Blainville picked a goalie. So I guess either they are going to trade goalie for goalie plus, or that finally it was never Blainville to begin with?

Crap city vs better environment closer to Laval and Montreal.Other than not being the original plan (and affecting @Whitesnake 's saturday nights) does it have an actual impact on his development by being drafted by Acadie-B. instead of Blainville-B.?

I'm actually wondering what is the point of doing that. The kids often don't bother showing up when that happens.Lapointe should have definitively shut his mouth but a little bit of a low blow coming from AB I find. Legal but still kind of a weasel move.

Or trying to get asset from BLB since they knew they wanted himThat's what happened with Trunev.. I guess if you block another team from getting better? But it's an awful thing to do to a teenager from another country, imo.
Crap city
In LaPresse this morning they asked him about being drafted by AB and he said he had no formal deal with any of the teams. He's coming over anyway.
I lived 30 minutes from there. Been there. Not my type of city. But don't worry, we all lived in a crap city for somebody else. Most importantly, I'm talking about the organization and the menace that they'll leave every year.Easy there buddy
In all seriousness Bathurst has produced some pretty good NHL players (Bergeron, Noah Dobson etc...) and it's not like Blainville is some factory of NHL players![]()

As far as producing players....no idea how using a guy that was there 22 years ago proves a point. Also, Acadie has been there since 98. Blainville since 2011....something tells me that one team had more years to produce players.
And other more infos...Acadie has usually (apart from the last 2-3 years) been able to finish worst than Blanville since Blainville came in. So they had better draft picks. And let's give them something, tehy seem to have a much better scouting group. So is development really a thing here? Maybe.
I didn't say I didn't say that...Didn't I say that I lived nearby and didn't like it? Yes, it's a crap city. But that's for me. Great if you love it. To each their own.You can't call the city crap and then claim you aren't talking about the city
How you feel personally seems irrelevant either way since you aren't the one playing there. Of note, Dobson was not 22 years ago and is better than any player produced by BBA, but you ignored that bit. And if Bathurst leaves he'll play his hockey in the other market? Jake Allen played in St. John's and it didn't seem to disturb his development too much being moved.
And I'll leave you with this which is just facts based. These two teams compete year in year out for the same trophy handed out in May. So far only one of them as won that trophy, and that's despite being in a "crap" city.
30 mins from Bathurst, curious where? Caraquet, Tracadie, Dalhousie, Miramichi? I grew up in Bathurst (left in '99)I lived 30 minutes from there. Been there. Not my type of city.

Lived In Grande-Anse and Paquetville for 2 years. I'm just not a fan of industrial cities. Like Bathurst and St. John who I visited and just hated it.30 mins from Bathurst, curious where? Caraquet, Tracadie, Dalhousie, Miramichi? I grew up in Bathurst (left in '99)
I tend to agree with your statement about the city itself not much there anymore especially since the mines closed but the Titans for most of their tenure have been a more successful franchise than Blainville.
Bathurst: 2 Q titles and 1 Memorial Cup & 2 Q Final losses, since '98 (26 seasons)
Blainville: 2 Q Final Loses, since 2010 (14 Seasons)
Obviously the cities don't compare, I moved from Bathurst to Montreal and was ecstatic when I left, there really isn't anything there. I don't think Bathurst has much runway left as a franchise, there just isn't any way for them to generate corporate revenue. I truly believe they will move out of Bathurst eventually (i think within the next 2-5 years)
