Moncton traded Gabriel Gagne, 2 first round picks (2014, 2015), and a 2015 second for just Danault.
Dunno much about the Q, but that seems like a great return.
It was widely speculated that Danault would be traded. I thought, and hoped, that Halifax would trade for him, but Moncton's not a bad team. This is Danault's last junior season and no, he cannot play in the AHL until the end of his Junior team's season. If the Hawks bring him in for training camp and he makes the team, then that's a different story. Don't see that happening though, not this year at least.
Isn't it silly to trade that much for Danault when he will be getting called up to the NHL eventually?
It's not clear if Chicago will even be bringing any Junior players to training camp, like Danault and McNeill, but even if they do, I doubt Chicago burns a year off of Danault's ELC just so he can centre Chicago's 4th line. Danault may come up for training camp, but I have little doubt he'll be sent back to Junior and finish his Junior career before being recalled to Rockford at the end of Moncton's season (including playoffs)
hmmm ... hopefully it's just Victoriaville making this move for future improvement - essentially writing off this season. The fact that Danault was captain should indicate this trade wasn't made for personality issues, I hope.
