The import draft is now 2 weeks away.
Some names that could potentially be available for the Dogs include Benak, Mrtka (D), Cihar, Cherenko, Dravecky (D), Nemec although the import draft isn't much of a draft and teams contact a lot of people to see who would report.
My hope is that SJ can get Benak.

If the Dogs move Mateiko will they be getting another Euro back? Let’s say there is a Moncton deal going to happen. What do they do with Simek? I assume we target so high end forwards

I assume we target so high end forwards When Mateiko is NHL drafted, SJ is allowed to draft an import for his slot. SJ does not have the ability to replace Simek without releasing him. Trading Mateiko gives him a chance to go to a contender while helping SJ. I don't see the same scenario happening with Simek, so I see Simek and a new import here (unless Mateiko is untraded as of camp). One important thing to remember is that SJ is planning around the 08s and are likely to have a decent import pick next year, so it makes sense to use the pick this year on an 07 then use next year's on an 08 (and hopefully not be drafting two imports in the same year for a while). |

I assume we target so high end forwards I think Rimouski will get Gauthier from DRU once that happens I feel Moncton will try and add Mateiko. I don't know if Moncton has two euros if so I'm sure one will go back in the trade. Or if any team has two euro's assuming Mateiko is traded this season. |

Moncton is planning on drafting two imports (at least that's what their posters have suggested). Zielinski was traded to CB and Glas is eligible to return, but put up 9 points in 52 games while struggling to gain any kind of place in the lineup (and was scratched 3 of 4 playoff games). Moncton picks 37 and should be able to get a decent player at that spot. The question becomes whether they want to risk drafting twice and hoping that both players integrate seamlessly. |

Relying on 2 euros you are gonna draft seems risky in an all in year they could run it until Christmas and if it doesn't work hope Mateiko is still available at the deadline |

Another option is to make a deal with Saint John after the draft ended, draft 2 imports (using one of the picks on someone like Ryabkin) so that they can basically run with Mateiko and the better of the 2 imports (since they wouldn't be out the import slot). Given that SJ and Moncton were reasonably close on terms, a deal could be made at any point (but there could also be no deal). We don't and won't know until August 1st. |

Good luck to Egan Beveridge, who is headed to Selects camp next week (Jun 25 start date) to play for New England (grey). The U17 Selects are tryouts for their Hlinka Gretzky team.
Also good luck to Janulius and Krayer who will be attending U16 camp for the 5 nations which begins in July (https://x.com/islandershc/status/1660830775439138816). No word on the other kids we drafted yet.

While other teams are starting to add their free agent invites to their rosters, Saint John doesn't even have all their draft picks on theirs (Morin is missing)

I am sure SJ has a few invites from Ontario coming as it seems the team likes to see if they can find a gem! What will we they target?

SJ needs an invite or two in net (may have as little as 3 of the 5 protected goalies in camp) D is absolutely stacked. Betweeen the 3 OA, Bilodeau, Amyot, MacLean, Richard, and Duhamel, we also have a bunch of D on our protected list. That isn't to say that an invite couldn't push his way in, but it might be more difficult there than at the other two spots. Up front, I could see some real opportunities. The way I look at our forward corps, there will be 2 imports, likely an OA, Beveridge, Miller, Peddle, Yared, Groulx, Rozzi and Reynolds that should lock into spots. After that, what happens depends on who comes and how guys perform. For example, Beaulieu has played 2 seasons, but as an 18 year-old, he needs to be better than an 18 year-old invite to make sense here (because the invite would have more room for growth in that hypothetical situation). By the same token, Alexis Beaudoin plays a very similar game but is a year younger and has 2 years less of QMJHL experience, so he might be a better option. |

The goaltender that was at camp last year from Ontario looked good to me last year. Could he be back? I would be open to seeing an OA player for a spot.
For D I am excited to see how the younger players step up this year. Amyot and Duhamel. I think Richard might be better in Jr A. Maclean was starting to stand out to me towards the end. Being physical and I think he might have a chance. I really like Bilodeau and would love to see him back next season.
I love your thoughts for up front. I think Miller could be strong up front this season. Peddle was really standing out at the end of last season. Would love to see an OA up front. I am not sure in Beaulieu. 10 years ago I think he would have a spot. But with not much rough stuff anymore I really don't see the need and with us going with a younger team I think someone like Beaudoin might be a better fit.

But with not much rough stuff anymore I really don't see the need and with us going with a younger team I think someone like Beaudoin might be a better fit. Monaco was dropped from the protected list, so I don't think he will be back. Getting another 18 yo from Ontario who could be a Monaco-like invite would work well. In terms of an overager, that depends on what they think of Robinson. If they want to give him a shot at starting, then adding an overager is a waste. For the D, there are many different things that could happen. IMO, if Chartrand comes, he gets planted on the 2nd pair. Both MacLean and Richard have reached the age where they would need to outplay any invites (and arguably need to be better than 17s as opposed to being as good). That's not to say that they can't. One guy to look out for at camp will hopefully be Bonnet. |
