcil Olson and Matthews get cut eventually.
Personally I would cut Fortier-Gendron and let him play big minutes until midseason.

That means there could be 1-2 more cuts depending on how those 2 files shake out. |

Not lineup related, but Eric Labrosse is the new 2nd assistant coach. |

No Cornforth. Another disappointment.

Its disappointing but I have no issue with them taking a guy like Cornforth in the 6th round. It seems to me he genuinely did have interest in playing here. This team has shown they can get some gems in the later rounds (Daniel, Auger, Darcy etc) and that allows them to take some risks.
I only take issue with using earlier picks like Hopkins, Rozzi etc. Anything in the first few rounds should be a sure bet to report.

Plus, who knows, maybe he said "I'm going to go to the USHL this season but maybe I'll come to Moncton next year" |

It's all about where you draft the players. Top 3-4 should be guys that will report. Having comp picks in the top 2 rounds can offset some of the mix, but it hurts if you are starting a rebuild. Hopkins would be a big piece on D already. Rozzi as well up front. |
