Pretty sure he has to go through waivers.

As for the article, I hope to God Bournival isn't the solution on the 3rd line RW.

Why? He's still a kid and could very well progress and get better for another 1-3 years. If he gets, let's say, 10% better each year for the next 2, that would make him a very attractive 3rd line RW, imo.

Tim Bozon vient de faire son arrivée. Il a regagné pratiquement tout le 40 livres de muscles qu'il avait perdu. #Habs


Translation:
Tim Bozon just arrived. He has almost regained all the 40 pounds he had lost.

who's the other player on that picture?

Just adding to this: if someone manages to recognize the 3rd player in that picture by only his legs, that person should probably take a step back from following Habs prospects. :laugh:

I don't see him ever becoming more than a bottom-line player offensively. He's lacking finish big time.

An article by MAG in La Presse.

Not as deep as some specialize websites about prospects, but he raises some basic and rational points.

I find the part about the "open forward spot" particularly interesting and could bring some of us on earth. There is no open spot, just a possibility of carrying one more forward if a kid absolutly makes himself too valuable, which is way different than having kids fighting for a pseudo open spot...

The last part about tryouts is also interesting. Gadoury is an intriguing invite. We don't know much about him, and his results are based on a very small sample, but still, he must have some skills to be able to have those numbers...

Philippe Gadoury: 20 goals in 19 games, and 12 goals (25 pts) in 16 PO games !

People are gonna say he only produced because of Drouin. Not all true..

There are times where you can confuse Gadoury with Drouin. He has unbelievable hands and knows where to find soft spots on the ice. Hes not as fiesty and his vision isn't as good but he's a more natural finisher than Drouin was for the Mooseheads.

Guy was such a pleasant surprise. He's very skilled with the puck on his stick

This - the Mooseheds PP was all but non-existent until Gadoury arrived IMO.

What's impressive is by how much he beat the other guys. I remember topping at 12 when I did it, and was pretty damn exhausted. Couldn't imagine doing 2.5 more.
