I’m not. Subscriber of the athletic. But from the context of the tweets it sounded like it was an Eklund style “source”. Not an official statement from the Montreal organization. Either way, the tire fire continues on unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the tire fire continues on unchecked. maybe part of the problem is the lack of incisiveness of some of these sources, projected onto GMs. Bergevin can make you wonder but not quite to the point where I can believe he's revealing both a lack of intent to re-sign and a desperation to trade asap - at the same time. that said, I like the Armia deal. So if it were just a queston of his last move, a bit of credit - but overall.....still frightening what he might do with Pacioretty whether he's rushed or not haha.

Noseforthenet Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The Montreal Tire Fires? Part of me thinks that should be a name for Ottawa because of their Canadian Tire sponsorship. Also the Flames are technically a fire team. Which one works better?! Lol. Can anybody make a logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergevin does fine on smaller deals for the most part. He cashed in on Weise to Chicago for Danault and 2018 2nd. Did well with the Armia deal. Picking up Byron off waivers. Signing Radulov (we won’t talk about the subsequent mess). Benn for Pateryn (a player that HAD to be moved because of his wife’s racist rants on Twitter), I even like the organizational moves he’s made this summer (replacing Laval’s coaching staff,Burrows adding Ducharme, Richardson to the Habs coaching staff. Its the big trades, his tendency to side with the crappy French coach over a young star player, and his insistence on keeping said crappy French coaches where he REALLY drops the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the big trades, his tendency to side with the crappy French coach over a young star player, and his insistence on keeping said crappy French coaches where he REALLY drops the ball I agree with all of this...EXCEPT for the fact that he's siding with the crappy French coach. I kind of think this was the game plan for the Habs and they lived and are currently dying by that game plan. They wanna be tougher. Not just defensively, but period. Both of the last coach hires were conducive to this train of thought. Both didn't like Galchenyuk. They traded PK, which has not worked out well for them at all with all of Weber's injuries. The fact he wasn't fired for this is still boggling my mind as he is continuing to make moves. They made the move for Drouin, which on the surface looks like a change in philosophy, but TB kept him down for so long that he became reliable enough on the defensive side of the puck. All in all, it just seems like a GM philosophy and anyone who is going to play soft is out. Might be why Patch is on his way out. Their captain is not embodying what they want for the culture they are looking for. Nevermind understanding that what they are looking for could actually be the wrong thing.

Odjick29willkillyou Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I wonder if Patches has a conference preference. I could see SJ or ANA going after him. I know the LAK were close, but their addition of Kovy kinda kills this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
