RDS: Bouillon coming back ?

Cool guy and all but they put feelings ahead of the team here..

 

[Jazzped]

Give him 500k to hang out with the boys at Brossard as a consultant to "help & teach" the rookies, I don't care... Just don't waste a roster spot AND some of the cap left for him, please...

A little respect for a true professional would be nice. The guy was solid for a long time and didn't complain when benched. I don't want to see Bouillon being the default choice ahead of our rookies, but if he's willing to be more of a mentor than player - fine. With so much hanging on Tinordi, Beaulieu, Pateryn and (maybe) Nygren, we could really use a vet taking on a teachable role.

A vet yes but we all know Therrien loves him he'll get more play time that what he deserves. I'd take McBain. Morris, Salo or Delzotto before the cube.

 

[Analyzer*]

No.

This will be an idiotic move. There are better dman out there than this useless ****. Keep him away from the team.

And we all know he'll play more than 20-30 games.

 

[wedge]

Beaulieu. Tinordi, Nygren, Pateryn...
4 D better than him.

[JLP]

Need a partner for Subby

[habamillions]

Please god no.

I'd rather we take a chance with either or both of Nygren and Drewiske before Frankie at this point.

oh ****. i forgot about drewiskie

The problem with Bouillon has never been the player, but his usage. He's fine as a #7-#8 depth guy, but MT is way too attached to him. When he does get inserted into the lineup, MT over-extends his usage and importance.

He's been a good soldier, but I'd rather move away so that I don't have to see MT insert him in the lineup and lean on him when he shouldn't.

 

[Adam Spylo]

Why? It makes no sense.

Subban, Markov, Emelin, Gilbert, Tinordi, Beaulieu, Weaver, Pateryn, Nygren, Drewiske, Ellis, Dietz should be enough.

 

[Hullois]

Bergevin loves depth at D a lot... the move is OK if Therrien understands he's a #8, which I don't have much faith in.

I agree he would be a perfect assist. coach

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Why would Bouillon come in on a teaching role when he was never good to begin with and his hockey IQ and positioning is arguably his worst aspect?

****ing cronyism man.

I'd rather have Komisarek back.

edit: I REMEMBER TEN YEARS AGO WHEN BOUILLON WAS FISHING PUCKS OUT OF THE NET REGULARLY. HE'S AWFUL.

 

[DenverHabsFan]

We're only allowed to exceed our height cap by 10% over the summer so MB has to bring it down before the season starts.

 

[crazyd]

Always was a Cube fan. Has been underated many times.

But c'mon even last year was becoming a stretch.

Give him Brisebois' old job, that would make sense!

 

[mattef]

Nygren and Pateryn are 24 years old and both ready for a legitimate chance in the NHL. They are even ahead of Tinordi and Beaulieu. They just don't have the "1st round draft pick" label.

 

[MauriceTheGreat*]

Absolutely no respect for a guy that gave it all and he's probably gonna be dead last on the depth chart.

Yes and yes. Bouillon was like a friggin' Timbit -- Therrien thought he could limit the guy's ice time, but ended up getting fat on Bouillon-glaze.

Make Bouillon into a healthy side dish for the rookies and we'll be fine.

who cares about what he did 8 years ago?

 

[Blind Gardien]

I refuse to believe the Habs are even considering it.

Negative examples are very powerful.

You had to dig a clip from 8 years ago, which has nothing to do with his (limited, terrible) on-ice abilities as a positive example?

The guy's done, he was going to retire TWO YEARS AGO.

Yes and yes. Bouillon was like a friggin' Timbit -- Therrien thought he could limit the guy's ice time, but ended up getting fat on Bouillon-glaze.

Nygren and Pateryn are 24 man, if they don't get a chance now, they never will. It's not fair to them, they're owed a chance.

Kinda like Wayne Gretzky's coaching career: projecting old VHS tapes of his highlights and grumbling when his players wouldn't do it.

The job was given to Rob Ramage

Heck i am just trying to remind how of a warrior cube is. Who cares if he's the 8th defencemen? He is not nearly as bad as people on this board believe.
