The Sea Dogs made their first move of the trade period this morning.

The team traded their third round pick (46^th overall) in this year’s draft to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in exchange for Marc-Antoine Turcotte and Drummonville’s fourth round pick (57^th overall).

So, basically:

Saint John drops 11 spots to acquire Marc-Antoine Turcotte

Turcotte, who will turn 20 on Sept. 9, is a 6’00”, 184 lbs goaltender from Châteauguay, Quebec. Last season he posted an 8-9 record to go along with a 2.17 goals against average and a .908 save percentage in 18 games.

Turcotte will presumably battle for the team’s No. 1 goaltender position along with Alex Bishop, Blade Mann-Dixon and whoever else shows up at training camp.

The trading period can be followed on the QMJHL website.
