I agree i think Gordies plan is great i just wonder if Laberge should be shopped after the 24-25 season. i guess we will have to see what truly happens at the draft. If we get another first and send a 2026 first back i hope we can work on getting into the top 5 maybe even the top 3 if Valdor wants to pick 2 and possibly pick 9 and 18 not sure what else it would to get the 3rd overall pick. i think cracking the top 5 is a good idea especially with the amount of draft capital we have over the next two seasons. Buteau and Gendron would be huge adds i dont know if Gendron will end up playing here but he will get every oppurtunity on this team to be a PPG player or more and possibly get a higher return at the deadline. Buteau will be here to stay i feel and i cant wait to see him on the blue line. yeah time will tell what the true plan is, I think Laberge will be pretty dominant at 19/20 and maybe even NHL drafted or at least signed/invited. I think getting into the top 5 is probably on their radar but at the same time if we pick 3 times in the 1st round already I think I'd rather have 3-4 guys then 1 or 2. Buteau should be fun to watch, big defenseman coming off a career year and has some offensive flare here and there, perfect partner for Laberge. I really hope they add a right shot D-man though. I agree on Gendron, move him if the value is there but otherwise keep him and could potentially move him at the deadline for even more value. He had a strong playoff and playing 1st line minutes with us he could take that next step. For sure it will depend what place the other first rd pick is im assuming its in the middle i cant see it being top 10 |

This draft is a weird one for sure with the Likes of Rozzi, Chartrand, Desganias and lawrence all uncertain if they will report to the Q making it not worth moving up.

I think that it makes sense for Bathurst to try to get their hands on a top 5 pick if they can. It could be the difference between having to grab from the 2nd tier and getting someone like Plouffe/Litalien/Yared/Cossette-Ayotte. |

it'll be interesting to see what they will actually do, having 5 picks in the first 2 rounds (assuming rumors are true for futures) Gordie can get a little bit crafty here. I would still like them to at least keep 3 or 4 picks in the top 2 rounds in total though, getting 3-4 players to build around is sometimes better than just 2.
Tough to tell as well for the goalie situation, does Keller return? If not do they run with Fleming or go after a stronger OA goalie? Do they draft a goalie high?
What do they do down the middle? St-Onge and Belanger aren't enough, but paying high for a bonafide #1 center is tough to acquire as well.
lots of questions surrounding this team.

Yea there are still some good ones for sure even lygystikos would be good but the top 5 wont be cheap |

Yes for sure, but overall exciting times as Dwyer works to navigate this rebuild. It seems as though the rumors of Gendron heading to Bathurst have been squashed by the Victo GM, it may be just smoke, who knows. |

I mean if true it's whatever either way considering we still have all the picks from them. |

To be fair, GMs often say shit like that at this time of the year. |

Reading the past 2 months of posts is confusing. Posters are talking about players mentioned in RUMOURS and because it was repeated 4 or 5 times, it seems to have become fact.
Posters also acknowledge picks going back for the futures but keep posting about all the picks the Titan have. Honestly, I don't think anyone posting here has any idea what picks the Titan actually have at their disposal after the futures are moved. And the picks going back in these types of trades have often nothing to do equal value. So some of 1st round picks might be returned for journeymen players.
I'm looking forward to the draft with excitement. But I have no preconceptions. The settling of accounts between teams will be something to behold and teams' GMs have held their cards close to their vests which never happened in the past.

All speculation for sure you just have to know whos talking alot of guys on here have decent crediblity. I think this draft will be huge for the team regardless what happens. i dont think a first will go back to get a journeyman back though Victo woulda kept those firsts for other players and payed us what that Journeyman was worth which would be like 4th |
