Rene Bourque waived

Re: Rene Bourque waived

I'm a little surprised, like Josh, that's there's no market for him. He's not doing well but he seems like the type of guy who could really use a change of scenery and would be a decent complimentary player for a couple years. I'm not surprised he cleared waivers, though. I'm sure a team would want to send at least some salary back if they're taking a gamble.

It's crazy to think that, no matter what the reason, he has not scored more than 16 points since 2010-11. Wow.

Yeah.

I don't really think he's in any position not to otherwise his NHL career will be done for good. Bergevin challenged him before the season and he failed by continuing to not show any effort. This is all on Bourque.

Will he report to Hamilton?

Re: Rene Bourque waived

And he cleared. That's the player he has become. Bergevin challenged him and Bourque didn't respond.

He's too lazy.

Sekac replaced him. I doubt anyone claims him and his salary, tbh. Maybe a team with an internal budget, but even then...

Re: Rene Bourque waived

I can't imagine he'll clear? Someone must want him.

I am surprised.

He couldn't even get us a mid-round pick, wow.
