Decent size for a 17+ yr-old ... 6'3", 184 lbs He turns 19 in a couple of weeks, I believe. I suspect you were looking at Jack Parsons. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 That's four kids from Kitchener in the top six! They were expected to be in a rebuilding year but they are on fire early in the season. A great environment for Mesar to be playing in, hopefully they will be able to maintain this pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really - I really don’t want him to keep getting instigator and game misconducts. He needs to work on becoming a better all round player, rather than just being an enforcer.

DON Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Fowler 2g 33shots Tie; 7-2-1 2.18 0.924% Tuch 2a, 12pts in 10games Hutson 1g(8) 4 shots; 11pts in 9games and another fun game to watch him do what he does. (Celebrini isnt too bad and might look "OK" in a Habs jersey, just poor Jake Evans would have to sell his # to him.) Tuch is big and solid checker, but he just isnt quick enough skater, it seems. I assume he & Hutson will get offered contracts and see how they do in Laval next spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Hutson will be a question of whether he is physically ready to go pro ... he or the team ***may*** decide he needs another year at BU to focus on building body-mass and strength.

I would 'guess' odds of him staying in college past the frozen-four are slim (unless he plans on stay full 4 years is no advantage, he is already skating circles around many NCAA opponents) and we will likely see him in a couple AHL games and/or world championships.

Good late draft pick by the GM not to be named on this board Just imagine had he fired Lefebvre earlier? The lack of development was one of the previous regime's biggest failures. Lack of prospect graduation isn't solely on scouting and drafting, it's also on development staff, which was also the responsibility of the GM. I mean seriously, move on. Bergevin is gone. He did some good, did some bad. He's not worth the vitriol he gets, nor is he someone that needs constant defending. Your comment would've been fine without the little dig toward the fanbase that wasn't happy with the previous GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you simply credited Bergevin by name for potentially selecting a nice late round player, that's much different. Anyway, I don't sit around thinking about how awesome Gauthier was for selecting Gallagher. You have been a staunch defender of Bergevin, probably moreso than any other user on the site. Instead of perpetuating the dialogue around the former GM, and taking a stab at users on the board, it is ok to credit a player, GM, and development staff for working hard and having success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good late draft pick by the GM not to be named on this board He can be named in this board, but his bad picks out weighed his good ones. Even if he did make a good pick, he usually failed at developing them (List is VERY long), or keeping the good ones (Sergechev). a GM not only needs to pick the right guy (he who shall not be named failed miserably), and develop those picks (batting close to 0).
