I think they should trade him too - I seriously doubt that no matter what happens with the NHL, he won't be playing the Q next season. There is nothing stopping him signing for millions in Europe, and frankly, I wouldn't blame him if he did. The players know they are all one hit away from career ending injury, no harm in cashing in while you can. Besides that, he has clearly outgrown the challenge of the QMJHL. I believe that if the Oceanic can get a good long term investment - not a couple of 18 or 19 year olds - then they should make the trade. I can see a top team, looking to contend in the postseason, swapping three or four first rounders for him - and if they space it out, it will set Rimouski up for the next decade. Whats to stop a team giving them 1rst rounders in 2008, 10, 12 and 14? I would make that deal.
I too believe that Rimouski would be wise trade him
Realisticly, he only has what 35 more games in his Rimouski career?
how much money are they really gonna make off this kid?
This is the rumored trade
Crosby to Moncton for Marchard, Blanchard and karsums
Rimouski would be getting good players in return, quite possibly improving their team this year as well with Blanchard in nets but Moncton takes a huge step back for the 06 memorial cup which they will likely host.
Beign a sharks fan I would love to see this trade
A tandom with Bernier and Crosby would be as lethal as i can remember in the Q
Grahm and Penault make up an awsome second line
With Crosby and Bernier probably the top 2 players in the Q
Moncton can pose a very big threat to London as they can match player to player through the top 2 lines.
Crosby-Perry
Bernier-Shremp
Grahm-Bolland
Penault-Hunter
