The Canadian is doing badly.
Following his defeat yesterday, he finds himself in 32nd place in the NHL, which is not exactly what the members of the CH had in mind when starting the season.
You shouldn’t really dream about the series, but…
All this to say that everyone in town is looking for solutions: the fans, the people who cover the club, the players, the coaches… and the members of management.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have cards in their hands that no one else has: those that allow them to make transactions or even recall players from Laval.
But apart from Logan Mailloux (just waiting for the injured to return) and Lucas Condotta, it hasn’t been the call-up festival in town since the start of the regular season.
And in an interview with Eric Engels, from the Sportsnet network, the CH CEO explained that there is a reason why the club’s big hopes (we can think of Owen Beck, Joshua Roy or Alex Barré-Boulet, even if it is not a hope) are still down.
It’s important for us to win at each level and we want to give them the chance to do it in Laval. – Kent Hughes on his hopes
This isn’t the first time he’s said it, but Hughes reiterated that he doesn’t want to sacrifice/mortgage the future to improve in the short term. And with everything going wrong, both in terms of performance and injuries, it would take a big mortgage to bring CH #DansLeMix back.
So in the meantime, CH is a bit “caught” in the current situation – for better and for worse.
On the one hand, I respect the process of telling ourselves that hope cannot remain too much long down. But on the other hand, if a young person is ready to play in the NHL and the CH has room for him, we shouldn’t make him look too stupid down there.
We must also hope, in the name of victory, that the GM will not choose to send Lane Hutson for a ride to the end of the orange line. I don’t think it will be sold, obviously, but by reading Eric Engels’ text, we understand the importance of development at the CH.
In burst
– Interesting.
– Speaking of the Rocket: no changes expected in the lineup this evening.
– People want Salt Lake City club jerseys… even though they won’t be relevant when the club has a real name.
– Oh yes?
– Hum…
– Justin Barron a 23 ans.
