Is it mean of me to want Bouillon to fail miserably?

[mattyboy]

Honestly, he seems like a standup guy. personable. Management seems to love him.
It's just that, I see guys like Tinordi and Pateryn play last night and i just cant, and wont understand if we sign bouillon to take playing time away from our young guys who are showing they can make it.

I don't think we want Bouillon to fail. We want the kids to play. At some point we have to move on.

 

[Simerc]

Yes it is. And it's OK.

 

[ZARTONK]

Yes.

It's not mean. It's strategic. If he fails now, it's safer for everyone. We get a better young player developing and we're all spared his inevitable failure later when the games count.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Yes it is definitely mean, he'll already fail miserably on his own.

In all honesty, Bouillon seems like a great guy and works his ass off, but he just needs to retire already. Same situation with Darche, seemed like a great person and always worked his ass off.. but we just have so many better options.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Bouillon is a great guy but it's simply time to move on. Let him go and that's it. If he wants to continue his career elsewhere then good for him and if he is done and wants to retire they could offer him something in Hamilton to take care of the kids

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why is it mean to want Bouillon to do what he's done for the last 3 years of his career?

 

[PricePkPatch*]

It is. Bad karma dude; dont wish ill on others unless they wear gold and black.

Instead, just wish for the young Tinordi and Beaulieu to outplay him. Be positive!!

the fact we're treating this like we did Darche gives me hope we wont cave and give him a 1-way contract.
He seems well liked by everyone on the team but when he initially came back he said he wanted to retire as a hab. that was 2 years ago. Retire already Franky Boo.

 

[llamateizer]

if we sign Bouillon, its because Tinordi/Pateryn/Beaulieu are not ready for the NHL this season.
Bouillon is an insurance Policy.

 

[CH25]

Tinordi is ready. There is no use for Bouillon anymore.

 

[Uber Coca]

Lil' finger is telling me that Bouillon won't make the team and that this fanbase will find someone else to puke on.

Exactly. I don't like to hand over a roster spot to a kid. Put them in a competitive, yet realistic position in which they can earn their spot over someone else. Bouillon is an extremely realistic guy to outplay. In other words, you deserve to be in Hamilton if you can't outplay a 38 years old Bouillon.

Cubes has worn the CH with pride, fought many battles for this team. No way I want him to fail! With that said I believe he should realize that it is time to move on. Therrien is emotionally connected to Francis but Bergevin is not. He won't get signed I don't believe unless the three kids show they are not ready

 

[Andy]

Honestly, until people bring him up, I forget he's even there.

Well said. I dont want him to fail either. I just want to see the young guys step up and force Therrien's and Bergevins's hand.

 

[Power Man]

I thought it was mean

Then I remembered that Bouillon has been very mean to us by sucking

 

[viceroy]

Love the guy but...

Hey I think Bouillon's a great guy but his time is done. I want him off the team because he's beginning to hinder the team now but I definitely also want him to stay in the organization for life.

I think that he'd be a great replacement for Brisebois' old gig. Heck I'm pretty sure he'd be much better at it than old Breezer.

I want Bouillon's never give up attitude and hard work imprinted on our prospects. We should have guys like him and Hal Gill shepherding our youth.

 

[puckeater]

It's been said before, if he was 6 inches taller he'd have been a star player. No quit in him but his cap space and his roster spot is needed to feed the young. I think he will make excellent coach material.

 

[Jigger77]

Not if you'd be willing to say it to his face instead of hiding behind a keyboard.

 

[Le Tricolore]

It's not mean to want him to live up to his potential, no.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Enough is enough, it's time for Boullion to go.
Tinordi/Beaulieu/Nygren/Pateryn will do.

 

[Runner77]

Is it mean of me to want Bouillon to fail miserably?

Only if your wants and wishes have power to materialize, in which case, you might as well give us some lottery numbers.

Yeah, let's feel bad for a guy who has made millions and who doesn't have to work another day in his life. I'm sure we can all identify. Bouillon, GTFO. You're done.

 

[sharks9]

I would love for him to get a contract somewhere else, but we have so many young D and we can't delay their development for another year. I really hope they don't sign him
