I think a SJ/CB/Halifax 3 way deal could make sense. Assuming Cataford gets Lapierre value, that would be something like: 8 + one of SJ's 2025 1sts + 2025 2nd? Then SJ could flip Cataford to CB in a deal for 1st overall. Conversely, SJ could offer 2 1sts next year and a 2nd next year (so that Halifax can stock year 1 picks for the rebuild). Edit: It's a weird situation where CB has quality (that doesn't fit Halifax's needs), SJ has quantity and fit for Halifax, but CB is holding some things that fit SJ better. Here’s where this is dumb. Why would t Halifax go hey if Cataford can get SJ the first overall pick why don’t we go get it ourselves? Halifax is entering their own rebuild and the 1st overall is a great way to kick start it.

Halifax absolutely could do that, but I'm not sure how much more than 1 overall they'd get. In the proposal above, Halifax accepts lower picks but can fill more holes (with the caveat that this isn't necessarily a good draft to have 1OA).

Going one step further, Rousseau is likely the best goalie in the league next year and his age should only slightly diminish his value. Vidicek is a quality OA. He might even be the best OA in the league given that he's a quality C on top of his ability. I'd have Cataford at 2 behind Gauthier (like Jack said), but that's still a quality player in a Memorial Cup year. Where you'll see debate is the players below that. MacKinnon might get a haul at Christmas, but he'd need to elevate his game another step between now and then. Schultz did nice things last year, but we'll see what type of player he is with less insulation. Basically, the top 3 are easy to say that they are very good and every one are wait and see guys. If the wait and see guys take the jumps that Halifax needs them to, this could get awkward because Halifax could be higher in the standings than expected. Sounds like MacKinnon and Vidicek are already headed to Moncton. Which just adds more to how silly it is to cry about people saying your players won't have value. 2 of the biggest pieces are rumored to already been moved. Cataford is already gone as welll!

Nothing from Saltwire on potential candidates. I guess we all have to wait for a Mooseheads’ X post out of the blue announcing the hire.
