so, does he have good attitude?

 

[Adam Michaels]

YES!!!! Was just coming to post this. Very happy!

Next: Galipeau and Schuldt. And possibly Robby Jackson.

[Captain Mountain]

Good news. The team should be gambling on guys in their own backyard.

 

[Nevins]

so, does he have good attitude?

I think he won the Trophy for best student and hockey player in the LHJMQ .

 

[Vachon23]

now sign Galipeau

 

[Prairie Habs]

So when is he ready for the big time? Probably next year or definitely next year?

NO PRESSURE!!!!

I think he won the Trophy for best student and hockey player in the LHJMQ .

Yes he did. Joel Bouchard was on french radio last week praising the kid for being great on and off the ice. He's studying to go into medicine if I recall correctly. And that the kid has 90s and Joel said that even if hockey doesn't work out, he will have a great career in medicine. All this while being captain and always there for his teammates and the organization.

It would be nice to develop the next Yanni Gourde

 

[QuebecPride]

That signature has Joel Bouchard all over it.

 

[Laurentide]

So if it turns out he can't play hockey he can always become the next team doctor.

Great signing. No risk. Like somebody said, doesn’t hurt to gamble on pieces in our own back yard

 

[Harpo]

I guess they never would've signed him if it wasn't for the Barre-Boulet backlash.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Evans, Bitten, Alain, Pezzetta, and Verbeek. Maybe they will sign Cale Fleury as he's eligible to play AHL next year. Hopefully Galipeau and Schuldt. Laval can have a very different look next year.

They need to deepen the prospect pool every way possible. Through the draft and through undrafted signings.

Whatever it takes.

They invited him to a development camp

So that's not necessarily true.

Alain was on their radar before Barré-Boulet entered into consciousness for most.

Center, over 6’, a little over a PPG his last 2 seasons, though he was older. I believe he was captain his last year. No issues with this signing and worth a shot for sure.

 

[Habaneros]

welcome to the Habs org.....



Best of luck .

 

[Vachon23]

boof he was at the rookie camp.. it's been a longtime that the Habs has been watching him

 

[Andrei79]

Great signing.

I like his scoring instincts.

 

[Laurentide]

I guess they never would've signed him if it wasn't for the Barre-Boulet backlash.

What backlash? One segment on Marinaro's show is all the backlash I ever heard about "L'Affaire Barre-Boulet"

 

[Habaneros]

Great signing.

I like his scoring instincts.

Is scoring really overrated? Maybe we get shutout at the draft , shutout in UFA market and then get shutout 18 times next year over 82 games...
