I really liked Lajoie when Boucher played him

I remember his first month here was amazing. Some of us thought he was going to be a for sure top 4 dman.

Less is more.

Any insight on Bishop?

Any insight on Bishop?

Canes fan here. He's a speedy hard working player. A bit undersized but it doesn't work against him. He isn't the most offensively gifted player but he has decent hands and plays with pace. Think you'll like him if there's room for him to play 4C.

I know nothing about Bishop besides the fact that his HockeyDB is very underwhelming.

Log-jam on the blue-line, I suppose.

 

[Sweatred]

AHL depth Center.

 

[Sens72]

I attended a hockey camp awhile back and Clark was my group’s coach so it’s pretty cool to see him traded to my favourite team. He had been drafted by Carolina at the time but seemed like a pretty humble and down to earth guy.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

good in the room

Wow Lajoie tumbled out of the organization rather quickly.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I feel like lajoie could have played instead of reilly or play on the taxi squad At least see if he can develop something more. But it is what it is. I’m sure this bishop will be...not that great. Or maybe a diamond in the rough

Boucher compared him to vlasic lol

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

must be one of those character guys I keep hearing about

 

[Hale The Villain]

Bishop's cross-checks/60 is far higher than Lajoie's. Easy move to make.

 

[cudi]

He was Bouchers favourite baby to feed steak to

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Dorion (Melnyk more so) wants the "rebuild" to be over with asap. They're forgoing the development of lesser prospects in favor of "seasoned" vets. Not a bad plan, but could potentially backfire if one of these guys (Balcers, Lajoie, Jaros, maybe Chlapik) breakout.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

That's a weird move. Don't we need AHL D in Belleville?

 

[Ouroboros]

Could never understand this guy making the team a few years back. He was regularly healthied in both of his AHL campaigns - was always bad whenever I watched Belleville.

Aspirot has leapfrogged him. This was clear to anybody who was watching B-Sens games last season.

I don't know anything about Bishop.

Nah. One of Jaros/Brannstrom, Thomson, Alsing, Aspirot, Jack Dougherty, Colby Williams, Hubert Labrie.

Yikes

That was my reaction as well. Would have been a good year for Lajoie to play biggish minutes down there. I still think that if he gets his health back he can be an NHL player.

I know nothing about Bishop. literally never heard of him, so...who knows.

 

[Ouroboros]

Yikes

Oh yeah, Belleville are likely going to be quite bad this year. Then again, I don't know what Toronto, Manitoba and Laval look like so it's tough to say.

Lajoie would have a tough time cracking that group though.

LOL

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Lajoie asked for a trade or something.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Some of my fellow Canes fans think Bishop can be a 4C. Perhaps he can, but I think he's most likely just a won't kill you when he's called up type. Of course, that's not without some value.
