– Xavier Bourgault was rejected by Kent Hughes…

– Depending on what is being traded in Edmonton…

– The Quebecers were offered a first-round pick and an undesirable salary.

– By Josh Anderson…

– Kent Hughes refused without even thinking about it.

– CH leaders view Bourgeault as…a plumber…

-And it looks like the Oilers too…

– now…

– Bourgeault talks… like a plumber…

“McDavid and Draisaitl can jump on the ice and decide to score a goal. But you need depth on the team. Yes, I am an offensive player, but I can also generate rhythm by being good in the opposition zone. I can debut on the third line and earn my place.” Easily.

“My number one goal is to have a good camp. Last year I didn’t have the camp I hoped for. I feel like I’ve taken steps in the right direction since last year.”

“I would like to play in the rookie camp in Penticton, British Columbia. I know it is not easy to win a forward position in Edmonton. But if you want to find a spot one day, you have to do your best to get there.

“If I can have a good camp and a good start to the season in the MLS, I would definitely like to play some games with the Oilers thanks to the call-ups.”

“In my first season in Bakersfield, I finished fourth in team scoring with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 62 games. I was disappointed, but in the end it’s not that bad.”

“Yes, that’s the right way to describe my first season. I also saw it as learning. This summer I feel like I’ve taken another step in the right direction.”

“There is a big difference between professional hockey and junior hockey. I need to focus more on the details.”

“I had the opportunity to play shortstop. “I wanted to improve that aspect of my game. Offensively, I can create more things. However, I focused a little more on my defence. I think a more complete game will help me when I want to move to Edmonton.

. “In my first camp with the Oilers, I didn’t know Connor outside the rink. You quickly see that he’s serious and professional. He’s one of the best in the world and that’s no coincidence. He has great attention to detail. In training, I like to watch him just to see his speed, the way The way he moves, the way he reads the game.

But you will never play with him…

– The third or fourth trio…at best…

– Kent Hughes did a good job of saying no.

– Let’s hope Anderson wakes up… and that we can replace him with a real talented player.

Not a plumber…
