Busy week beginning for Sea Dogs

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

It's expected to be a busy week for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The team has been fairly quiet since getting swept in the opening round of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League playoffs – but that is going to change this week.

The Sea Dogs are expected to announce a few trades as the team appears poised to enter contender status. A deal or two could be announced as early as Tuesday when the first trade period of the week opens.

QMJHL Trade Periods for Entry Draft Week:

- Tuesday, June 2 - 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

- Thursday, June 4 - 8:30-9:30 a.m.

- Friday, June 5 - During the draft.

- Saturday, June 6 - During the draft.

Note: The times indicated are Atlantic Time. #qmjhl #lhjmq

Friday and Saturday are big days as well, of course. The first-round of the QMJHL Entry Draft – which the Sea Dogs currently have two picks in – will take place Friday night with the remaining rounds scheduled for Saturday.

There's also the possibility of other signings – although those are more likely to come after the draft. The biggest name to watch remains Jamie Glance who spent this past season with the USNTDP.

Saint John is hard at work trying to sign Jamie Glance, 6th round pick and BU commit for 27/28. Played for the USNTDP. Would be a perfect fit for their forward group. https://t.co/Qmi2ToMt2F

Here's a quick rundown of some off-season coverage if you're in need of catching up:

• Plenty of questions facing Sea Dogs
• Armada GM: Lemieux to be traded to Saint John
• Here's where Saint John will (currently) pick at the QMJHL Entry Draft
• QMJHL Central Scouting releases final 2026 rankings
• Sea Dogs land fifth overall pick

We'll also be keeping an eye on what the other Atlantic teams do this week. It certainly looks like Cape Breton, Moncton, Newfoundland, Saint John and (apparently) Halifax could all be making runs this season.
