Association of the East Atlantic Metropolitan Association of the Central Pacific Western Languages Boucher: the Kent Hughes effect, yes!

Before closing their testing seven games by being an easy prey for the Minnesota Wild, the Canadians had collected at least one point in each of their previous three outings.

We can talk about the Kent Hughes effect.NOTo kidding.We use the expression with humor or we turn it in derision, but it really exists the effect of novelty.It is human nature, a normal phenomenon linked to any change, in the same way as uncertainty causes floating.

The arrival of the new boss for five years comes to note everyone's alert level.We realize that there is now someone in place who will make decisions.We tell ourselves that we must be at best if we want to impress it, whether to stay in the team or the NOTHL.

It is the great period of hearings.We want to be in the good graces of the new 'boss'.Tyler Toffoli striker has understood this because he has been arrows of all wood since his return to the game, in the first match in the DG post.This is the attitude that we want to see of a veteran wishing to be part of the solution.

Other veterans, such as defender Jeff Petry, have not shown the same eagerness.I wonder what's going on with him, but that does not seem to click between coach Dominique Ducharme and him.

Hughes' first task is to make a head on the future of important cogs.He must see if he can re-energy the Toffoli, Petry, Josh Anderson, Brendan Gallagher and Carey Price.It is sometimes preferable to relaunch a veteran rather than exchanging it.Healthy Canadians remain a good team with the elements they have.

After making a head, Hughes will train his club, give him the direction he wants and take the means to achieve his ends.

Supporters will have to be patient because the DG will be patient. La LNOTH, ce n'est pas comme dans les ligues juniors.We cannot rebuild by exchanging 12 players in a short time to go to the Memorial Cup.He will set the more pressing files, like that of defender Ben Chiarot who sells his last contractual season.For everything else, he will carefully analyze the situation.

Patience is also required with regard to the progression of young people. NOTick Suzuki n'a pas encore atteint son plein potentiel.It's the same for striker Cole Caufield and goalkeeper Cayden Primeau, you have to give them time.

Afterwards, Hughes will focus on the evaluation of the coach and the recruitment department.He will certainly see to put under contract the two American hopes in defense Jayden Struble and Jordan Harris, who could obtain the status of autonomous player at the end of the season.

He will not lack bread on the board, but he will pass through taking small bites.

What to think of the Oilers?

The fire is taken in Edmonton.The oilers watered him a little by winning on Saturday, but it still burns.The situation is frustrating for supporters and for the organization.We have two concession players, but we are unable to have success on a regular basis.

All the seasons, we say that the Oilers will take off.But it doesn't raise.It is not the fault of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid.

Oilers have failed to supervise them, among other things through the draft, in recent seasons.It's easy to recover exceptional Draisaitl and McDavid caliber.We should have seen the basin of hopes in defense and in front of the goal, instead of opting for attackers.

The breaches are less obvious to always try to clog them on the market for autonomous players.

Some observers are made to think that the Oilers should separate their two -headed monster.Not me.Oilers will lose all transactions involving one of their big guns.We may say that Wayne Gretzky has already been exchanged, but that would be the last thing I would envisage to do in place of the Oilers.

Congratulations Ms Castonguay

Finally, I applaud the appointment of Émilie Castonguay as assistant to the Director General at the Canucks de Vancouver.It is to hope that this commitment serves as a springboard for the arrival of several other women in key positions in the world of hockey, as seen in other major major sports leagues.
