The Chicoutimi Sagueneens have acquired defenceman Mathieu Gagnon and forward Christian Ouellet from the Gatineau Olympiques.In return, Chicoutimi sends 17-year-old forward Mickael Beauregard, Armada's third-round pick in 2012, Cape Breton's fourth-round pick in 2012, a first-round pick in 2013 and a second-round pick in 2013.
Gagnon, 19, has six goals and 40 points in as many games this season with the Olympiques. He was a third-round pick in 2008 by Gatineau.
Ouellet, 20, has 15 goals and 40 points in as many games with the Olympiques this season.
Beauregard had a goal and two points in 19 games with Chicoutimi this season.
Sagueneens General Manager Marc Fortier said the team was very happy to land experienced players, in a press release.
"It certainly helped in our decision to make the move, and we haven't touched any of our core players in the deal. We gave up some picks, but we have been selecting in the top three rounds the past few and we are at a point where we wanted players."
