Guest 1970 Habs Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Good depth player on the farm team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PrimusPilus Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've been to a bunch of Dogs games this year and Cote has been the best overall defenseman on the team so far without a shadow of a doubt. He has a mean streak, which I happen to like, sticks up for his mates, solid outlet passes and a decent shot. He adds toughness and grit to the Dogs blueline. Sadly, I don't think he's in management's plans at the moment, but if he keeps playing like this, management may not have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I don't think he's in management's plans at the moment, but if he keeps playing like this, management may not have a choice. I'd definitely like to see him be called-up to Montreal if anymore injuries occur on the blue-line. I remember last season it was expected he would start with the team, and then a bad injury set him back a few weeks. Too bad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcdog4 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am a big fan of Cote's, would love to see him on the big club...but I doubt it. He's getting lost in the depth chart...and needs to have a big season to get himself back on management's radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then havent heard a word? Well he's pretty much gone after this year as Gainey doesn't want him on the team. Right now he has taken a leadership role in Hamilton helping out Carle.

Guest Anetéchrist Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Unfortunately for him, an untimely injury destroyed his chance of reaching the NHL last year. Right now, he is behind younger, stronger, faster and better players in O'Byrne, Gorges, Valentenko and Carle on D. There's no place for him in our lineup.

I still think Cote is far better than those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is far superior to most of these, he has good size, hockey smarts and is very steady.......all that said what is the latest on him 1970???? Anything official?

habfanforlife-85 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 pretty sure he is UFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franck5890 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sad to see that injuries decimated most of his chances. In the few games I saw of him at the NHL level (and the ones I've seen at the AHL level), he certainly showed no nervousness; in fact, I likened him to a more complete version of Komisarek; big, strong, defensively reliable, and a half-decent puck-mover. But this guy was a rock and I was really hoping to see him get his chance, although I think that time has past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I really hope he decides to stick with it and join another organization here instead of going off to Europe. I think he has what it takes to be a really good top 4 guy in the NHL one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree wholeheartedly with both of you......I think he is too good to lose but if we have to at least keep him in the NHL (he will prove to be better, at least defensively than Beauchemin (another good one we lost).......Cote is a smart, steady, stay at home defenceman who can act as "quarterback"......as you said Cote is "a rock".......and you know what happens when you build on rock!!!!!

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I wasn't even aware he was still with our organization. Is he signed to a two-way/Hamilton/MTL contract for next season? I remember a couple of seasons ago, people thought he was going to make it out of training camp and then he got injured. He never seemed to be on the radar afterwards. I wonder if he can't play a top-4 role in MTL sometime in the next few seasons. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's an UFA now and neither Montreal or Hamilton have offered him anything in terms of a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess it possible we could still offer him a two-way contract, or something. I would have liked to see him play a few games at the NHL level, just to see, ya know.

madsprite18 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Anybody know JP's status with us???? Now that Bainsey is gone he may be our only vet.....unless he is part of the house cleaning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ives Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 He's gone according to the spec. Andlauer says of a club that's been stripped of Corey Locke, Duncan Milroy, Yann Danis, Jonathan Ferland, J.P. Cote, Andrew Archer and just about everyone else connected to the team's championship just two seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ives Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I hope he is the next Hainsey. JP has a great amount of heart and is a pretty good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animerules1x3 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I hope he is the next Hainsey. JP has a great amount of heart and is a pretty good player. Hainsey has an offensive game, though. As for what happens with JP Coté, I would think he jumped on the best offer since he became UFA, and much like Yann Danis, he would never have had the slightest chance in Montreal.

Ives Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 JP might have an offensive game. We didn't see one from Hainsey in Hamilton either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsprite18 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 JP might have an offensive game. We didn't see one from Hainsey in Hamilton either. We didn't see much from Ron at all But I am glad he is doing well I always knew he had the tools.......but we only saw (small) flashes in Hamilton......I'd compare JP more to Beauchemin but again Francois had more of an offensive game.......I see JP as someone who is the anchor of the defense corps.....I think he could have a great NHL career anchoring a team's defense.
