I remember when Holloway, Semin and Kassian were gonna have a hard battle for second line duties. Good time.
Replaced with Weise, hudon and vrbata?

not sure how much better you can get then one of the best players in the AHL. The interesting part to me,
Our AHL Leading Scorers Last 3 years,
2014-2015 - Holloway
2013-2014 - Hensick
2012-2013 - St. Pierre
Each one was gone the next season. Would be nice if they could find one that can stick around more then 1 season to help with the youth. Assuming Dumont is gone as well, going to need some good veteran leaders up front.

Is Chris Bourque under contract?
he is, I believe he'll make 390K in the AHL next year.
Kids will have to show up. That's what Bergie wants, not to have vets to take place of kids....if he doesn't add up to this roster, he's counting on them to score. A lot. We'll see about that.
But I would add vets on D and F.

Good for him, i bet the money is better over there.
As montreal pointed out, it's kinda weird our top scorers GTFO from Lefebvre ASAP.
Holloway is an AHL/Euro player. Why do you think he only came over here at 28?
Smart move by him. He seemed too slow for the NHL based on his 1 game. But I would have liked to have seen him given more NHL time to see if he could adapt to the pace.
Therrien played him on the 4th line for 3 minutes or maybe it was 5. He is not a 4th liner, why call him up and put him there? Are we the LA Kings?
Can't blame MT personally, but it's not like he got much of a chance here anyways.Yup lets blame MT of course.
They weren't really fantasies. They're ideas put in our heads by the GM when he says that he's signed some guys and there also is interesting younger guys who could potentially filled up the top 6.We all had fantasies of Bud breaking out and being a 2nd liner but the truth is that he nothing more than a good AHL player.
Nobody expects him to be an elite 80pt player. Not even a 40pt player. People get frustrated when they see him be our AHL leader, but then get about 7 min of ice time when called up here for his only game.No surprise first thing when I saw this thread I knew that MT and eventually MB will be blamed for Bud not being an elite 80 pt superstar.
He will be missed in Saint Johns as he was a great veteran who produced. Big hole down there and with more of our youngsters getting a shot to play in the NHL next years team is going to have a talent problem.
