For the second year in a row, the QMJHL draft was held virtually and our Halifax Mooseheads picked up 12 new players by the end of the weekend. 

The 1st round was held this past Friday evening where Cam Russell and the crew had the 5th and 6th selections. Later in the evening, Russell made a trade with Saint John sending the 27th and 42nd picks to the Sea Dogs while receiving the 20th overall pick in return. It was the only trade during the weekend that the Herd made and really there weren't many trades period. The remaining rounds were held on Saturday followed by the American draft. 

As I previously mentioned, the Sherbrooke Phoenix won the draft lottery and picked Ethan Gauthier first overall. Drummondville selected Tyler Peddle at #2 followed by Vincent Collard who was picked by Baie-Comeau.
