As you stated, adding a 19 yr old D can’t hurt the team :) Not short term at least.
It’s probably a fair price as Bloom was going to go for the equivalent of Sima, 2-2nds, 2-3rds imo.
Maybe the battalion got matching rights for Mintyukov

But we traded a 19 yr old dman in Gauvreau. I don't see how that helps the D. Too much IMO.

NB doesn't have enough picks left to get Mintyukov

great upgrades. Unfortunately sima odd man out being outplayed by teammates. Hopefully our D can be more favourably slot now.
That’s a serious move by a team with serious aspirations! Let’s do it!


Thoughts on lineup look post trade?

My guess would be :

Bloom - Jackson - McDonald
Tarasevich - Wakely - Petrov
Ertel - Arnsby - Van Steensel

I think you'll quickly see Sima outplay the others. Great move for his future, perhaps time with Misa will help.

I think the McDonalds/Jackson experiment has already shown us that it doesn't work. Jackson needs to distribute the puck and McDonald is a shoot first guy.
I think you switch Ertel and McDonald and you're good. That 19/11/16 line has been solid as has the second line you noted.
Regardless, things look much better than they did yesterday.
All the best to Cam and Nic in Saginaw. Rearrange the letters in SIMA and you get MISA :D

Veteran defencemen Tnias Mathurin and Avery Winslow are injured again. This duo missed the start of the year, returned, then got hurt again.

“Looks like he (Mathurin) is out quite a bit longer than we thought,” says Oulahen.

Getting Hislop now may have been a move they had to make. Nelson, Chistopolous, Lukin and Hislop is a good top 4 - but when Mathurin and Winslow get back? That's a back end (coupled with a 4 line offence) that could give teams in the OHL a *lot* of problems to deal with. Though if you ask me, the dealing (I don't *think* ;) ) is done yet; maybe some depth in the bottom 6 and recoup some of the picks lost in this deal....what does everybody think - or is there another big deal coming? It takes guts to make a big deal like this early - I think Adam Dennis is waving that "all in " flag sooner than we may think.

Some moving parts I’d guess as there’s 3 maybe 4 top 6 LW.
Ertel-Jackson-Bloom
VanSteensel-Arnsby-MacDonald
Petrov-Wakely-Tarasevich
Romani-Podoliouhk-Procyszyn
Therrien

PP1
Petrov-Jackson-Bloom
Nelson-MacDonald

If a significant LD upgrade was available to the battalion with out costing Procyszyn, I think the team would add in place of Winslow or Lukin.
A goalie for injury insurance would be a good idea I think.
 
With Ottawa at the top, and Peterborough making the deal(s), NB couldnt sit back and wait. Look for Missy to try to get into the deals soon. Only so many high end guys available. Look to see Barrie sell off if continue to falter. Teams are starting to separate and making decisions if they have what it takes to go for it or not. Ottawa got a ton of picks to go for high end guy.

Missassauga might only tinker a bit. I doubt they trade their ‘06-1st.

Does anyone know the extent of Mathurin's shoulder injury? By my count this is the 3rd time he has been out of the lineup. Hope he can get back to playing soon.

It is believed to be a labrum issue and non surgical procedures haven't worked for him. I think he is having surgery this week - I don't think NB can expect him back this year or at best not until March.

So the schedule-maker has the team on the road in Barrie - which has a later 7:30 start - meaning they get home in the wee hours - and then schedules an afternoon game the next day. Yes, they're young and fit but a little more time in between games would be better planning. They could have at least made the Barrie game an afternoon game. Other teams probably go through similar annoying scheduling but you would think something more efficient could be done.

Imo, NB gets the raw end of the scheduling deal time and time again. It's a factor for sure. I hate when they do the Kingston, Peterborough and Ottawa trip - 3 games in 42 hours and the 67s are always off Saturday night well rested for the Sunday afternoon game. PMO!!!
