L'Heureux out indefinitely? Tough news.
Hopefully they didn't get Huard because L'Heureux is gonna be out long term. Don't like the word "indefinitely".

So L'Heureux won't be in the lineup, but we got a LW to take his spot in the lineup I suppose. Excited to see what Huard can do, he's been on an upward trend over his Junior years. Definitely don't mind the trade for a 6th and a 14th. Yah at first I was happy with the trade, as Huard looks like he'll be a nice add to the forward depth. But now I'm wondering if the trade was made because L'Heureux will be out long term. I know "upper body injury" and "indefinitely" usually just means concussion, and he could be out a week. But it makes me a bit concerned both were announced at the same time. Edit: Howitzer beat me to it.

Oh wow! Great pick up! Guy had almost 50pts with Sherbrooke last season. And we got him for almost nothing. Great job Cam. đź‘Ź
Going to be a pretty tight team in terms of playing time. Going to be interesting how the minutes scramble around this season. We got someone who can possibly produce at the same level as Bobby Orr and for cheaper, though it might be early to make that assumption.
EDIT: Didn’t realize Zachary L’Heureux was going to be out long-term.
OPENING LINEUP PREDICTION Boucher | Vidicek | Crosby Huard | Cataford | Biasca Peitzsche | Swan | Fournier MacPhee | Todd | Welsh
Furlong | MacKinnon Whynot | Phillips Moravec | Schultz

SCRATCHES L’Heureux (out indefinitely upper body) Dumais (CBJ Preseason) Martin (next weekend)

Wow. Halifax just announced their captaincy for the 2023 Season
C: Attilio Biasca A: Zachary L’Heureux A: Markus Vidicek A: Jordan Dumais
I honestly thought Biasca was an underdog choice for an assistant captain spot, I guess it isn’t super surprising, he’s going to captain Switzerland for the 2023 World Juniors in Moncton. The fact that Dumais, L’Heureux, and Vidicek might all be playing on the same line and all being assistant captains should be pretty interesting. I wish we could’ve had that veteran piece that we usually have every year that’s played from us from the beginning but we don’t really have that this year, everyone from the 2018-19 team is gone and the only 2019-20 piece left is Cam Whynot. I did love Biasca’s speech in the locker room, he’s a very fun and happy figure in the room. Looking forward to a interesting year!

Thought it was strange that L'Heureux, as a 19 year old going to his second NHL camp, was sent back so early. But knowing now that he was injured, it makes more sense.
Also, who had Biasca picked as the Captain?

Also, who had Biasca picked as the Captain? I actually had a suspicions. 3rd year player, most international experience on the club, seems to be well liked and have a good personality. I like the choice. Not just giving the C to our best player.

Just checking out Stephane Huard's stats. I thought it was strange that he played 6 games for the Humboldt Broncos during his Q career. Was that a Covid thing or was he sent down by Blainville and decided to go to Humboldt. Then the same season he started playing for Sherbrooke so he was traded. www.eliteprospects.com/player/290165/stephane-huard

It wouldn't surprise me that they saw a skilled guy like Huard who was struggling to maintain minutes in the Q and offered him a deal to come out west. Who knows why it didn't work out in the end, maybe he was homesick, and was able to arrange a deal with a team that would give him more ice time closer to home.

I wish that I did not hear that rumour about it around a cold beer, but it looks like L’Heureux is out for around 2 months and might need a surgery. Everything makes sense now. But I am not happy if this true. So L'Heureux won't be in the lineup, but we got a LW to take his spot in the lineup I suppose. Excited to see what Huard can do, he's been on an upward trend over his Junior years. Definitely don't mind the trade for a 6th and a 14th.

6-8 weeks for L'Heureux. Not unexpected but pretty unfortunate. Back just in time to go to a world junior tryout?

So how many games will he be actually playing for the Mooseheads with a potential trade at the Christmas trade period? Hopefully the injury doesn't hurt his value. But then again, maybe the Mooseheads will keep him for his "experience" to help the younger players.

Him playing with Halifax will be like getting a big name at the deadline for a run. This team will have home ice for the first 2 rounds at least of the playoffs too. Cam isn’t going to trade away a player who is a top 10 in the league. I shouldn’t say Cam won’t, it’s more like Bobby won’t let Cam trade a player like him away.
