Wc acquired Guillaume Blouin from Val d'Or for a 2006 9th rounder.

I would expect this means he'll be our backup this year.

He'll probably be a back-up to the back-up.

Why would we acquire Blouin for that role? Let Cote-Vaillieres be the backup this year and Riopel the 3rd stringer.
A 9th round pick for a former 2nd rounder ... not bad ;D

However, word tonight has it that 16-year-old Riopel will be heading back to Quebec to play there this season.

I would expect this means he'll be our backup this year. You better hope not. He has been the best goaltender in camp behind Blanchard ... and none of them looked bad. He is very quick. His numbers from VD don't tell much of the story. He was a 2nd round draft pick behind Blanchard also ... so we have the 1st and 2nd goaltender selected in the 03 draft ... one will probably be traded before the season is over ... but perhaps in a "player to be named later" type of deal. But if this is all true ... why is 19 yr old Leduc still in camp ? Wouldn't he have to have been placed on waivers yesterday at noon ... he played last night.

Didn't Valliere head back to Quebec to go to school?

According to this morning's AN, he did.
