dlbalr Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bouillon's back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 This is... odd. Makes sense if the market is too pricey. I guess he wasn't bad in Nashville for a sixth so hopefully he looks good with Kaberle. Signing a sixth when top fours are still out there tells me we're actually going to see a Bergevin trade soon.

Dalhabs Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Loved him last time he was here. His treatment of Tucker is almost legendary but is he still as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Always liked The Cube. Another quality depth signing...still waiting for that major move (which may not come for weeks, if it turns out that a trade is the only option).

HabsTrick450 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I used to love that guy, still do. Always give 100%, no matter what! A real leader in the dressing room, quebecer, the media will love him and will be a positive influence. Also, not too expensive! Good move.

From a Predators fan: I thought he sucked in the 1st half, got back to normal 2nd half and was great in the playoffs. Gotta remember he was coming off of a concussion from the previous season. He's worth what they're paying, if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Huh? Isn't Bouillon a LD? Emelin, Markov, Gorges (either side) Kaberle. This makes no sense. Possibilities of trades obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think D we're getting to expensive. But man we're getting grittier. Bouillon at 1.5 million is a insurance policy not ot rush any of our prospects. But he is very injury prone as Armstrong but both with some upside. Gorges and bouillon will have to play right D, I would be surprise to see the swiss cheese duo back. But what a D corp for Hamilton. Nash, Tinordi, Weber, Ellis etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Great - another #6/7 dman, instead of addressing the top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 These are stop gap measures until the talent comes up. You have Tinordi, Beaulieu, I'm forgetting the other good D prospect. Add Subban Emeil and Gorges in a few years then you have something. wideman got 5.5 mill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't like this.... we need a big top 4 dman, we have plenty of small #6/7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't like this.... we need a big top 4 dman, we have plenty of small #6/7s I like Beef Bouillon, but you and Habs29 are absolutely right - at some point we need to bag both a top-4 defender and a legitimate top-6 LW. And that's without even beginning to think about the questionable situation at C. I'm sure MB is as aware of these issues as we are, but whether he can settle them during the UFA frenzy, or even over the course of the whole summer - that's another question.

And that's without even beginning to think about the questionable situation at C. I don't think we are done at forward. There is still time, money and room to add one of those. But I do think we are done on defence. Thats why I hate this move, but still like Prust and Armstrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripes, man, either of those guys is a significant upgrade on whatever garbage we were throwing out there last season. Sign first, sort the details out later.

brobin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 We need a top 4 D and a top center, but it won't be easy. There are not many and most are going to go for too much money / term. It makes more sense to wait and trade for someone later, or wait for next year's crop. Sutter wants to make more next year then most owners make. Parise too. No thanks.

BCHabnut Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bam Bam was one of my favorites before, but I am not happy with the fact that he is a left defense. I don't want to see Emelin on the right side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 LOVE THAT CUBE! CUBISTS UNITE! I just love that guy. Pleasure to have him back. I don't know if it makes any sense, but I love having him back in the jersey he belongs in. Welcome back bouillon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see Emelin on the right side! We don't know the plan yet. He might be the LD 7th man insurance if Markov goes down, he might be taking Kaberle's spot after a trade or Therrien might have plans to move Gorges to the RD. With the glut of defenders we have right now it's not the time to decide what the lineup will be. We can only guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhab Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Looks like a top 4 d-man will have to come via trade, if thats in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 The Habs have just confirmed the signing (it took them until last night for Prust while Armstrong's still isn't officially signed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhab Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I like our current top 4 if, and I know its a big if, Markov can stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
