Migth only be me but I think Lincourt s time with the Cats may be short.......even if Marquardt doesnt come back!
The decision will be easy if marquardt does come back but in the instance he ain t I m sure Flynn is looking for another 20 year old.
I see the Sea dogs have picked up Picard Hooper in their line up...
Just wondering who else would be available?

I agree, I've not seen much from Lincourt to indicate he's a good use of a 20 year old slot. Your overagers need to be among your better players, and Lincourt clearly isn't. As others have pointed out, he may just not have great hockey sense...but a better work ethic on the ice should be able to compensate for that somewhat.
I'm disappointed with Lincourt....I really thought he would play well in camp and at the start of the season knowing his roster spot is on the line. If he isn't playing well now (it's crunch time for him), why would anyone expect for him to suddenly improve later?

It's only the second game of the season. Why the "Lincourt" bashing so quickly. Yes he does need to tie up his laces and play a full 60 mins. Yes he needs to get more heart and desire but that is up to Flynn and co to find a way to light the fire, but Lincourt also needs to want to have that fire burning. When he plays like he did last year in the playoffs I would be more than happy to have him here for the season. If he doesn't then let some of the young kids play more but to shit on the kid this soon in the season doesn't make sense. It sounds like Lincourt is going to be this years Welton.

I think most people here know how valuable Welton was....dumping on him was undeserved. It's ridiculous to compare the two.
Lincourt, on the other hand, is contributing nothing from the 20 year old slot when he has every reason in the world to step up and show what he can do...his season depends on it.

To be fair, I started crapping on Lincourt after a few games last season ... ;D And he has shown little, other than the odd game here or there, to make me change my opinion - good skills, but doesn't know how to use them ... I doubt this will all of a sudden change ... IMO, your overagers should be key leaders who are teaching the younger guys the ropes - I don't see him doing that (at least not on the ice, off ice may be a different story). |

Well I think the best available isn't available just yet but Peters from Halifax will be but that being said they'll likely send him to a team in the Telus Division  |

I agree that 20's should be the leaders and the go to guys on a team. I think that Lincourt has the talent and skill to be able to do it. I AM disappointed he hasn't come out playing like last years playoffs. I was hoping he would "finally" show what he is made of. Has he done it yet? NO. But it is still early and he has a little time to be able to put it together. curtis: I don't feel that comparing the two is rediculous. No matter what Welton did he got shit on by quite a few posters. I think it will be the same with Lincourt this year for as long as he is here. |

I doubt that Halifax will be afraid to send him to Moncton if the price is right. He really doesn't look like an impact 20YO who can come back to haunt you. |

Peters if of no use to Moncton, they need either a high end forward(Marquardt) or a strong d-man that can play top 4(like Rimouski got with LeBlanc) |

Maybe Dorion would be an option? I think our D needs a boost and Baie-Comeau has 4 20s. They would most likely want to keep Paquet but a deal could probably be worked out for Dorion.

While looking around to see what could possibly be available for 20 year old Dmen .. the one I most likely see that would come here is Beau Prokopetz from Cape Breton. I don't really know much about him, but with Cape Breton rebuilding and I see they are carrying 4 - 20's. It seems logical, but like I said, I don't know much about him. And he's got experience.

I still think Marquardt is coming back....possibly making this discussion moot. Lincourt would either be cut or traded for a mid-round pick if someone needs a 20 yo forward.

I personally think Marquardt will be back too. From what I heard, Syracuse has a lot of older prospects and there isn't a lot of room with their team. |

hopefully Marquardt will be back...
then you say bye bye to Lincourt, he's a big time floater that does absolutely nothing except for having a decent shot!

Lincourt is a 20 YO ... he needs to be a leader ... and for him to be a passenger in the first 2 games of the season is unacceptable. This is the time for him to show his value to the team especially when a decision has to be made on 20 YOs still. You can forgive 16/17/18 YO for being sloppy in the 1st few weeks of the season ... but your veteran 19 and 20 YO have to be there ready to play ... ready to lead the way. All our other veteran 19 and 20 YOs are doing what is expected of them ... Lincourt is still on vacation. He has tremendous skill ... but it is going to waste. He reminds me a lot of Artukhin ... all sorts of skill going to waste because he can't play within a system. At least Artukhin would take somebody's head off now and then. |
