dlbalr Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The Habs have dealt Tim Bozon to Florida for minor league defenceman Jonathan Racine. Racine was on waivers last weekend and went unclaimed. http://www.habsworld.net/2016/10/habs-trade-tim-bozon-to-panthers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGC21 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Awesome trade...? So from the 2012 draft, all MTL has left is Galchenyuk and Hudon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Bozon is pretty much a non-prospect at this stage. He's a top six or bust type of player and he's not good enough to be a top six guy in the AHL let alone the NHL. I think he was well on the way towards being non-qualified next June. That said, Racine is also a non-prospect but St. John's defence depth was pretty weak (and that was with Barberio being added surprisingly). He'll have more of an impact for the IceCaps than Bozon would have this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pushes Thrower down to about 9th on St. John's depth chart (10th if you put Jeremie Blain ahead of him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he does anything more than st. Johns though. I think the bigger need is on the right side in St. John's at the moment. Barberio, Samuelsson, Hanley, Parisi, and now Racine are on the left with Johnston, Lernout, Didier, Thrower, and Blain on the right. One of those groups is a whole lot better than the other. At the very least, they have options which is a whole lot better than a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 too bad about Bozon I was hoping for him to come back and turn some heads but it was not to be. Best of luck Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I don't have much to report back about Racine. He played one game when the Cats were a disaster and I don't recall him or his play even though there was a 3/5 chance I saw him play. If it was a home game. He's never made any noise, but this is a nothing trade anyways. Hopefully he can help St. Johns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you even say he was giving a chance under that wacko? edit: why did my name change? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
