With a 14% chance, the Eagles pick #1 overall! Now, trade #1 to valdor for #3. I have a feeling they will want the teammates out of quebec. Could get a couple really good players for their run next year. Then, trade #3 to highest bidder to continue to fill out their roster to go for the ship next year. What a great outcome that i was not expecting!

What a great outcome that i was not expecting! The big problem is that Val-d'Or has nothing we would preferably want for next season. Someone posted an unfounded rumour that the pick is already traded for a "substantial" package but didn't specify teams/players. I'm sure Couteriers phone will be busy in the coming weeks.

If we're trading the pick you'd think the main piece coming back would be an 18 year old star forward, but there aren't too many out there that I'd even consider moving the pick for. Probably just Gauthier but I have no idea if Drummondville plans on selling. Definitely a lot of options for Couturier, draft day is guaranteed to be a fun one. Could always make the pick and try to set-up a perennial contender of a team as well.

Realistically Saint John at #5 would be a much better trade down partner using something based around Matieko++ But this is the time to make the home run swing, coming off a deep playoff run the year before with alot of returning players. The core is here and locked in, 1-2 more major star pieces to push us over the top is what we need to be talking about this pick getting us (potentially).

I don't disagree there, I'd think the addition from SJ would have to be substantial given that Matieko is a European and with Russians back in the import draft I feel like we'd be able to convince an older European to come over and give us PPG-ish numbers without much of an issue.

Could get a couple really good players for their run next year. Then, trade #3 to highest bidder to continue to fill out their roster to go for the ship next year. What a great outcome that i was not expecting! The problem with this strategy is that this is one of the worst drafts to have the #1 overall pick in. Removing the guys who are leaning south (Lawrence, Chartrand, Dagenais) and the LSL guys who are believed to be leaning south (Rozzi, Yared, Taillefer), the top 5 is likely some combo of: Jayden Plouffe (Esther-Blondin) Romain Litalien (Séminaire Saint-François) Chad Lygitsakos (Trois-Rivières) Benjamin Cossette-Ayotte (Trois-Rivières) Jacob Gouchie (Moncton) That's a very good group, but you could honestly make a case that any of those 5 is your top guy. Add on to that that there's a chance that Quebec could sway Yared or Dagenais or that SJ could sway Lawrence and it's difficult to say who is going top 5 at all, but picking 5th vs 1st isn't necessarily a great stretch Note: Reference for top guys and who is leaning (not including LSL where 2 of the 3 are brothers of guys who went south) is www.journaldequebec.com/2024/04/24/je-ne-pense-pas-avoir-deja-vu-ca-personne-ne-sentend-sur-lidentite-du-meilleur-espoir-en-vue-du-repechage-de-la-lhjmqIf CB has a trade in place to a team like SJ, it should include a 1st (whether it be 5th, 8th, or one or more of next year's picks) but also would certainly include Mateiko and possibly a guy like Peddle.

CB trades : #1 overall Pick G - Nicholas Ruccia 3rd Roubd pick 2025 Vic trades : F Justin Larose F Justin gendron Who says no? gotta think ruccia's stock has rising exponentially after this year/playoff run. He could end up being a top 20 year old goalie next year. Him plus the 1st overall i would expect a large return thats for sure, even if the draft is weaker.

Victoriaville isn't making a deal like that under any conditions (regardless of value) and SJ isn't paying that much to move up. Now if the SJ deal were for a future first, I think there would be a chance (but I think there's too much quantity as a starting point).

CB trades : #1 overall Pick G - Nicholas Ruccia 3rd Roubd pick 2025 Vic trades : F Justin Larose F Justin gendron Who says no? SJ says no to that IMO. Also can't see Victo going after Ruccia with Daigle expected to be #1, can't see him being a backup again next year. I think the best use of that #1 is going to try and acquire a top guy, not a couple of fringe guys or guys who need bounce backs. You need a guarantee.

I can't see the Eagles using the 1st overall towards an 04 born. So that likely leads to a top 18 or 19 YO player. In terms of contenders potentially rebuilding next year these are *possible* situations/starting points to bigger deals
Baie-Comeau - I'm not sure what their plans really are next year but if they decide to rebuild then Poirier is a prime target. Bernier on the backend would be a nice add as well.
Rouyn - A combination of Brunelle/Verdon + Zonnon could maybe be possible? Not sure if that's the route though.
Halifax - Cataford would be an obvious target assuming he's not going to Rimouski like Rumored.
Drummondville - Gauthier would be the prime target but like Cataford, rumored to Rimouski.
Victoriaville only really has Larose and that doesn't get it done alone so I doubt they're a partner.
other than those It's really hard to pinpoint another hypothetical deal, only team I can see being rather interesting is if Shawinigan decides to offload some of their higher value guys and have a package of Lacerte + Tourigny to start. Those could be big adds and could allow Shawinigan a proper rebuild as well.
