Canadiens announce Nikita Scherbak is being returned to the WHL...this season,Everett. Quietly they were disappointed with the Rd 1st Pick.

Honestly I think he's talking right out of his ass. There was nothing disappointing about what the 18 years old accomplished.

Welcome to the Rogers days eh

 

[JohnLennon]

All expected. DLR, Sekac, Andrighetto all still in. John Shannon's tweet is weird. What does he actually know about the Habs? I thought Scherbak was very good.

[neil2005]

he's a Maple Leafs guy doesn't know **** about the habs try trying to stir up the pot. I wonder if he'll say the same thing when nylander gets sent back to Sweden.

All expected. DLR, Sekac, Andrighetto all still in. John Shannon's tweet is weird. What does he actually know about the Habs? I thought Scherbak was very good.

I'm pretty sure this guy has no clue and no legit sources.

Sportsnet. Gotta love it.

 

[Hoople]

Truly don't care. He quit on his teammates last year. Hope he goes back to Europe.

My sentiments exactly. He is nothing special and does not warrant any preferential treatment.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Bouillon still around despite being complete crap.

Of course. He's a veteran NHLer who showed up to camp with no contract.

Don't you think he deserves to at least be there until the end of camp?

 

[Habsfan18]

While I'm not saying Shannon is completely lying, it would just absolutely make no sense for the Habs to be disappointed by Scherbak..in his first professional training camp...as an 18 year old. No sense, whatsoever.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Definitely.

What Nygren did was really weak. He would have had to be truly lights out in his skill and performances to stick around.

To give preferential treatment to Nygren now after what he's done would send a terrible message to the other prospects who weren't cry babies.

Why not? The guy looks completely full of it.

As the old saying states: "Any publicity is good publicity."

No. Francis Bouillon ****ing sucks. Guy hasn't stood out.

The habs were quietly disappointed in him. Meaning that they wouldn't go and say he sucked, but they wanted to see more from him.

In which case.... He's lying.

 

[JT3]

I thought Scherbak played for Saskatoon, or did he get traded? Or is that guy just dumb and didn't even get the right team

[Et le But]

I really don't care what Nygren did in Hamilton. That team was a circus with a coach who should have been sacked at least a year ago.

The thing is, he just might not be that good.

Though I'd rather see him get a chance than Francis ****ing Bouillon.

You're looking at things in a really one dimensional manner but in the real world, that's not how it works.

For the habs, it's a bonus. A positive thing. I know we're all worried that he'll be playing again this year but it won't happen. Like you said, he sucked and we have better players. But for him to come to camp without a contract gave us a safety net in case ALL of our prospects sucked, and in case of injuries and considering that Bouillon already had to swallow his pride to come to camp without a contract, then the least we can do is give him the full camp. It's the respectful thing to do. It doesn't cost anything, so why not?

Tweet when Nylander gets cut:
Nylander extremely impressive to Leafs management but can't crack elite Leafs club.

But Bouillon was the spearhead of our offense against the Avs!

I'm pretty sure the respectful thing to do would be to release him to allow him to find a job somewhere else.

I was gonna say that

Subban also finished his first game at -2 and had a 3pts night

Give Bouillon a 8M contract too!

 

[Cole Caulifield]

I'm pretty sure that Bouillon is fully aware that this is a long shot at best and he is going in knowing this. His kids are going to school here apparently, and his family wants to stay here. He's holding unto that 1% chance IMO.
