Bergevin has done a horrible job in Montreal now. It will be interesting to see how long before ownership gets rid of him. Funny thing is Therrien and PK were BFF's during all-star weekend.

Right now we are the half decent looking girl hanging out with three ugly girls. Makes us look better and better all the time. So what you're saying is, the Canucks have just upped their chances of getting screwed. Not sure I like the analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said his final offers were on table to Radulov and Markov but at the very last second he offered to match Dallas offer to Radulov, who had also verbally agreed to sign with them and wasn't going to back out. Either AV or Guy Carbonneau returns as he was the one who replaced Claude when he was fired 1st time. It doesn't matter who head Coach is team is awful. Bergevin is worst then Rejean Houle. Benning needs to contact Youppi. https://thehockeywriters.com/canadiens-general-manager-application/ PK for Weber was such a stupid move, but I think even monumentally more stupid was trading Sergachev for Drouin.

TheRick Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 When Bergevin was a player and he played for the Canucks, he was said to be a funny guy. So were all the bad trades that Bergevin made suppose to make me laugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I guess they still have a good asset in Shea Weber..... they just need to eat up half of his salary remaining salary. Weber with 50% discount at $3.9 million per year, even with 8 years remaining will be a good deal for any team wishing to contend for 3-5 year window. Starting next season, there's no more signing bonus and just purely salary. $80 million of the $110 million has already been paid by the Canadian. The final 3 years only has $1 million per season. If the Canadiens wishes to speed up the rebuild, he should be traded ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just a guy desperate to be in the spotlight. Not saying this isn't true, just that Georges Laraque is unlikely to have any "inside source". eehhhhh.... he's as Montreal as Montreal can be. Having lived there for a while, Laraque's name does carry local pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emelin, Markov, Radulov, Sergachev, Jerabek, Smith-Pelley, Subban. . Bring in more francophones Marc it seems to be doing you very well No GM should be tossing away defenceman like this guy is, it's a travesty and I imagine he is on extremely thin ice.

Not necessarily - particularly if they'd kept Sergachev. Weber with Sergachev and that blueline overall looks a whole lot better. No dramaqueen Drouin - re-sign Radulov instead - and you have a much more difficult forward group to contend with. Sergachev and Radulov vs Drouin is inconceivably dumb. Stop renting junk like Steve Ott. Stop giving away Sven Andrighettos for Andreas Martinsens. Why bring in a recycled, hard-headed rival coach that is widely loathed by your fanbase? Shades of Torturefella. Zero confidence in Bergevin - but why bother keeping a GM whose moves you have to block? What is wrong with the Habs?

smokes Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's sad really. Bergevin was actually doing pretty good until Therrien showed up then everything went downhill from there His worst move was to hire Therrien, now everything is falling like dominoes.

mll Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 When Montreal was hosting Nashville earlier this month, Bergevin was in Minnesota watching the Wild play Chicago and was seen talking to Fletcher after the game. Tonight the Wild are playing in New Jersey and Bergevin is at that game with AGM Scott Mellanby. Montreal is at home playing the Rangers. Seems like something could be up between the Wild and Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead73 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sounds like a media puff story. If anything an owner might demand any trades get run by him first but ultimately Molson would simply fire him and get another GM in to steady the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I even held out a year. My doubts started when Sammy Polluck passes on naming Bowman the new GM. Many great teams of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Very sad shadow today of what was.

The Lock Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well, if the owner is worried about another trade going south and wanting to keep as many assets as possible for what's seemingly inevitably a new GM, then I can see why this has happened at trade deadline and not in the off-season, especially considering their position in the standings indicates they would likely be sellers instead of buyers.
