Interesting. In 2008, Dominic Ricard (Volts former GM) drafted Sylvain Couturier's son Sean. And 15 years later, Sylvain Couturier drafts Dominic Ricard's son Emile.

Wonder who the candidates will be for head coach? I’m sure some names will be popping up in the near future

Is Zach Wheeler choosing an alternate route than the Q. He played for the respected Moncton Flyers, had 60 points in 34 games with only 6pim. He had a good telus cup tournament. The Eagles passed on him, Chandler and Conrad at 12th. Then they had a shot at him at 24th and passed on him again.

After our 1st pick I was curious enough to check the CSR and Puckpreps rankings for these 3 players.
Cole Chandler (CSR 7th, PP 20th)
Owen Conrad (CSR 10th, PP 8th)
and then
Emile Ricard (CSR 19th, PP 41st)
Not really reassuring, I have to say.

Pilling is an interesting pick. PuckPreps likes him a bit too much for my liking but there is no denying a very smart player offensively, going to need to work on his skating to be an impact player by 18/19.

Great value with Will Murphy. I think he could actually step into your lineup next season if needed. Big kid that actually wouldn't mind see going to play Jr. A in Summerside for a year (Zach Biggar), I think he returned to U18 hockey, being as strong as he is would allow him to cheat the game slightly.

They go with Emile Ricard out of Quebec ...........Pass on the 2 New Nova Scotian Kids . Didn't see this coming honestly . I'm guessing they both told the Eagles that they wouldn't report.

The @cbehockey fired head coach Jon Goyens just before the @lhjmq draft. According to what I hear on the spot, they asked to speak to Louis Robitaille, recently fired as GM / coach of the @olympiquesgat
