Do the Habs go into the season "Goonless"?

[K9]

Coyotes fans said Bissonette pulled a Laraque. He doesn't want to fight all that much anymore.
If you're gonna get an enforcer, might as well get the best one, not one that doesn't want to do his job.

I had read that too but rt, a very reliable Coyotes poster said that that was because of Tippett's system. He said that Bissonnette will do whatever the coach asks of him. He had some really good things to him which is why I've warmed up to him a little bit more.

This would be one of those things that would have to be discussed directly with Biz, and he has to be honest about it, if he expects his role to be 10 minutes a game and doesn't want to fight anymore, see ya.

Bissonette, the next washed up goon in line to replace Parros/BGL? http://dropyourgloves.com/Fights/FightCard.aspx?Player=10706

Only 9 fights in last 2 season:
1 W (Rinaldo)
6 L (Rosehill, Peluso, Reaves, Rupp, Jackman, Bordeleau)
2 T (Bollig, Boll)

Will fit right in with recent Habs goons.

I'd be more afraid of gallagher tbh.

Well, which one is it Kriss?

You say the Habs dont need an enforcer but need someone who can play hockey.

When Bissonett is presented as someone who wants to play hockey and put enforcing secondary, you say that we dont need a Laraque who will not fight..

It appears you are arguing against yourself.

Looks like he wants an enforcer who can fight and can play. Bissonnette sucks at both of those things.

Only if you think that someone who can play hockey and someone who wants to play hockey are the same thing.

Well, I want to play for the Habs too. Doesn't mean I would be good at it.

Bissonett falls into that category. Like Laraque, his only worth (very broad use of worth here) to the league is to fight guys. If he doesn't want to, well, he needs a new job.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Are they UFAs or do we need to trade for one? In the latter event, at what cost?

Edit. Didn't see MonctonScout's comment. There must be one of his options who can skate, no?

With Vancouver trading for Dorsett, I could see Sestito on waivers. At most he's worth a 6th. Of all the fourth liners we could bring in, I actually wouldn't mind him. While he is no world beater by any stretch, Sestito can at least contribute.

As many others already posted, wanting to play hockey and being able to do it are two different things.
Bisso might want to play hockey, just like Laraque, but he sucks at it so no, I don't want him.

Son of a gun, I found our enforcer:

Probably has decent legs as well.

From what I remember Bergevin put in a waiver claim in for him when he went to the Canucks, he'd be a nice pickup especially since he's not that terrible of a hockey player.

He'd really be the perfect IMO. Pushing one of Prust or Weise to 3rd line adds sandpaper to our line-up.

Bournival-Eller-Weise
Sestito-Malhotra-Prust

That would be an AWESOME bottom 2 line team.

I now think we're effectively headed into the season "goonless".

First, other teams in the division are not exactly moving in that direction. Second, if Bergevin really wanted one, he would have signed the best possible deal right after inking Subban. Since it's been a few days, I doubt it happens now. Maybe I'm wrong.
