With a month to go until the trade deadline, thought this topic might be interesting. Only players I see that will interest other teams and get a very good return are Kidney and Melanson. I can't see any other player 19 or 20 YO bringing in a good return. Sly drained the draft pick bank on that ill-fated run of last year that frizzled out early and then bailed knowing he emptied the cupboards. Next July, no draft picks until the 3rd round and nothing in 2024 until the 5th round. Truly 2 ugly draft years in a row. Any trade to a contender for a first round pick better be for a first rounder that the contender picked up from a team that will finish near the bottom. Contenders finish high in the standings meaning their picks are late round pick. That's the dilemma I see.

Well great topic. Think Kidney and Melanson are for sure gone at Xmas. Both should get some first rounds back and a couple of good players. It will quicken the rebuild and keep the team competive a lot faster. Only likely 4 teams are interested.
Halifax
QC City
Sherbrooke
Gatineau
Don’t see anyone else coming forward to make a run. Thought Blaneville might but losing Guay and others hurt them badly. Question is who and what will they trade for 2 players likely gone from the league next year to play next level??

Rumours on other Maritime boards are that the Titan are trying to package Kidney and Melanson in one trade. To me, it would result in the team get less in return than if they were traded separately. I hope the team considers both options and gets whatever option brings in the best compensation.

I hope the team considers both options and gets whatever option brings in the best compensation. the biggest issue with trading them together is most teams that are looking for Kidney dont need another 20. I think they will need to break them up unless you see a team like Drumondville looking to get him but that really doesnt line up in my eyes. |

Melanson is 19 Sorry for some reason I was thinking Allison. That kind of trade would take so much for the Halifax. It would require a lot of futures and Cam isnt a guy that usually includes futures. Tell me again why you guys went all in last year? You could have had a really good team this year to make a run. |

Maybe he thought he would go out with a bang before he bolted. |

Maybe he thought he would go out with a bang before he bolted. Sly was asked about the way he traded while in Bathurst at a town hall meeting here in Cape Breton and he said alot of the reasoning behind how he traded in Bathurst was based on what the reality of the market was in Bathurst. Said he believes more in a drafting and developing approach than making a bunch of trades. |

I hope the team considers both options and gets whatever option brings in the best compensation. The only team that makes the most sense to me to trade both to and get enough back is Gatineau. They have picks + good futures like Savoie, Verreault, Luneau, or Warren. If we were to get multiple picks plus 1 or 2 of those guys, we could have a pretty solid trade return. Getting the highest return possible for both guys is key. If you look at other similar big name players that got traded the return is usually 4 really good assets so we could expect something similar. |

If it were Halifax that both would end up then we'd likely get picks + a future like Vidicek, Cataford, or Furlong. MacKinnon, Crosby, or Peitzsche would be good pick ups as well. But I think Gatineau likely has them beat in terms of offer value tbh.

The correct answer is Sherbrooke  |

The correct answer is Sherbrooke Who would we acquire from them that would beat Gatineau or Halifax? I can't see Gauthier being apart of the deal considering he's still only 17, (but then again L'Heureux went in the Moncton/Halifax trade for McIsaac + Groulx). Justin Gill as an OA next year is another decent addition but unless we get Gauthier + picks I think Gatineau and Halifax has better offers. They also don't really have any notable high-end prospects. |

I mean if that does come to fruition that would be huge, Plus Sherbrooke likely falls off next year so getting a high 1st, Gauthier, and more picks could be something.... |
