Two-way contract. Read all about it here.Not sure why he isn't sticking with the big club, I think he brings it every shift, forechecks hard, hits hard and is a bugger to play against. Maybe it's something behind the scenes?

Likely be first call up type, unless he blows the coaching staff out of the water in camp.

He has to pass waivers to play in the AHL.

He certainly bleeds red white and blue. The only knock I'd have against him is that while his feet really move, he doesn't always get from A to B as fast as some guys whose feet don't move as fast. It looks like he forechecks well, but he's often there a split second too late to force a mistake. It's not a huge weakness, though. He's a very underrated passer and has pretty good vision and decent hockey IQ. He's always played on the bottom 6 and I think he's a better scorer than that, but.....he's not better than Max or Galchy. He's going to have to go the Carbonneau route to stick with the Habs I think. Improve his face-off skills and his penalty killing and he'll be a useful player. I might be biased, though, as I've always liked Bournival.

I might be biased, though, as I've always liked Bournival. Bournival is an ideal LW on the 3rd line. Skilled enough to help out offensively, aggressive on the forecheck, could probably develop into a solid player on the PK as well. His contract is ridiculously cheap and there is NO WAY he would pass through waivers at that price. The two concussions haven't helped but for some reason I fear he has fallen off the radar with MT and Berg. They went with the "flavor of the month" last year with de la Rose, who doesn't impress me at all. At least not yet. If I had a choice between Bournival or DLR on the 3rd line I would hands down take Bournival. DLR should be a front and center piece in St. John's, centering the top line, getting points, and developing into a possible replacement for Lars Eller. I'd take Bournival over Flynn and DSP too.

Have to strongly disagree, DLR has a very high hockey IQ, has little offensive instincts, but still imo has more than Bournival. Bournival reminds me of Steve Begin without the hands, can run around and hit hard, but doesn't bring much else to the table. He is a good player for what he is, but I wouldn't put him in over Jacob, no way, no how.

I think the concussions are playing a role for several reasons. Once you've had one or two they happen again with less of an impact for lack of a better word. Especially when you played through one as Bournival supposedly did last year. He's not doing him self any favors by hiding it. He was not completely recovered and with any injury that can just make the situation worse & you can't possibly be at your best. I understand that his situation with the team is tenuous but IMO, telling your coach that your are good to go when you are not is lying. It hurts you, it hurts the team when you are on the ice and hurts your relationship with the coaches.

Unfortunately, the culture in hockey is that if your leg isn't amputated you should be good to go. Playing through injuries is SOP. I realize that concussions are a different type of injury and you shouldn't 'play through them'. IN fact, one shouldn't play through a lot of injuries. But what I think obviously doesn't influence the culture of a professional sport where there are millions at stake in gambling etc.
