I hope for his sake, he retires. Hes won a cup. Made enough to live off of in salary. Go enjoy your life Shaw with your family. Don't take more risks with your brain

OK Mr. Little, just relax a bit.

Your grasping at straws anrt you.

Fonstad is definitely a LW in the pros. Hillis is a C or a wing. Think McShane should end up on wing due tonskating but hasnt played there. In any event Fonstad and Hillis are close to me at 1-2n probably Hillis a small bit ahead. McShane is clear third. Id sign the first two. Mcshane would only get a contract if i had extra room. Im fine with not signing him

More from Brunet - on his Facebook page, he posted some of the stuff that didn't make it into the article. Most notably, Bergevin indicated that they're only likely to sign one of Cam Hillis, Cole Fonstad, Allan McShane, or Samuel Houde by June 1st. He didn't say who but Hillis would have to be considered the favourite to get a contract.

Say what you like about Timmins, but his inability to draft a single elite forward in 15 years as chief scout is pretty appalling. MB can spew all the verbal diarrhea about 'luck' that he likes, but at some point it's not luck any more, it's something deeper than that.

I like the idea of the extra year but generally speaking, I feel that way about just about every college prospect that isn't projected to be an elite star. He should be able to produce enough to be a legitimate top-six forward and be a strong power play threat. Space will be a concern at times which is why I think his PP production will be a bigger element for him than it is for most of Montreal's roster. For his size, his skating isn't great but he's not a plodder by any stretch; he'll be able to keep up. He's just not someone like Byron whose speed is a key element to his game. Caufield has had a few ups and downs this year which is still better than most of Wisconsin's roster which has been mostly downs. I'd be very interested to see how things improve next season if they return that entire young core. How much could being in a winning environment help his game? I think his numbers could really improve if he sticks around for one for one more year.

A really good read from a lengthy interview with Bergevin: https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/hockey/202002/29/01-5262860-marc-bergevin-la-transparence-du-dg.php Some highlights: - They'll ask Caufield to stay in Wisconsin for next year but if he wants to turn pro, they won't stop him. - They expect Romanov to come over for next season and envision him as a 24, 25 minute a game guy in a few years from now. The idea of bringing Kovalchuk back for next season seems to be with Romanov in mind with Bergevin saying "He's going to be good for Romanov". (Bergevin also reiterated that he's not a big fan of the UFA market.) - Poehling is envisioned as the 3C of the future. - They'll decide on Jordan Harris' future (turn pro or not) at the end of the season.

Apparently discussions in Trois-Rivieres are progressing well, with the likeliest scenario being UQTR and an ECHL team sharing the use of the Colisée. https://www.lenouvelliste.ca/sports/steve-turcotte/le-plan-a-la-cohabitation-6d53d8654ef1da2983b15fe5222d4dda
