I imagine he was being shopped for sure. Just like Chartier & Omeri.
One guy I could see on the trade block. If his play doesn't pick up by the end of the month is Brown. I know a lot of people probably don't want to hear that. But he has been disappointing up to this point with only 3g and 8pts through 20 games. I'm not saying we should move him at least not now. But if he doesn't pick it up by the end of the month I think the team needs to have the conversation about maybe moving him.
He just turned 17. There's 0 chance they'd move him. 0.
Yeah that's not why they aren't having as many players drafted compared to past seasons.
I am afraid I'll have to disagree, unless you have an explanation backing up your comment
There's a whole laundry list of things ranging from smaller player pool, to costs, to development models, to just being in a rut that will naturally end. None of them have anything to do with weird stereotypes about Francophone Canada.
(Comme tu veux, ça m'y est égal). I am not going to argue, nationality has absolutely nothing to do with how QMJHL players develop their talents. Besides, they draw players from NF, PEI, NB, NS and North Eastern States, and even some from Ontario
Then why in the world did you say that they play with more emotions and less technically? You understand those are things people say to disparage French Canadians as hockey players right? YOU are the one that brought it up. If 80+% of the league is made of Quebecois players, who do you think you are referring to when you say they play with more emotion? And in this case equating emotion with being a bad thing. Its so weird.
Not so my friend, that is just who they are and how they play the game, nothing to do with stereotypes at all. The question was asked was "is the Q that much different". I answered, you had a different opinion, and I asked you to explain your answer. I respectfully disagree again. The subject of nationality came up, and I respectfully disagree again. It is how they developed through years from their region or in their hockey learning environment, not from what is in their blood or minds.
Not well. Lost 7 of the last 8 games. The team's been very shorthanded lately. Our top d-pairing (Fischer and Bodin) has been out for the large majority of those eight games. Di Iorio and Edwards have been out for the past six games because they were away at the U17s. Wainwright got suspended last weekend and isn't eligible to return until tomorrow. It's been a very frustrating couple of weeks.
