Confirmed with Link: Bournival makes team

[Teufelsdreck]

I doubt he get's sent down, a trade for a pick would be awesome, even a 6th or 7th

Not awesome but it would create space and a bit of cap room. His departure along with that of Bouillon and Budaj, will lower the average age of the team. That'll leave only about a half dozen 30-year-olds (I haven't stopped to count, but that's about right).

Space yes, cap room we have

Great news for Bournival. Kid works hard, never takes a play off and does whatever is asked of him. He'll be a solid 4th liner or coming down from the press box. This move makes me happy.

Now that Rene--Eller--Sekac line on the other hand....lol

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

Since Moen has a NTC, does that mean he has the right to not go to a team that takes him through waivers?

i dont think so that would be a no movement clause

#Habs Bergevin on last roster cut to get to 23: "I haven't told the player yet and I'm still working on something."

To recap: As of now, Bournival has been told he made the team. Moen has not? And DLR is still up.

Bourni never had a thing to worry about. He had a pretty well defined role with this club.
DLR is the only Kid who has his versatility and more because he can obviously play C.
But the quality of DLR's game has him ticketed for other things.

Regarding that Eller line I wouldn't totally write it off based on one game.
They didn't get scored against which was critical considering the rest of our lineup.
And although disjointed they were often disjointed in the proper end of the rink.

they are renaming l'avenue des canadiens, it'll now be known as Avenue Francis Bouillon. That's what he's working on

#Habs practice lines:
Patch-DD-Parenteau
Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Gallagher
Bourque-Eller-Sekac
Prust-Malhotra-Weise
Bournival-De La Rose-Moen

Parenteau and Sekac should be switched. Eller and Sekac will not work together (offensively).

Moen is gone by end of the day

Kane!! Get it done!!

I'm actually surprised to be honest, not that he made the team but that management has made the right call despite a tough call. The easy decision and what this franchise had been use to in the last 10-15 years was to send the young kid down and let them start in the AHL. Glad Bergevin and team doesn't care and rewards the best and most deserving players

Having a GM that makes the hard decisions, the right ones also, is why good hard working players will want to play in the Habs organization, players are rewarded for their efforts regardless of waivers or other criteria.

Great news for Bournival. Kid works hard, never takes a play off and does whatever is asked of him. He'll be a solid 4th liner or coming down from the press box. This move makes me happy.

It speaks to the Habs quality depth when players of Bournival, Moen and JDLR are fighting for 4th line duties, most franchises have need of PK's of Moen's abilities. As they are in need of tireless talented young prospects like Bourny & JDLR, nice problems for our GM to deal with.

Watching the pre-season games, it's become very easy to see the Habs have numerous options at every position, unlike the teams over the preceding two decades before Bergevin became our GM.

 

[Grant McCagg]

Can someone please explain how this is news?

Apparently Brandon Gallagher has also made the team...

He's Quebecois....seems to be important to some.

Gallagher is Québecois????, I knew it !

Interesting that DLR is still with the team. Great to see MB loves his two-way players rather than the one-way players that were better offensively than DLR.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Parenteau and Sekac should be switched. Eller and Sekac will not work together (offensively).

Agreed about the switch, but more because Parenteau won't work with Patch-DD. They need a power forward type winger that can win battles down low rather than a guy that needs to be passed the puck.

JDLR is not a two way player yet, he's already a solid defensive player, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

A solid defensive player that goes to the net and has some offensive awareness. Is that not a two-way player?

Potentially, if he produces offensively one day. His defensive play is the only concrete thing in his game.

 

[attachetatuque]

Pretty much; If Bergy can find a taker for Moen, then JDLR gets the last spot.

so you think Bergevin will have a 19 year old as a 13th/14th forward? Great idea

 

[Paddyjack]

Parenteau and Sekac should be switched. Eller and Sekac will not work together (offensively).

That's not what I would do. I would put Gally with DD and Max, Sekac with Pleky and Chucky, and MAP with Eller and Bourque. I don't believe in MAP on the first line but I have hope of being proven wrong.

 

[DJ Breadman]

I would assume DLR is going down, he doesn't look ready

i can't help but think that if management is serious about keeping DLR up, Eller and/or Bourque will be traded along with Moen (or if Moen can't be traded he'll be waived)

DLR would then be able to play on the third line.
