Some interesting draft trade rumours being posted on some other boards. In the Halifax paper it was printed that Saint John is asking Drummondville for their 2nd & 12th overall picks to get the 1st overall pick which Drummondville won't be doing. What is interesting though is that Drummondville's GM mentions that they are considering taking Anthony who is claiming he is going NCAA. www.hfxnews.ca/index.cfm?sid=32913&sc=94Unsubstantiated rumour posted on Bathurst's board potentially involving Clendenning & Bathurst's 7th overall pick for Blanchard and Victoriaville's 14th overall pick. Potentially other assets involved. Anyone hear/read anything else worth posting?

Understand that the Tits need a tender, but IMO, it would be a mistake on their part to deal Clendenning.......unless it is to the Rocket that is. Also interested to see what, if anything, the Sea Dogs will do, as they hold the #1 spot.....and I believe a good Euro pick too.

With respect to Clendenning there were rumours a while ago that he wanted a change and had no interest in returning to Bathurst.
To me depending on the final details a potential trade like this makes a lot of sense as Bathurst appears to really want to contend this season and Clendenning could be a great leadership addition to Victoriaville and should thrive in a new environment.
I also see an interesting substory to this rumour if this trade happend as it would mean that Vic is comfortable going with 17 yr old sophmore Poulin but Bathurst wasn't with Tardif. Although it is a difference in perspective (Wannabe Contender vs Competitive).
Certainly an interesting rumour to think about and even more interesting if it actually happends.

I don't think that deal happens but if I'm Bathurst's GM I'd do it in a heartbeat.. I like Clendenning but c'mon to add one of the top tenders in the league at the cost of a 55 pt guy? Yep I'd do it

Yep I'd do it Plus goalies are at a premium this year...if they fall out of contention they can get a lot for JCB. They can trade a 2nd or 3rd and replace Clendenning with Sparling who is on the move soewhere...he fits the type of "reclamation project" that Couturier likes.
