*OFFICIAL* Charlottetown Islanders 2013-2014 Thread

As a sens fan i would add Dunn to that list too :p

He's a decent player but I hope they target a player that will be able to return for the 15-16 season and I dont see Dunn as doing so.

I'm curios to see what happens with Gatineau and the Islanders I personally have bad vibes as an Islander standpoint.

I feel the same way. I think that we will only keep the 2015 pick...

 

[qmjhlisles]

I agree with you there. Which will be a disaster.

Dossier Karabacek. Le ton monte, les négociations s'intensifient, mais toujours rien de réglé. #olympiques #islanders #ledroit

If I translate for you: Karabacek file. The tone rises, the negotiations intensify, but still nothing set.

@Coreyryan2016 Gatineau says yes. That's news to PEI. They are trying to find a solution. PEI insists on Karabacek. We'll see.

He is the main Olympiques journalist/writer. I like the fact that Sonier stick to its guns.

 

[Sala90]

We could have the best team for the 2015-16 season!! I put Kielly and Kennedy on the third line to create the necessary depth to win.

LW-C-RW
Olivier Cooper (20) - Alexandre Goulet (19) - Daniel Sprong (18)
1st round pick - Euro - Vaclav Karabacek (19)
2nd round pick - Kameron Kielly (19) - Bradley Kennedy (19)
Tough guy - Nathan Yetman (19) - Matthew Cusson (19)

LD-RD
20 years old - Dexter Weber (20)
David Henley (18) - 2nd round pick or veteran
Duncan McKie (18) - Luc Deschênes (18)

Mason McDonald (19) - Daryl MacCallum (19)

 

[qmjhlisles]

Yup looks good thing is I think they could make a run this upcoming year and next

 

[Sala90]

Vaclav Karabacek is 51th on a list for the 2014 NHL entry draft.

Dossier Karabacek, Benoît Groulx m’a parlé pour la première fois du dossier complexe hier. Il ira plaider sa cause devant un comité de la LHJMQ prochainement. Après avoir entendu son côté de l’histoire, je ne suis pas convaincu qu’il devra envoyer le Tchèque de 18 ans à Charlottetown. Groulx ne veut pas exposer ses arguments sur la place publique, mais pour la première fois, je comprends que des points jouent en sa faveur.

Karabacek file, Benoît Groulx told me for the first time the complex issue yesterday. He will plead his case soon in front of a QMJHL committee. After hearing his side of the story, I am not convinced that he will send the Czech 18 years old to Charlottetown. Groulx doesn't want to expose his arguments in the public square, but for the first time, I understand some points favor him.

The only argument is that Karabacek belong to Charlottetown vs a 2015 1st round pick. But I guess that the league will find a way to only help Gatineau.

[Islanders78]

Karabacek wont be an Islander. It comes down to Sonier getting the proper compensation

 

[qmjhlisles]

I hope we get something besides the 2015 first if not this is the *****. Now I can deffinately see us making one more move for a talents forward this weekend.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

No Karabacek to the Islanders. Flip flopping 1st rounders is the compensation. PEI gets 7th overall for 12th.

Mikaël Lalancette ‏@MLalancetteTVA 46s
Via @jfplante_Droit Vaclav Karabacek reste avec les Olympiques. Gatineau et Charlottetown inversent leurs choix #7 et #12 de la 1ère ronde.

 

[qmjhlisles]

That is absolutely terrible.

 

[edguy]

That's horrible!! Maybe if we got 7th without giving up 12 it would be better but this is jut awful

 

[Sala90]

What happens to the 2015 1st round pick? At least I hope Charlottetown keeps it.

It's a step back in the construction of the team.

I hope that no GM want to talk to this thief. Groulx is an *******.

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

I know it's not what Islanders' fan wanted but it's still a good trade.

Pepin for #7 , 1st 2015 and Scales

It's not what was agreed on...

 

[nolman29]

Disappointed with not getting Karabacek, but I think at the end of the day, we got a good deal for Pepin.

Pepin wasn't looking a second overall pick this past season anyways. I'm Ok with the final result.

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

It's not what was agreed on...

Not saying it was , but still not a bad trade for PEI...

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Of course the Piques keep him... Why am I not surprised.

 

[wingmanpei]

I'm not surprised either with the way the league operates.

Yes overall it is a good deal for the Islanders but think they got hosed because it was not the deal that was agreed upon. I am betting Sonier was making trades since the Xmas trading period with the thought of having Karabacek in the lineup, now he has to go out and spend more just to get someone similar to Karabacek for the go-for-it season

 

[Islanders78]

With the Islanders now having two open Euro spots does Sonier draft two Euros or just one and bring back Lysenko. They could always trade Cortese away. Im sure someone could use his offensive game and he could fetch a nice return.

MacKinnon - 20
Lysenko- 19
Weber- 19
Rioux-Legault- 19
Henley- 17
Deschenes- 17
McKie- 17

 

[wingmanpei]

I was thinking of trading Cortese regardless of the Euro/Karabacek situation and bringing in a younger d-man through the draft. Hanging onto Lysenko is an option and like how he plays but with the long term in mind, wouldn't also mind seeing less 19 & 20 yr d-men in the lineup this year.

 

[qmjhlisles]

I was really relying on Karabacek coming in if grant doesent acquire a different top 6 fw it is sketchy why he would make all these other deals?

 

[Sala90]

The deals are now officials. Ross Johnston, Dexter Weber, Oliver Cooper and Ryan MacKinnon join the Islanders.

“I’d like to continue to get bigger down the middle,” Sonier said, while adding depth on the blue-line and in the crease.

Now that we don't have Karabacek. Do we keep Cobbold over Cortese ?
