A trade of players between Moncton Wildcats and the PEI Rocket is reported to be in the works and could be announced Friday. Hockeyscene states Torchetti has emphatically denied the PEI rumour (but not Shawinigan .... hmmmnnnn....). Of course, Hockeyscene also "confirmed" Danny Flynn as our new head coach and GM this summer .... ooooops.... The Shawinigan rumour actually makes sense ... I get the feeling Labelle is not really Torchetti's favourite player, but at the same time, he is a very good prospect who likely will score a lot at 19 and 20. I doubt Shawingan would bite....It seems like too much of a one-sided deal in favor of the cats to be true.... I could see it happening tho if Lewiston is prepared to pay a good price to Shawingan for Welton. Pat Bernier would be a great addition to our team....he's exactly the type of player we don't have(except when Marquardt is pissed)and IMO he's very underated....I don't know about Bouchard,I heard he's a puck hog big time and supposedly he's not a great team guy...not usually the type of guys that fit in here.

Part Two, Welton to Lewiston? Nahh. Lewy could use a PP QB, they are only mid pack. They are also quite young on defense, Denny is 19 then Marshall 17 Piche 18 Korenko 18 Crete 19 Ward 17 Cusak 17.

Billy, i guess my question to you is this. Who did you hear the rumor from? A player, front office another scout. I am not stating you are wrong, just merely stating for example if I were to make this rumor you would be one of the first guys all over me. "source" ?"source"???There are no double standards on these boards. You should be expected to explain yourself, but you have not!

Also, I don't believe Welton is the PP quarterback we'd be really looking at. At least I don't think so.

You are right but Welton is not the guy we are looking for in Lewiston. Just because we always tend to portray a lack of interest in trading assets it does not mean that when we do it will be a middle of the road type of guy. We also need a guy that is capable of shouldering the load. Welton has never been in a situation where he was called upon to be the go to guy. He has always been 3rd or 4th best where ever he has played (Granted he has played with good defensman). To burn an asset on a guy that is unproven in that spot is not the smartest thing to do either. Granted he has had Memorial and Presidents Cup experience and is not a bad guy to have but we need something more then him.

Correct me if I'm wrong ... but I believe proper seasonal worker and/or unemployed northshore grammar should read "them there trades" ... and sometimes the "there" is pronounced "thar". You could refer to your little lady drogers for the proper terms..... OMG! Have I become the board's grammar police?

If we've added the player for picks why is it not announced?

It was announced. Right here by Carey Price. Your not going to disregard the opinion of the MVP in the WJHC are you?
