You’d see Pominville as a 4th liner with a coach like Julien who loves his veteran players?
I do. This is the Julien who scratched Plekanec and Alzner last year in favor of younger players like Domi, Kotkaniemi, and Peca at center and Mete and Reilly on LD.
IF he earns himself a contract, I could see Pomminville on the Bottom-6 and possibly even a healthy scratch some nights. And when he's in the line-up, will get PP time. If he doesn't earn a contract, then okay.
Guaranteed that would happen. Some local demagogues posing as media hacks believe nationality and language spoken are hockey skills. Add Mario Languesale, Philippe Cantin and Reggie Tremblay to the list.
They can write and broadcast all they want. I don't think the organization cares how much they want to promote the local players. It didn't work for Hudon, Deslauriers, and Ouellet last year.
They don't care about how much they complain and always asking about not drafting french players and all of that.
MB won't sign Pomminville to a contract because Cantin writes an article pushing for it or because JiC will talk about it on TVA Sports non-stop every day.
