Armada Acquire Pair Of Prospects In Trades With Eagles, Tigres

The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada have acquired a pair of 2010-born prospects on Tuesday in a set of trades, picking up forward Benjamin Carreno from the Victoriaville Tigres, as well as goaltender Kingston Delisle from the Cape Breton Eagles.

The Tigres receive a 10th-round pick in the 2029 QMJHL draft (CHI) for Carreno, while the Eagles are getting a 2028 sixth-rounder (MON) and 2027 10th (QUE) in exchange for Delisle.

Both of these prospects play for the Châteauguay Grenadiers at the U18 AAA level, and clearly the Armada brass have been scouting that team heavily, and liked what they've seen from both players.

Carreno, 16, was a 10th-rounder by the Tigres in this year's draft, playing his draft year at Stanstead College. He has a goal and three assists in 11 games with the Grenadiers this season.

Delisle, 16, was a sixth-rounder by the Eagles. He has a 7-4-0 record, .914 save percentage and a 2.69 goals-against average with Châteauguay.

Blainville-Boisbriand is in the midst of a rebuilding year after pushing a lot of assets into last year's team with stars like Justin Carbonneau and Xavier Villeneuve. The front office clearly sees value in these two prospects as pieces that could become contributors to the group currently under construction.
