*OFFICIAL* Moncton Wildcats 2013-2014 Thread

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Dubeau
FA

Emond(20) Sweeney
Melindy(20) Wood
Johnston McCabe
Mann

Lalonde Barbashev Euro
Johnston Penny Garland
Tremaine Johnson Batt
Simpson Pugsley Haas
Beaudoin Hynes Bradley


I figure we'll add a couple of free agents to the mix. We also will have room to add a 20 year old , likely a forward since Emond and Melindy are pretty well locks. Hopefully we can add a top end European forward as well. Could be worse but it is definitely a rebuilding year. The next coach is also up in the air. There's alot of rumours and candidates include Guy Boucher , Fabian Joseph, Gardiner MacDougall.

Do you think MacDougall would leave his empire at UNB? it would have to be a good deal for that to happen.

How is the draft this year look for Moncton

 

[baboinfou]

Barbashev Victo bound? Moncton will have to complete the danault trade

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Supposed to be more then Barbashev...

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Do you think MacDougall would leave his empire at UNB? it would have to be a good deal for that to happen.

Likely not , however he was contacted by RKI and didn't confirm anything. I doubt it but it has been rumoured.

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Barbashev Victo bound? Moncton will have to complete the danault trade

No he is not. Danny Flynn confirmed he has a no trade clause and is not headed anywheres. Lalonde and/or Johnston are the likely players headed to Victoriaville.

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

How is the draft this year look for Moncton

No 1st rounders but not sure exactly what their picks look like because they have a couple of trades to complete with picks headed each way. We may get our 2015 1st back from Victo for players.

Thanks. There is also a 2nd coming from Shawinigan because Matheson didn't report and there's also a pick or two coming back from Victoriaville when we send them players (Lalonde/Johnston) at the draft..

Should help a bit.. Keeping Barbashev is huge.

Yes. I was very glad to hear DF confirm he'd be a Wildcat next season. He's only NHL draft eligible in 2014 so he'll be here for at least another two seasons. Definitely a cornerstone player to build around.

He and Garland will be dominant !

 

[ClemQ]

instead of adding a few FA, they should try building through the draft like most teams

When was the last time the Wildcats actually had a goalie come through their team? Instead they sign 19yr old FA's and trade their 16yr old goalies.

Garland and Barbashev will be dominant....as dominant as you can be on a 28 win team

They seem to be doing alright in the FREE agent goalie department... Shane Owen, Charle Lavigne , Jhase Sniderman since 2005-2006.. I agree that it would nice to build through the draft but there's nothing wrong with adding a solid free agent. Never know , maybe we'll find the next Claude Giroux Might have a hard time next season but Barbashev is a 3 year player since he's only NHL draft eligible in 2014 and it's looking like Garland has the potential to be a 5 year player. I think that's ample time to be in the upper echoleon on the league again

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

They might be adding Daniel Sprong to that group..

 

[ClemQ]

They might be adding Daniel Sprong to that group..

why would you say Moncton might Add Sprong? There are 18 teams that might add sprong. They dont own a first round pick and Sprong should be gone by the end of the first. Multiple teams have more than 1 pick in the first round, so i doubt he will be able to play the game of choosing where he wants to play. There will be a team that takes him before the late 2nd or 3rd which is when Moncton will pick, unless a trade to move up is done. Not sure what moncton has that would warrant a first round pick in return....but that's another story

Awesome lineup!

Good luck!

Bored ?

Bored ?

Awaiting the next Wildcats Head Coach who will teach the trap for the next 3 rebuilding years.

That will be boring!

 

[ClemQ]

any news/insight on any progress with the search for a coach?

 

[Raimu]

Awesome lineup!

Good luck!

Still looks stronger than the 2013-14 Titan hehe.

 

[ClemQ]

oh please dont start all that crap now...let the current season finish before we listen to them banter back and forth on who is going to be better.

Just teasing We don't know how futures, drafts, trades, any of that will look yet. regardless I don't expect either team to be exceptional.

 

[ClemQ]

but i bet they both think they will have great teams
