In a blog post Monday, Craig Eagles wrote that "a source is reporting that Peter Reynolds will be heading to the Sherbrooke Phoenix when the trade window opens today. The proud Frederictonian, will be reunited with former Sea Dogs team and first overall draft pick Joshua Roy."
Jerome Gaudreau, who covers the Phoenix for La Tribune, is also reporting that the Phoenix are working on a deal to acquire the Memorial Cup champion.

Reynolds was a second-round pick of the Sea Dogs in the 2019 QMJHL Entry Draft. He's recorded 33 goals and 70 points in 91 career QMJHL games.
The 19-year-old nearly averaged a point-per-game in his first season in the league but saw that number decline this past year, mainly because he was pushed further down the lineup after Saint John loaded up at the deadline. He seemed to find his groove under Gardiner MacDougall and looked very good on the team's third line at the Memorial Cup. He finished the tournament with two goals and an assist, which included an empty net goal in the championship game.
"Earlier this year, I would not have been out there for the last five minutes and now I have two empty net goals in the Memorial Cup,” Peter Reynolds. @SJSeaDogs @sjtimesglobe @TJProvincial

The Phoenix were one of the QMJHL's top teams this past season and are looking for a repeat performance. They acquired Calgary Flames prospect Cole Huckins from the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Saturday, who is also a Fredericton native.
The 2022 QMJHL Entry Draft begins Monday night with the first-round. Rounds 2-14 and the American draft will be held Tuesday.
