RDS: Bouillon coming back ?

[Dr Gonzo]

Boullion is decent 6-7 D

Nope. He's way below replacement level in the NHL.

 

[TRG]

You're done Frankie, get the **** out.

 

[BLONG7]

I think once all 30 teams pass on the Cube, you may see him offered a coaching job with the organization, in Hamilton?

When has he ever shown any tactical awareness? His only strength, if you can even call it that, was his agility and relative power - no tactical knowhow whatsoever.

I think you are right, but being close to MT will probably land him a job, if no team takes a chance on him...

He'd be far more likely to get a job at RDS or TVA Sports.

 

[AntonCH]

Have we replaced Brisebois?

 

[overlords]

He'd be far more likely to get a job at RDS or TVA Sports.

Can you imagine how betrayed the guys over at RDS would feel if he took a job with TVA?

 

[RJJ]

I think Bergevin has had a great summer this year. Last summer I thought he made a couple questionable moves but this summer he is batting 1000. Don't ruin it all by signing Bouillon. Time to move on and bring in some young blood.

 

[K9]

And you know what, if for some reason some catastrophe befalls our D and we're desperate to add a cheap experienced depth guy at some point in the season... Bouillon is still going to be available. Nobody else is going to sign him in the meantime.

100% agree. If heaven forbid, we lose three of our regulars to injury and the kids are given every chance to step up and are not ready for that responsibility(even though I doubt that considering we have 4 D who are legimately knocking on the door of the NHL), then you can bring him as he knows the system, locker room, etc. But that's it. No need to sign him now.

If they sign him this summer I will snap, I am already having a bad enough week as it is having to spend most of it with consultants.

 

[Seb]

If they re-sign Bouillon I'm going to lose it. We moved on from useless vets like Gionta and Murray, time to do the same with him.

Was the mod thread deleted because Jee is the man?

 

[kassian]

From La Presse this morning:



He doesn't think they're mature enough at the moment, possibly in two or three years. There has to be a long term captain, not just one or two years.

What a dick lmao

It wasn't deleted.

Isn't that what happens all the time now ?

 

[habdynasty]

I think there is a new highchair at rds with frankies name on it...

 

[Habs10Habs]

Oh crap, I didn't see the "?" at the end. I thought we re-signed Cube.

 

[Tiger Svoboda]

I'm fine with resigning Bouillon as D#7-8

 

[Seb]

I'm fine with resigning Bouillon as D#7-8

You know very well if the Habs sign him he's gonna play over 13 mins per night and be on the ice with 2 mins left while we're up 1 goal.

 

[MasterDecoy]

put the knife down, he's not gonna be a regular. he wasn't even a regular by the end of the season. and when he was playing, he was fine. a bit overused but that's on coaching, not on francis. he'd be a fine 7/8th D

 

[Whitesnake]

What a dick lmao

He might very well be....but that's probably what everybody in that dressing room is thinking. Weaver also said something like that.

 

[Kojo]

All your contingencies mean nothing because as long as therrien is coach and boo boo is under contract.. Therrien will play him a lot

MT didn't play him every night and now Bouillon is a year older so to speak. Your opinion is wrong and it's not even funny anymore. That way of thinking is giving me nightmares.

Personally I hope he's not resigned unless it's a two-way contract.

 

[JohnnyReb]

I have to say that it's a pretty good sign that our organization is in decent shape when the most controversial things to happen this summer are signing your #1 defenseman to a long-term contract two years before he is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and MAYBE signing a#6-8 defenseman.

I can't believe some people are saying that they are "going to lose it" over a 6-8 defenseman. There are teams with much bigger problems you know.

 

[sakicduchene]

Fine as a #7/8 but it's time to let the kids play.

It's not really "problems" but people in general being fed up of having the washed up players coming back, especially when we have some solid blue liners who need ice time. Beaulieu, Tinordi and even Pateryn who could be that 7-8, give them a shot
