-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Quote Former Boston Bruins forward and ex-Calgary Flames winger made their move to the Swiss League's Genève-Servette HC official. Wingels, 30, was traded from the Chicago Blackhawks to the Bruins prior to the trade deadline last season. He scored a combined nine goals and 17 points in 75 games. He was held without a point in four playoff games with the Bruins. Wingels has appeared in 448 NHL contests in his career with the Bruins, Blackhawks, Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks. He has 62 goals and 143 points in his NHL career. Bouma spent six seasons with the Calgary Flames before joining the Blackhawks last summer. He had three goals and nine points in 53 games with Chicago and ended the year in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs. The 28-year-old appeared in a career-high 78 games both in 2013-14 and 2014-15 with the Flames. In total, he posted 30 goals and 76 points in 357 career NHL games. https://www.tsn.ca/postma-wingels-bouma-sign-in-europe-1.1157991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissCanucks Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Yeah! They'll play for my hometown team =) There was a rumor Shawn Matthias could sign there also. I guess it won't be the case as now Genève-Servette have their 4 allowed import players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Bouma will always be a Vancouver Giant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 These guys cant get jobs in the NHL. Was a day they would be prototypical fourth liners and could easily scratch out another year or two. League has sure changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 They're young enough to maybe make it back to the bigs, but if they don't they both had pretty good careers as NHL journeymen. Lot of guys don't make it to the almost 400-500 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 When a guy like Daniel Sedin can fling you into the boards you're destined for Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Looks like the NLA has been out-GMed by GMMG. (Mike Gillis is VP and 50% owner of Genève-Servette. Chris McSorely is actually their GM/coach, but the joke works better with Gillis.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Nice to see that Wingels is no longer in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
