He wasn’t afraid to make big moves. The guy could make hockey trades and handle the pressure. Keep Benning on as a scouting consultant if he can't find work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the one aspect of his job he excelled at How about drafting a kid in the first round who was convicted of a sex crime? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have been prouder of Captain Bo for the leadership he showed in the solidarity boycott in the Bubble. Bo is a man of principle.

It shows at best, REALLY poor judgement, he should have passed through the draft. In selecting him, it shows questionable morals, and that alone should eliminate Bergevin as a potential GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) 1. The Swedish teenager was not his g/f 2. He posted the photo of her naked on his Instagram page 3. She did not consent, rather she took it to the police 4. He was convicted, and fined 5. He has expressed contrition for his immature act and acknowledged his guilt 6. He has entered counseling 7. He begged not to be drafted this summer, wanting to complete the counseling, mature, make amends and reenter the draft next year 8. Bergevin drafted him anyway Heres a link to his statement and the GMs actions ... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/draft/2021/07/23/logan-mailloux-drafted-montreal-canadiens/8079436002/ As I said elsewhere, tone deaf. Not the GM for a Vancouver team (c.f. how Benning dealt with Virtanen) Edited November 30, 2021 by Googlie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It will not matter who they bring in if they continue to meddle. Because of our ownership this team has no direction. It is a boat with no rudder. Just floating around the ocean banging into things. Hire a good president and get out of the way. There is some very good young talent here but it is not a team. Plus we have no depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll just hire a “GM” in name only for PR purposes/ optics. So as long as the Habs are winning, the local media there won’t say much. how do you figure? their owner just made a statement that there should be 2 guys for 2 jobs why would they hire a puppet at this point? and the Habs aren't winning just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will hire a francophone GM to be the “face” of the team’s management, but he will be answering to the Executive VP on pretty much all matter related to Hockey Ops. I think the Habs would be well served hiring a guy like Luongo, or a similar profile former NHL player born in Quebec, for GM. Habs should hire Sergio Momesso. Do it now, before Aquaman swoops in.
