According to Kathleen Lavoie of Le Soleil, the Quebec
Remparts will acquire Nicolas Hebert from the Saint John Sea Dogs in exchange
for a 2017 fifth-round pick.
The Sea Dogs acquired Hebert from the Rimouski Oceanic
this past December in exchange for a 2014 fifth-round draft pick. The 18-year
old centre registered six goals and four assists in 33 games with Saint John in
the second-half which was more points than he had in his entire career in
Rimouski.
Hebert was selected 12th overall in the 2012
QMJHL Entry Draft but could never consistently produce offensively. In his
rookie campaign, the Longueuil native had two goals and two assists in 54
contests. In 35 first-half games last year he recorded two goals and an assist.
This deal is certainly good for Hebert who will head to
the team hosting the 2015 Memorial Cup.
The QMJHL trade period opens on Friday, May 30th
– the day before the 2014 Entry Draft in Sherbrooke. Sea Dogs general manager Darrell Young told the
Telegraph-Journal this week that the team already has two deals made, one to do
with acquiring assets while the other is about acquiring leadership.
