The August trade period in the QMJHL begins today. Don't expect a trade deadline frenzy, usually two or three trades are made on the opener. However, in the coming weeks as training camp opens, pre-season begins, and we get closer to the regular season, expect some more trades from teams putting the finishing touches on their rosters. Trades made around this time frame are usually small so don't expect any blockbusters.
One thing (and pretty much the only thing) Cape Breton should target now that trading is open is a veteran top-4 defenseman. Usually I wouldn't expect a good trade like that to be made this early but with the Eagles competing in the Junior World Cup in Russia this month, a trade such as that may be made sooner than later as the Eagles would like to get better for that tournament.
