Per B.D. Gallof, “Corey Trivino pleaded guilty today to assault and battery charge.” Per the article in today’s Boston Globe, Trivino has been sentenced to “two years of probation during which he must be tested randomly for alcohol use, attend weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, receive a mental health evaluation, and have no contact with the victim.”
The victim in this case was a resident assistant in Corey Trivino’s dorm who tried to enforce the policy on quiet time, when a reportedly intoxicated Trivino, began attempting to kiss, grope the victim, and followed her back to her room. He (Trivino) repeatedly began to force his way into the victims room and continued to harass her, Police said.
B.D. Gallof quoted a source as, “Asst. DA said plea bargain was recommended b/c victim did not want to go through the trauma of trial.”
Per the Boston Globe, “While on probation, Trivino is required to remain drug- and alcohol-free. He is slated to attend an NHL camp later this year and would then fall under the NHL drug and alcohol testing rules. Trivino was drafted by the New York Islanders in 2008. Under the terms of his probation, Trivino is required to share the results of drug testing with his probation officer.”
Per DailyFreePress: "Trivino completed a four-month intensive outpatient rehabilitation program in Ontario following his arrest. Trivino’s attorney told court: expects to have an NHL contract & assigned to camp by end of month, even if it’s with another team.”
Arthur Staple adds, “According to Isles, Corey Trivino is NOT invited to training camp. He is still team property, but will not be signed or invited. 2008 NHL draft picks who graduate college must be signed by Aug. 15 or become FAs. Since Trivino is ineligible, he's in limbo.
We shall see what this means for Trivino and his pro career. We have tried to follow this case and updated you as details become available. My continued support to the young lady who had to endure this needless situation.
The Hockey News have picked your New York Islanders to finish 15th in the Eastern Conference for next season. They give the Isles credit for showing promise and building depth, but think because they are locked in a tough Atlantic division, they wont be able to “climb out of the basement.” John Tavares in credited for being a superstar on the rise, but they sight goaltending as a reason for not taking the next step.
I am not sure how Evgeni Nabokov can be seen as a liability in net for a team that is getting better on defense. What they do not mention, and what is a concern of the defense is the uncertainty of whether or not Lubo will play for the Isles. Arthur Staple had this, "Per his agent and the NHLPA, still no date set for Lubo Visnovsky's grievance hearing vs. the Ducks." I can say if this hole remains on defense and no other assets are acquired on offense or defense, it may indeed be a tough season for the Islanders. Even if their blue chip prospects get a shot on NHL ice, they will most likely experience some growing pains while the make the jump to the next level. What will the team finally plan for 2012-13 when everything finally shakes out?
Isles Notes:
Per the New York Islanders, Ryan Strome, Griffin Reinhart, Adam Pelech and Andrey Pedan are participating in the Canada-Russia Challenge starting this week.
NHL News:
Per Katie Strang, In CBA news, “NHLPA contingent arrived shortly after noon at NHL offices in NYC. D Fehr still in Europe. Mtg in Barcelona today. DiPietro, Hainsey and Montador here with NHLPA. Player safety meetings to begin, legal issues to be discussed later this afternoon. Mathieu Schneider said NHLPA "closer" to drafting counter-proposal, "but still no timeframe." Player safety and legal issues were main topics discussed during Day 1 of labor talks this wk. Econ issues on Fri agenda. NHLPA still receiving independently-audited financial info from league. Don't expect counter-proposal until it has all been processed. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said two sides expect to tackle economic issues Thursday and Friday. Daly said two sides have found significant common ground on the non-core economic issues discussed recently. Don't want to inspire false hope, though. Common ground or not, deal will hinge on $$$ issues.”
Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, veteran forward Richard Park has signed a two-year deal with HC Ambri-Piotta of the Swiss League.
