Lee Versage just said he would actually want Cameron to come back next season..
Why??
Not sure all I could guess, would be the options are awful.
Boston hates Julien and Habs hate Therrien, so don't want any of those.
Maybe if Hitch gets let go.

You serious? If the Bruins (stupidly!) let go of Julien we should be all over that. All over it. He would be maybe my top pick in the world as coach here except maybe Quienville.
Julien would get like $20 million over 4 or 5 years if he was available. And he would be worth it.

Yep. If Julien walks, I'm sure we'll be all over that. He would be the perfect fit here in every way.
Just look what he's done with such an underwhelming Bruins team tbis season. They are over achieving even while Rask isn't playing great. He would make this team into a playoff contender if we made a few decent roster moves.
If Julien leaves Boston and we don't offer him the gig here, I don't know what to say. I mean, he might not be interested in coming, but if he is we should meet his demands, be they 5 mil per or whatever.
Why? Because with a decent coach, we make the playoffs, which means extra revenue and Julien pays for himself.
I have heard so many times how Julien controls the style of their AHL team. They play "Bruins" hockey. Which they say is having all the players in the same zone moving up and down the ice together supporting each other.
Babcock is also totally working with the Marlies.
I would love Julien in on this team. Hiring all the staff and coaches in the NHL and AHL and really working both together to all play a winning style of hockey.
Get a good GM willing to give real control to Julien and have a total focused plan. Murray can be the President and relinquish control of the team and be an elder that everyone can ask for his insight but that isn't pulling strings in the background just being there as a grandfather figure.
I would love that so much. We really do have sizeable and deep talent on our roster and if we could figure out good systems and smarter play we could contend soon, even next season.
Hope it happens. But unlikely.
To the bold, McLean introduced this with us and Bingo.
Not like Babcock or Julien. I mean every team tries to do this. Boston and Julien. Detroit/Babcock. Do it at an elite level over many seasons. I want that.

We were successful in the shortened season because of Andy, Bishop and Lehner.
And Alfie, Gonchar, Wiercioch, Methot, Turris etc. You know, the guys taking the regular shifts and scoring the big goals.
Is this really much of a mystery? Lee Versage is a moron. His opinions are less than worthless. The guy is a complete waste of space in the Ottawa Sports media scene. He just seems alright when you put him next to a guy like Don Brennan.
i guess you would ask players if they'd be comfortable having him back, but having him back on a short leash could work if there aren't good options available during the off-season.Lee Versage just said he would actually want Cameron to come back next season..
Why??
Wiercioch was the only call up you listed. Andy's .942 sv% sure won us lots of games though
No playoffs AND not in a spot to get a top pick either.
Mr. Below Average, strikes again.
Doomed to an eternity of mediocrity.
