The Saint John Sea Dogs rebuild is hitting full swing.
According to Sportsnet's Jeff Marek, the Sea Dogs will trade forward Cedric Pare to the Rimouski Oceanic in exchange for draft picks - a package that includes the 15th overall pick in this weekend's QMJHL Entry Draft.

If this report is accurate, the Sea Dogs will - for the time being at least - have picks two, eight and 15 in this year's first round.
The Entry Draft takes place on Saturday in Shawinigan.
Pare, 19, has struggled to consistently produce offensively. Last season, he recorded 13 goals and 24 assists in 60 games. There's a strong chance his numbers will take a jump this coming season while playing on a team that should be in the league's upper tier.
Pare was taken with the 10th overall pick in the 2015 QMJHL Entry Draft. He was a sixth round pick of the Boston Bruins in last year's NHL Draft.
The Sea Dogs are in for a few years of rebuilding, no doubt, but stockpiling first round picks should help expedite the process.
