Imagine having your team make the cup final, catching Covid, and then being fired within half a year 

Imagine having your team

 

1. win two rounds,

2. let key players walk to UFA and destroy team chemistry,

3. catching COVID, and then finish last in the Canadian division, embarrassing your entire fan base, and

4. start the season 6-13-2 and

5. then being fired.

 

Uh wait. One of the things I said is not true (yet).

Say no to Bergevin. Maybe Mellanby.... Aqua being a meddling owner/self titled president would NEVER hire Jeff Gorton (who was fired by a meddling owner in NY).

 

Must be nice to have an owner who has a clear direction, money to spare, and doesn't put up with spiralling losing (just last year they made the Finals)...

Ummm no I think the fact that they are one of the worst teams in the league is the reason they got fired.  If Montreal is first in their division nobody gets fired, regardless of drafting Mailloux…

Losing your nr 1 defenseman and franchise goalie to circumstances, losing KK but getting a better C in Dvorak for a protected draftpick and having a very important defenseman in Edmundson injured for every game so far this season is part of the reason why they were bad

Yes but Toffoli was on pace for 80 goals last year.  He was going to be their saviour really...

I wonder if things happened differently and the Oakland Seals in 1968 was allowed to be bought by Labatt's, and moved to Vancouver. if our teams history would have been radically different. 

Labatt got bought out by Interbrew and Interbrew is now AB InBev. The Vancouver team would have been owned by a series of deep pocket owners. 

Might not have even had the same name. But the Vancouver Seals would have been weird. 

I think we were supposed to be in the round of expansion before 1971 but the Toronto Maple Leafs vetoed it.  As if one didn't need a reason to hate the Laffs.

He did. He could manage a high pressure job with ease. He'd be perfect here. He made good hockey trades. Just didn't draft that good.

Bergevin doesn’t draft.  Most GMs don’t - they feel they would just interfere in the process.  Armstrong, Yzerman, Guerin have all spoken against getting involved.

 

Trevor Timmins has been Bergevin’s long time head of amateur scouting and when promoted to AGM a few years ago kept the responsibility of overseeing their amateur scouting.

They fired the GM and the coach whose team went to the Cup Final last year.

And the Canucks still has their GM and coach who brought the team to no where except the basement of the standing in the last 8 years.

The coach hasn’t been fired yet.  They fired the GM, AGM, and head of public relations
