Xavier Ouellet yep gotta lock in that 9th dman Bergy.... his 19 games at the start of last season did nothing but show he's not a capable NHL defender Yes...NHL teams need depth. Ouellet is exactly that. If they signed him long term for 2nd pairing money you'd have a point. This was a 1 year 2 way deal. Every team needs those 9th/10th defencemen over an 82 game season. None of us want our teams to need them. But 28 of 31 or so probably will and there's certainly not enough good ones to go around. |

Yeah he is signed for playing with Laval and then for Montreal if injuries pop up and the young kids aren't ready to be cannon fodder at the NHL level. EDIT - I feel so dirty, defending Bergevin. Ugggh! |

He is a very good AHL d-man who can fill in with the habs in case of injury. Not sure how anybody can paint this in a negative way...other than Bois... |
