February 14th.
That’s the day the Saint John Sea Dogs sent out a press
release indicating they had “been summoned to a hearing to discuss the deal
that sent Ryan Tesink to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in exchange for the
Sea Dogs’ own 2013 1st-round pick.”
The hearing took place and then we all waited for the result. And
waited. But then it looked like it would end! But it didn’t. So we waited some
more!
But tomorrow, on May 30, 2013, it looks like it will
finally come to an end. Both La Presse and TVA Sports report that the Quebec
Major Junior Hockey League will announce their decision.
What will the decision be? The removal of a Saint John
draft pick(s)? A fine? Nothing it all? It’s anybody’s guess.
If you are unfamiliar with what’s gone one here, the Sea Dogs
traded Tesink to the Armada on January 2nd in exchange for their own
2013 first-round pick. The 19-year old
played in six games with Blainville-Boisbriand before being sidelined with a
knee injury. He didn’t return to action until April 19th.
The Armada believed the Sea Dogs were aware of the injury
prior to making the deal, and that is where the controversy comes from.
So hopefully this finally comes to end tomorrow. The
QMJHL Entry Draft is on June 8 and it would be great to have this settled well before
then.
