The future looks bright but I still hope we finish bottom 5 to get a shot at Alexis Joseph. Joseph isn't eligible until next year. Top 5 targets could be Tynan Lawrence and Aiden O'Donnell.

I meant bottom 5 next year sorry.
3 takes from today's game Robinson is our goalie for the future For a big guy Mann plays really small. Peddle looked good

I only got to watch game online and looked like some miscommunication on who had who. I would agree Robinson is the goalie of the future. The save he made on the giveaway behind the net was unreal. Hard to comment on much with the quality of the online feed. You miss lots of things plus feed was not working in second period.

Robinson's stats today wouldn't look good to someone that didn't see the game, but he was the only reason the game remained close for as long as it did.

One interesting thing is that we seem to have about 7 unused protected spots, so not only could we add to the roster (we have 14 FW, 7D (if Duhamel is up) and 2 G) but the team could also contact any 17s that we might have interest in bringing into camp next year and offer to make them APs now.

How does all that work? I thought the roster number was 24 or 25. We would have 23 used now with Duhamel and is Richards with the team as well? How many 16yr can you have on a roster? We now have 4 when Groulx arrives. I think the team has done a good job getting younger and not selling the farm this year.

We now have 4 when Groulx arrives. I think the team has done a good job getting younger and not selling the farm this year. We are allowed 4 16s without special permission. Groulx and Duhamel were both listed on yesterday's scorer's sheet as roster players (Richard was not on it). There is no reason for Groulx to go back to midget, given that he was tied for the highest PPG in the league going into yesterday's games (with 1st rounder Loranger, who is likely headed south). SJ can still add another FW and another D if they want (25 is the maximum), but we can also sign guys as AP (leaving them in lower leagues, but allowing them to be called up). This could be useful for 17 year-olds that we are interested in bringing to camp as a means of getting them on our list. That being said, it is uncommon to add more than a couple of guys this way, no matter what. Also keep in mind that Richard could still be added, he just wasn't as of yesterday's game. Final roster is due by Wednesday at noon Eastern if memory serves correct.

Thanks I don’t know all the ins and outs of the league. Looking forward to seeing Groulx. To early to get a read on Duhamel but was watching the last two games online which is hard to see much from our online feed.

Here's a quick and dirty look at next year: (Note: I am probably missing guys and the OA situation is murky. Also note: I am assuming that the Dogs keep both imports until at least Christmas in this scenario)
Simek - Peddle - Mateiko Miller - Groulx - Beveridge Reynolds - 1st rounder - OA Calder - Beaulieu - 1st or 2nd rounder Beaudoin
Bilodeau - Mann Tivey - Amyot Richard - Duhamel MacLean 1st or 2nd rounder
Robinson ?

Labbe will be our backup next year Quebec goalie of the month in midget 4th rd pick only 16. I think one of the euros will be traded at the draft and we draft a new euro as our pick could be top 10.

Labbe might go the US route. Duhamel and Richard appear to have been called up and Groulx appears to be here as well.

According to the TJ, the Dogs will be adding Olivier Duhamel and Olivier Groulx to their roster for the second half.

Deadline day for the roster
We could do something simple like keep the 14 forwards listed (including Groulx), call up Richard and Duhamel and call that a roster.
Management could try to find a free agent or two to bring in to add a little bit of depth (there are a couple of bottom of roster guys who could play Jr A)
Management could sign someone in the region as an AP to get a head start on training camp invites.

If in a rebuild I am all for getting 16/17 in games to see how they do. If you look at the roster it looks like they could build around the 07 group with 4 second round picks on the team. I would look to move an older forward out if you want to give the younger guys a shot.

Right now, Groulx and Beveridge are likely in our top 9 and Amyot and Duhamel are either the 3rd pair together or we play 7D and there's a third person being rotated in.
