It hurts to work with players for such a long time and then see them leave, sort of against their will, a bit for some. It\u2019s our reality, and I think Daniele has done an incredible job going out and getting players who\u2019ll be able to help us from the get-go when we start with the Victoire. Throughout the league, our team\u2019s reputation is made, and everyone knows it\u2019s a good organization that is well-managed, well-coached, and has an incredible leadership and veteran group. I&#8217;m really proud to see Jessie [Eldridge] and Emma [Maltais] join the Victoire. Maltais will bring us a lot of experience, a lot of grit. Nadia Mattivi, who\u2019s coming back, and the players we were able to keep form a good part of our core. We\u2019ll be starting on a good base; we lost some great players, that\u2019s for sure. Picking 12th in every round was also an enormous challenge; we only found out mere days before the draft. We\u2019ll try to develop the players we picked as much as possible; we have the staff to do it. Hopefully, we\u2019ve drafted the right type of humans, players that want to come and improve, develop every day. If we get that, as we did last year, I think we\u2019ll have another great season.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;We did not have time to come back to reality before being hit hard by the expansion draft.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[276227,49,48,276225,168468,276226,122867,2338,215093],"class_list":["post-780053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-abby-roque","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-caroline-ouellette","tag-emma-maltais","tag-jessie-eldridge","tag-marie-philip-poulin","tag-montreal","tag-montreal-victoire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
