Battalion acquire Canadiens prospect Jean-Samuel Daigneault from Bulldogs
The North Bay Battalion and Brantford Bulldogs have completed a trade ahead of the long weekend.
The Battalion have acquired defenceman Jean-Samuel Daigneault from the Brantford Bulldogs in exchange for two OHL Priority Selections
Brantford receives Erie’s fourth-round pick in the 2028 OHL Priority Selection and North Bay’s sixth-round pick in the 2030 OHL Priority Selection.
Daigneault, 18, recorded one assist in four games with Brantford to open the 2026-27 season. The Montreal Canadiens selected the Saint-Michel, Quebec native in the seventh round, 221st overall, of the 2026 NHL Draft.
He spent the 2025-26 season with the USHL’s Muskegon Lumberjacks, recording five assists in 47 games. Daigneault was originally selected 35th overall by the Shawinigan Cataractes in the 2024 QMJHL Entry Draft.
