Hugo Carpentier gets some lov'n in the hockey news online edition for being one of the guys we can't wait to see in the NHL.
Great Job, Hugo, I can't wait either
Heres a old thread on Carpentier in case you're interested. I remember his cousin posting here. Hopefully he's deemed worthy of a contract with the Flames and gets on the way to a good NHL career.

thanks sylvanfan, maybe some help for the big club quicker than we thought.
Like I had said on another post. I have a feeling a bunch of the kids are still a half year away. Not ready to make the team out of camp, but maybe by Christmas. Then maybe we can move some of the older guys for picks.

Don't we have to sign him really soon if we are going to retain his rights?
Location: Checking into the Palms Casino in Vegas instead of going to team meetings
Exp:
Flames have until June 1st to get him signed or else he'll go back in the draft, and if he passes through than he'd be a UFA. I think the same goes for all the 2006 picks unless they played the last season in the NCAA and are committed to going back to school. They may have one more year with any Euro picks....can't remember exactly how that works, if it's 3 years rights on those guys now and they become UFA if they're 22 or older as of July 1st.

Has anybody had a chance to watch Carpentier live? Maybe Maritime Q has had the chance to see him a few times this year? If so could we get a quick paragraph about him?
Mind you, my French is not very good, but it sounds like he's talking to the Flames over the next few weeks, and that he is not expected back in Rouyn-Noranda next season.

...yep, that's the gist of it... writer doubts Carpentier will be back in Rouyn-Noranda next year, but that it will depend on what will transpire in the next few weeks with the Flames, the NHL club that owns his rights...
Guy sounds like what you'd typically find in the forth round. A little bit of flash, but streaky. Does seem like he's improved his plus/minus though.
If he can become a two-way center that competes with John Armstrong a bit, I suppose he's worth signing. Having more than one prospect of a specific type is always a good thing.

I don't think it's even on the official website yet, but you know, I'm his cousin and his number one fan, so I had to find out before everybody else! He is sooooooooo happy right now and we're all very proud of him in the family. We're going to throw a big party for sure!

That is great news. He looked good in the playoffs and seems like a legitimate prospect. I'm glad the Flames are giving him a longer look and decided to invest in him.
