That is caracter,to many time with the players 2000-2005 the guys on ice don't have a caracter and yes if you have a caracter on ice you have a good chance to have that out side the rink,no probleme with that.I understand you is not very happy because he was traded for Shawinigan,but this year bouurret mist you,
Bourret being traded has nothing to do with my analysis. He's got the talent. I wrote going in the first nine is not too early. On another thread I wrote he is NHL capable this year. At least physically. The
only reason he wouldn't go that early would be because of his attitude. Or at least the league's belief about his attitude. I said a team will have to take a chance on his maturity and attitude is because that is his only downside.
Personally, I really hope the kid matures, gets picked early and does well for himself. I would love nothing more than to see him succeed. But the knock on his attitude does have merit. It wasn't one disagreement with someone in the organization one time. It was far too common. If his reaction to going to Shawinigan is close to what some have heard, he still needs to mature.
To be positive for a moment, his attitude issues did not affect his fan relations. He was a fan favorite and was always accomodating when they approached him.
You are right body, as a fan, I will certainly miss watching him play
