Danis-Pepin was a gamble we took in the 7th round ... not much risk there - take a look at the guys drafted in the picks following him for fun and see if you recognize any names ... Pineault, we had for 2 years out of the four we held his rights ... but they were his best two years (18 and 19) ... IMO he didn't turn out to be all that great, but he was a good player for us nonetheless ... we definitely would have been better off had we just chosen Olivier Latendresse who went 5th overall, immediately after we took Pineault 4th ... score that one a 50% grade. Brown is apparently going to come, MacAusland may or may not show ... but I would expect that once he gets a nice education package, and mom/dad get offered a nice new job working for one of the Irving Group companies, we will see him here in August. His Dad owns Rallye Motors...I don't think $$$ is the issue. Shit ... so we can't bribe him with jobs for his parents OR a new car?!? Our odds of landing him just went way down .... Then again, knowing that his dad is a businessman, he will understand that money talks ...

If Mac shows up there will be worse talk about Moncton than there was about Quebec last year with Espo...... Agreed, and it will be justified ... It is already justified with the coming of Brown.....

More BS Mcausland will be in camp. There was to much info regarding his intent to go US college. Hodge doing the full article was the icing on the cake. Ever hear a saying about protesting to much??? This was as big a set up as the Tessier grift last year. If I was a player eligible for the draft what do I care if a team takes me in the draft and I have no intention of reporting. Why make such a big deal? This was a calculated play and it worked. There was 1 Hodge article...maybe it was mentionned previously when the CSR lists came out. It's not like MacAusland is calling Hodge to get an article written about him...the guy is local and rated early 1st round. It was mentioned in other articles leading up to the big article. And no I don't think that the player called the paper to get the article written but can you remind me who owns the paper and who the number 1 propagandist is for the Wildcats? All I am saying is that we know this sort of thing happens, and if any team should be aware of the intentions of a player in the Moncton area it should be Moncton.

All I can say is if he shows up it's emberassing but good for the team. Then again it's almost as emberassing to waste a second round pick when we're dying for picks...

SimplY because it becomes a preferred treatment which gives an edge to the concerned team unfairly for the others. As I said, why not simply sanction the culprits?

I wouldn't be suprised to see him delt to Que at Christmas when this has all died down. Although if I was 5'6", oh wait I am, I think he's pretty smart looking for a good education over Prof Hockey. Big guys half as talented as you figure out how to hurt you quickly.
