Not a great night at the CB so far. Buteau-Reynolds, what a difficult evening! Flemming did very well !

Welp, this team struggles to score, shutout 2 times in 3 games, power play continues to be terrible. Few good scoring chances but not much going in general tonight.
Have to be better tomorrow night

This is the beginning of the end. One win in their next 5 games and it will be Vald'or.

a scoring 20 YO forward would definitely help but not sure it's available without the price being too high.

I mean the price for an upgraded 20 can be worth it though. I'd rather see the team score goals we can't afford to keep getting shut out like this.
The team plans to contend in a year and half and I'd like to see them add some scoring. Without Sharkey the team struggles.
Id part ways with a 2nd and 3rd rd pick if it means getting a 20 who can score. Buteau will add some value going back if a team is lacking defense.
The team should do what BLB did when they acquired Carbonneau and Lemueix. Get two really good roster players for a few years.
Doing any of those options will also help the team this year and the next few. Belanger needs more help than he has out there.

I'd say any contending plans start and end with the ownership situation vs any roster construction planning. If these owners are moving to sell, going all in to maximize their revenue this season makes the most sense. |

Depending on how far along the sale talks are with the current ownership group in Bathurst would any potential new ownership group even allow the current one to trade deep this season to recoup their losses? especially if whoever the new group ended up being plans to relocate the team. I'd think the new ownership would prefer a team that could win right out the gate and not one forced to rebuild earlier then they really needed to because the previous ownership wanted to make some of their money back in their final season of ownership. |

It likely all comes down to timing. If the deal with someone on Newfoundland is 100% negotiated and sitting in a drawer for 3-4 months so Bathurst can maximize its own ticket sales for this season without the distraction then you're 100% right there would never be a big all in push. But if you're still chatting with different parties and you think you're heading to a sale but not for another few months at least is the price any different without some future assets when its already so hard to get a team? In that case i'd expect current owners to want to buy. |

Big bounce back win tonight, thank god for Fleming, he is 100% the main reason we are at the top of the standings this year. Great game by Milota as well.
Still need to find ways to score more goals.
What a play by Coulombe on game winner.

Very good game from Fleming and Milota. I agree without fleming this team is nothing. This team is so hard to watch at times alot of guys continue to struggle big.
Perron- 15gp-2pts
Laberge 14gp-3pts
Buteau- 15gp-4pts
Belanger- in his last 10 games has 2pts
Rookies haven't shown us a much either aside from Arsenault.
Coulombe is the guy who works the hardest every night, every time he goes out there he earns his next shift I love to see it. Clements really holds it down every night tough stay at home D we can trust with important minutes.

Clements really holds it down every night tough stay at home D we can trust with important minutes. Yup, you can tell Goldie’s approach is a lot more defense first games this year but they have to get the offense going, Fleming can only run hot for so long especially if he’s facing 30+ shots a game. The offense from the blueline is non existent like you mentioned, which is something we need from them as they’re arguably our strong point. The line chemistry still isn’t there, have to find guys who can really bring the offense together. Coulombe has really impressed me and makes sense now why they brought him in over guys like Rushton or Cziment out of camp. He throws the body and skates well and has some hands as we seen yesterday. One thing I notice a lot is this team RARELY has a guy in front of the net, they need to be more hard to the net in hopes to get some screens or rebound goals. |

Could really use Ty Higgins this year lol…he’s lighting it up for the Huskies with 16 points in 13 games.

How many times can you see a D to D? Rarely. Even a pass to def? Not often either. I don't know if it's the game plan, a lack of will or simply a lack of ability.

I feel like they’re trying to be too fancy at times or trying to execute every single written play. But sometimes they need to get a little gritty, pass D to D, throw a shot on net, set up a one timer for a rebound, etc. we’re not seeing enough of it imo. Can’t always be too creative |
