Joel Bouchard is probably losing it

At 25yrs old....why has he only played 3 NHL games?

 

[DangerDave]

He's been on a tear recently. He can't be any worst than Hudon.

 

[Tuggy]

Will he join Weal and Cousins on the PP?

Barber is a fine AHL player but that's probably about it.

 

[26Mats]

meh.

At least Poehling and Evans have been doing well recently in Laval. They have a realistic chance long term.

I like Varone's overall game better than Barber. But he's injured i think.

 

[LaP]

I don't know if i should laugh or cry. I guess at this point i should laugh. Called it this summer that the supposed AHL guys we signed would eventually play in the NHL.

Honestly Evans is 23 and a half and have not played a single NHL game yet. How the hell is he supposed to know what he should work on to become a bottom 6 NHLer? Same for Vejdemo who will be 24 soon.

I don't think Evans or Vejdemo will be NHLers (bottom 6) but Barber is certainly not either. Why not give those kids some games? Even training with the pros for a week without playing could be nice for them.

This pretty much confirms that Hudon will stay in Laval.

Yup. Been out for a while. The timing was bad when he got hurt because he started playing a lot better.

Good news is that he travelled with the team this weekend to Syracuse and Springfield. That indicates to me that he's getting closer to returning.

Bergevin you GENIUS

 

[crazyd74]

Good for him, he was a hot Rocket these last few games....but yikes...we may be icing:

Cousins - Domi - Weal
Tatar - Danault - Gally
Lehkonen - Suzuki - Armia
Peca - Thompson - Barber

This is scary.

Expansion team roster from another era

 

[Archijerej]

If the intention is to play him on Thompson's line, then Vejdemo would have probably been a better choice. Perhaps he'll be tried on Suzuki's wing instead of Weal. Barber's a better player than Hudon.

 

[NobleSix]

yippee

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hudon is officially done. Too bad, seems like his first season was his ceiling.

Evans or Vejdemo should have been the call but maybe they, for once, will develop players at their actual positions.

Wondering if Rangers had pity on us with that lineup.

god.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Can’t be worse than Hudon. So we’ll see the 4th line revolving door continues.

Evans and Vejdemo don't need to be in the NHL to know what they have to develop. Evans will see the NHL eventually, he might be 23 but he only has 1 season of pro hockey under his belt... Frequent scenario for NCAA players.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Should have been Evans or Vejdemo

 

[crazyd74]

I wonder if Vejdemo could be a fitting 4th line center. Any good on the dot (FO%)?

Let's imagine our middle line:
Suzuki
Danault
Kotkaniemi
Vejdemo

Our fourth "hustle" line could be:
Lehkonen - Vejdemo - Weal

 

[ahmedou]

That's it?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

That's it?

Did you expect Hudon
