Drouin was too frail for the NHL.

Yup, guess people learned from RNH getting destroyed.

Yeah, he already has the talent for the big league, but he probably would have to bulk up...


But that's what we said of Giroux and Karlsson.

Edit: Yeah, just countered own argument.

STFU with ur stoopid hokey talk

The reason as to why under 20 players can't play in the AHL is because of an agreement to help the Junior teams keep the good players down there.

There are exceptions ( if a player doesn't belong to a Canadian Junior team)

as for the 9 game rules ? Not sure.. maybe they don't want to have a yo-yo situation from the NHL to juniors ?

The Jets are playing at 11:30 ??

wtf?
- Pecafan Fan

crims won't be up yet.

Does it ?

Get home, watch the game... and by the time the game is over, have a nice meal and spend the evening with the lady.

Makes everybody happy.

They decided to be patient with him.

And so far it looks like TB don't really need him, even if they lost Stamkos.

"...Latendresse devra aussi beaucoup réfléchir sur son avenir professionnel. Il devra se demander si, malgré ses 26 ans, malgré son potentiel immense, le temps n’est pas venu de prendre sa retraite. Déjà! Une réflexion qui pourrait donner bien des maux de tête à ce joueur au talent immense. "

- François Gagnon


IMMENSE!

Ok, proof right there that Latendresse has been sending cheques to RDS journalists all this time.

All Gagnon was saying is that Latendresse is fat. Immense.

Can't believe there are people who don't think St-Louis is HOF-bound.

The only thing he still needs to do before getting in is retiring.

Anyone not drafted out of the CHL can play in the AHL before 20 or before having completed 4 seasons.

He's preparing his L'Antichambre career.

I think aside from being slow he had pretty much all the tools. shame he didn't have the work ethic and that he was groomed improperly by the habs.

To be fair to him, the number of injuries he suffered sure didn't help him.

yeah, but you gotta wonder how many of those were maybe just not from being in top shape. concussions though, not much you can do about that.

Pretty sure that's related in part to the work ethic. Pulled his groin at every freaking training camp.

you ever had your groin pulled by a naked grown man?

Yeah that guy is a beast.

I don't think "beast" works in this case.

However he's amazing.
