Written Option One
Had he remained a member of the Minnesota Monarchs, Bastien would've told Management that due to his age and feeling that he has but only a few good seasons left in him he opted to save and manage his body in order to maintain himself at a good level in order to perform the best he can for the upcoming season. But since he signed for two season with the Montreal Patriotes, he feels energized and more motivated than ever to make an impact with the team and wants to do so in more ways than one. Thus, while training is taking place in order to be as ready as his body allows he will mix that up with appearances in the local Montreal media be it on RDS or TVA Sports and even non-sports shows like Tout Le Monde En Parles and the occasional morning show like Salut Bonjour among other things. He will participate in every meet and greet and marketing obligations related to the team as well.
