Montreal needs to blow their team up. Too many smurf sized bandaid fixes over too long.

 

How does Bergevin still have a job?

Prior to Drouin and Byron getting hurt in the same game Montreal was top 10 in the league.  The loss of Drouin is exacerbated by a hole on the left D.  This is a team that put up 96 points last season.  They have issues. But they’re not really a team that needs to blow it up

Lack of depth is being exposed.

Several low end players have stopped overachieving.

 

And that offer sheet this summer was the laughing stock of the entire league.

 

Montreal now = The Calgary Flames 8 years ago, caught in a never ending cycle of halfassed retools.

Montreal has been quietly rebuilding. They had 21 picks in the last 2 drafts, 11 of them in the top-100 - and many analysts said they made great picks. (By comparison, Canucks had 15 picks, 5 in the top-100.) At the same time, last year they nearly made the playoffs, and until some injury trouble this year they were doing very well.

 

But a few players that surprisingly played very well for them last year have struggled this season (including Kotkaniemi & Kulak). Bergevin has to make a move to shore up the D, and get a decent back-up goaltender.
