interesting, I would've thought Shawinigan would've been fine with keeping him. I know he's had a slow go in Halifax so far but he could get more ice time with us and hopefully bounces back in a change of scenery. 

Wonder if the Titan go into next season with Ponzetto + Keller, seems unlikely but we will see.

St-Onge had a strong start in the game vs Drummondville, he could be a darkhorse piece.

Reynolds has a lot of hype around him from what I'm hearing/seeing from others in Bathurst, should be fun to watch and has the most potential out of all the new guys.

Macgillivray is said to be an offensive first type of D-man, not saying he will be anything close to Higgins but with some more ice-time and opportunity maybe he can be better than he was in Gatineau.

Ponzetto is interesting for sure as he struggled with Halifax, hopefully he can turn it around for us.

Robichaud is a work in progress, hasn't looked bad but hasn't done anything spectacular either. Had a strong pre-season for us and almost made the team out of camp he will be fun to monitor.

overall, after the deals for our big 3, this team can still be somewhat competitive in the 2nd half and hopefully some lesser guys can continue to develop. Should be fun.

Cosman has signed with Fredericton in Jr. A, he had a decent start with us but Mburanumwe outplayed him in every aspect so sadly no room for him. Hope he does well in Jrs.

7 players out and 5 in? Is that count right. Too lazy to look it up

Edit 1: 6 in with Sharkey

Edit 2:  one 16 YO,  three 17YO and two 18YO. Team got younger.

Edit 3:  4 Dmen and 3 Forwards out; 3 Dmen and 3 Forwards in

it's a shame he regressed so heavily this year, 22 points in 62 games last year to just 1 point in 33 games this year. I know he was demoted to the 4th line but still couldn't get much of anything going. Had a strong pre-season too.

Hope he has a good time in Jr. A

I wonder if the team helped set this up.

it's very possible. I think he's the type of player that could do very well in Jr. A as well.

I wonder what will happen with our 2026 first rd picks gotta think the team has its key players in place after the 2025 draft probably just capital to aqquire more peices when we contend but id like to see them sneak into the 1st rds of 2024-25 drafts with them.

I assume not all of the 2026 picks still stick around past this year's draft either, probably some players coming in from the deals made at the deadline and picks being sent back

Hmmm maybe but i cant see who we would get back from rouyn or victo that we wouldnt get a 20 back that wouldnt make sense and larose or daigle would just be to much. i guess there is others for sure but i wonder who 

[jordo999]

that's where I find it hard too is Rouyn is still looking to compete next year as well. And most of Victoriaville's good pieces are 18 turning 19, the only one I'd really want a 1st for is Larose but he's arguably their biggest trade chip next year so it seems unlikely. Daigle is also 99% not moving. If Daigle is involved I would be happy but it would take a lot more then the 2026 1st going back lol.

then again Moncton sent L'Heureux and Desnoyers to Halifax as futures but I think those circumstances were different plus Henneberry is no Groulx + MacIsaac.

the Victoriaville trade is the only one likely not finished but besides Larose/Daigle the only player that might make sense is PO Roy as an OA but even then him straight up for the 2026 1st back doesn't seem good enough IMO. While Roy could be a top D-man next season the Titan aren't exactly contending so unless they decide to flip him then I'm not sure that happens. That pick is likely a potential lottery pick as well so has to be worth it.

I think the Rouyn 2026 1st likely stays with us. It's normal value for a good D-man who's returning next year as well.

not to mention Rouyn will have Zonnon at 19 who they will probably move for a boatload in the future.

Hennebrry back in town tonight he has 2pts in two games for victo so far. Hopefully Ponzetto does better with us than he did Halifax, I hope Reynolds fits in well and grows into a very good Dman as i think he has the chance to
