Used to play for Guy Boucher.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Dang, the Tampa boards are really torn up about this.




Ohwait, no, I misread. There's not even a mention of him going on waivers.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Used to play for Guy Boucher.

Obviously thats how things work here.

 

[TheNewEra]

incoming top line of dumont-thompson-pyatt

lets gooooooooooooo

 

[Tundraman]

This pickup just shows why most of us will never be an NHL GM.
Another smallish 4th liner who doesn't score much at the pro level originally drafted by MTL as was their style no less. He's pretty tough too remember he fought Chris Wideman to a near draw. Obviously just what the Sens needed!!! Kudos to Dorion for this gem find!

 

[bert]

Grabbing this guy instead of giving the young guys a chance sucks. There is clearly no offensive upside to his game and he is small. Rather have Paul in the lineup I guess thats it for his chance with the sens.

 

[BondraTime]

Guy Boucher guy. He loved him in Drummondville. Not much of an NHL player (as in he isn't)

We are quickly going down the road of Boucher's usual tenures.

 

[JoVel]

He won't bring much offense to you, if any, but nice depth player who'll bring energy with his hits. Good player to have around if you're into that.

 

[DJB]

Literally no nothing about him.

I guess if hes tenacious that's good. Hopefully he has good wheels because he is small

 

[tony d]

Good depth signing, hoping that's all it is. Let's give our young guys a chance first.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

I don't mind this. We currently have a full roster with Chabot, Dido, Paul and Harpur as call-ups. We've dipped a lot into Belleville and having a guy who can play spot duty never hurts.

I don't expect to see too much of him, anyways.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Good depth signing, hoping that's all it is. Let's give our young guys a chance first.

The whole purpose of this move is to make sure our young guys won't get a chance.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Dumont is coming in to be a savioir

 

[DJB]

Why not just bring up McCormick? Bigger and pkays physical

Here's Matt Duchene's new duo partner for 2017-18

 

[Korpse]

I like how the theme last year was that Lazar was rushed but we are a quarter through this season and there’s zero patience as we wait for the younger players to get a shot.

 

[SensAreReligion]

Don't hate this one bit. Good 4th line guy who knows the system

 

[God Says No]

I think they've been patient enough with Paul. It's time to see what he's made of. If Dumont plays ahead of him, then that will be the wrong move.

 

[BondraTime]

It's really a nothing move. He fills a roster hole in the lineup.

If anything, it speaks more about Max McCormick and Nick Paul, not sure why Paul isn't being given more of a shot.

McCormick on a 1-way still baffles me

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Don't hate this one bit. Good 4th line guy who knows the system

Just cuz he didn't it for Boucher 10 years ago doesn't mean he can do it now in the best hockey league in the world.

I'll wait and see to see what this guy can bring. But yeah. I'm pretty sure we have young guys that can do the job.

 

[bert]

Why not just bring up McCormick? Bigger and pkays physical

McCormick is absouletly terrible he isnt bigger or more physical. If there is a bright side to this deal its that we wont see McCormick.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I remember when Hoffman was on waivers we need to claim a guy like that on the waiver wire

 

[Micklebot]

I think this has more to do with ensuring the prospects that need more development time can stay down in Belleville; they're getting pretty depleted with Didomenico, Paul, Harpur and Chabot all up with the big team; this allows us to send Paul back down where he'll get 15-20 mins a night instead of 7.

I don't expect much, though he had quite the season in Drummondville as an 18 yr old.

Paul needs to play in the NHL. Its time to bring him up he is actually big and physical which is something this team lacks big time. I am not sure how he can earn the coachs trust if he never gives him a chance. Boucher is over coaching this season its very evident. This is why players tune him out and this is why his shelf life as a coach is so short.
