The Sea Dogs were quiet on trade deadline
day but a number of former Dogs were dealt.
The Val-d’Or Foreurs have traded 20-year
old forward Stephen Anderson to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in exchange for
a 12th-round pick in the 2016 QMJHL Entry Draft.
Anderson has 12 goals and eight assists
in 36 games this season. He spent parts of the three previous seasons with
Saint John before being traded to Val-d’Or.
The PEI native was one of three players
with Sea Dogs connections traded to Cape Breton over the past few days, joining
defenseman Olivier LeBlanc and goaltender Bobby Dugan.
“I’m just excited to go to a team like
Cape Breton, who seems to be very committed to improving a lot this season, and
making a run for it,” Anderson told the Cape Breton Post. “I’m very excited to
finish (my junior career) off back on the east coast in Cape Breton.”
The Eagles currently sit out of a
playoffs spot with a 13-21-2-3 record. They host the Gatineau Olympiques
tomorrow night at Centre 200.
Former Sea Dogs defenseman Alexander
McQuaid also has a new home as the Quebec Remparts dealt him to the Chicoutimi
Sagueneens in exchange for Brian Lovell.
McQuaid had three assists in 53 games
with Saint John last season. This year with the Remparts he has two assists in
32 games.
In other news, the Memorial Cup hosting Remparts just got a
whole lot better with Anthony Duclair returning to junior.
