Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

Sportsnet's Jeff Marek is reporting that the Halifax Mooseheads are expected to trade forward Elliot Desnoyers to the Saint John Sea Dogs.

Marek first reported the news during the 32 Thoughts segment on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday. The video can be seen on the Sportsnet website.

A couple of CHL notes I mentioned on Hockey Night in Canada....

Look for the Halifax Mooseheads to trade Elliot Desnoyers to the Saints John Sea Dogs. Not sure what the return is but it will probably be a whopper.

The Mooseheads are expected to move Desnoyers, their 19-year-old captain, prior to Thursday's QMJHL trade deadline. Saint John has been speculated/rumoured to be the landing spot for the Philadelphia Flyers prospect for some time. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

Desnoyers, who was part of Team Canada's world junior team, has 16 goals and 36 points in 23 games with the Mooseheads this season.
