Beveridge traded to Remparts

The Saint John Sea Dogs have traded forward Egan Beveridge to the Quebec Remparts.

In exchange, the Sea Dogs have received 17-year-old forward Félix Pronovost and a sixth-round pick in the 2027 QMJHL Entry Draft.

The move doesn't come as a huge surprise. Beveridge had fallen down Saint John's depth chart and was primarily being used on the fourth line while occasionally being a healthy scratch. A fresh start with a new club could be just what he needs. 

The 18-year-old was a second-round pick of Saint John in the 2023 QMJHL Entry Draft and entered the league with quite a bit of hype. After recording 19 points in his rookie season, he posted 11 last year and is on pace for eight this season.

In 26 games with Saint John this year, the New Hampshire native has two goals and two assists.

Pronovost, meanwhile, has appeared in just seven career QMJHL games over two seasons. He spent most of last season with the Collège Esther-Blondin Phénix – the team that was led by Sea Dogs forward Alexis Joseph.

The Lachenaie, Quebec native was a fourth-round pick of the Remparts in the 2024 QMJHL Entry Draft. In four games with the team this season, he's recorded one assist. 

Pronovost has spent most of this season with the Quebec collegiate league's Champlain St. Lawrence Lions where he's posted nine goals and eight assists in 21 games.

This is just the second deal the Sea Dogs have made since the trade period opened. Before Christmas, the team traded forward Jacob Beaulieu to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.

The QMJHL's trade deadline is Jan. 6.
