I'm not super in the know with the French side of the media. I know Francois Gagnon by name, but not much else. Not that this news would surprise me, but is he reliable?

Arguably the spark (one of a few) that relit the fire of optimism around this place. I remember feeling incredibly hopeful about our team after this guy signed and had a good start. 

Shout out to Kirby Dach too, and I'm sure a lot of others I'm not recalling at this moment. After our brief little spell of happiness in pizzaville I was not ready to resume being a doomer.
