C Will Bitten (2016, 70th, MTL; traded to MIN; traded to STL)

I liked Gordeev, his goal against Kingston the other night was ridiculous.

As for Bitten, he seems stoked to be coming to Hamilton and I hope he slots in next to Entwistle to start.

This guy demanded a trade so he could speak more french?
Genius
RDS will love him

That's his first language...

 

[MXD]

Doubt he'll be speaking much French in Hamilton. Granted since he's such a great student maybe he's pre-med at Mac......

Realistically, it was a decent claim to try to spin why he wanted to go to Ottawa, finally reality set in and he had to move on with his career. Anything was better than Flint. But I doubt he would of gone to Sudbury, even if he could of taken French couses at Laurentian, as that Franchise is #2 on the mess scale among OHL franchises. Hamilton should be interesting, could be big boon for Matthew Strome who has had a decent start to the year. Not surprised a trade was hard to workout, I don't see many parents enthused with there kid going to Flint, even if it meant more ice-time.

It seems McMaster is apparently well-known for its programs in French, or something like that. So while he won't be speaking lots of French IN Hamilton, he could probably start his university in the language of his choice.

What programs does McMaster offer in French? I am aware of it having a french department. But I wasn't aware of it offering university studies in French.

A few.

Those are just different degrees offered by the French department (honours, major, minor, etc). They look similar to what would be offered by the French department at most universities.

Glad this is over. Now he can start focusing at playing hockey.

Does anyone watch Hamilton? Is there room as a pivot for Bitten?

He's likely the first line centre.

His wingers will likely be two of Matthew Strome, Matt Luff, and MacKenzie Entwhistle.

Hearing he's starting on the second line with Fox and Entwistle.

Was mostly joking, but the jist I got was he wanted to take his degrees in French (aka take Poli-Sci, Engineering in French) and not get a French degree. But whatever, its over with. Excited to see what he can do in Hamilton, they were part of a goal fest yesterday.

Sure, cause the first line had an incredible weekend last week with Niki Pett at centre. You can't break that up while they are hot, you ride it for as long as it stays hot.

Once things cool down, he will replace Petti.

Petti is an overager who scored 47 points in 60 games as a 19 year old.
Bitten scored 65 in 67 as a 17 year old.

He'll be the first line centre soon enough.

 

[shotvalley]

Bitten is not producing as expected. Whats wrong with him?

 

[monsieurthibz]

Anybody on Bitten?

 

[Tim Raines]

Anybody on Bitten?

Keep hearing and reading his nickname should be "snake" (as in snake bitten). But I did see him live once and felt he was out of sorts all night. He was kept to the periphery all night and wasn't using teammates well that night.

Everything I read though suggests just bad luck.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Just scored the winner in a wild game in London, then added the empty netter. Also had an assist earlier.

Hopefully this gets him going.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

9 points in his last 4 games, including 5 goals. Digging himself out of the deep early season hole (33 points in 38 games on the season).

 

[John B]

Ottawa vs Hamilton today on sportsnet for anyone that wants to see Bitten play. 3:30pm in southern ontario.

 

[KevSkillz4]

He is pretty good.

 

[LeafChief]

This guy had a lot of hype coming into his draft year. Especially with all of the Flint nonsense.

 

[sharks9]

Getting better as the season goes on, seems to be flying under a lot of people's radar's as a prospect. We'll see how well he adjusts to the AHL next year

 

[Caser]

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Having a real impressive playoffs so far and has a chance at the Calder Cup.

Is he ever Snake Bitten?
