The QMJHL's holiday trading period begins today and many moves are expected to be made official when it opens.
Our Halifax Mooseheads are expected to be sellers this year after going pretty much all out last season. A number of rumours have gone around with BO Groulx and Raphael Lavoie, the Herd's top scorers, being among the names that are going to be traded. The two won't be moved until deadline day because players who participate in the World Juniors can't be traded until after the tournament ends. Defencemen Patrick Kyte and Walter Flower have been rumoured to be moved, possibly as early as today. No word on what the Mooseheads will get in return however.
Halifax made two trades during the pre-season but have not made any moves in the regular season. Xavier Parent went to Sherbrooke Phoenix for Cameron Whynot while Jason Horvath was welcomed to the team from the Shawinigan Cataractes.
The trading period ends on January 6. All official trades will be posted on the QMJHL website.
