News Article: Bergevin Offered Panarin more money
- Thread starter Richiebottles
- Start date
Saw the article this morning....
Panarin rightly chose Chicago over MTL just based on who he was offered to play with. As soon as the Hawks offered Kane and Toews it was a sealed deal even IF montreal offered more money.

This makes me happy. Identified talent. Sought out said talent and tried to sign it.
Not signing him is too bad but we did everything we could so the result isn't a result of anything other than being the wrong team.

Panarin did the right thing by joining the hawks. He got to play with the best line in the NHL instead of playing in the AHL with Therrien.

Gotta a hint for you, Bergevin. The reason Panarin went elsewhere? Have a look in your foxhole for the reason.

I am no MB fan, but I am more than happy he made that effort, too bad it didn't work out for us. And I must say, I'm surprised by the comments so far...all of them are bashing MT or Bergevin instead of acknowledging MB for making that effort.
Habs fans in a nutshell...get angry when we don't land top 6 talent, get even angrier when we try to land top 6 talent lol

Panarin is very talented and deserves a lot of acclaim for his performance this season.
Bergevin deserves props for taking a shot at getting the guy.
That being said.......while he may be taking less money immediately, clicking with the Chicago core is a good way to up your value quickly.
Harder to do that on a team like Montreal.

I think he went for the ex-stanley cup champions...he didn't run from the habs because we have a dumbass coach and GM, that's just dumb speculation.

Its hard in Montreal because we dont play a system that favors offensive talent and the use of it which automatically depreciates our players values.

His agent probably used the Habs to get as best a deal he could get where he really wanted to be. And it's all fine and dandy, that's what agents are supposed to do.
Money ain't everything, even for a Russian player coming to North America expecting a payoff.
Bergevin will have to look at his own backyard and find out where he went wrong. Start with that huge crater he created and the bodies it contains.

Maybe I'm reading a bad translation, but teams were limited by the CBA as to what they could offer Panarin. Because of his age, it had to be a two year ELC with 925K max guaranteed. Teams could offer him schedule A and B performance bonuses. The latter are harder to achieve, so that's where the difference may have lied:
So it really does come down to choosing the best situation. GMs can claim they offered Panarin more money, but in the end the offers on paper were pretty similar.

Players are going to go different ways this year too, with the season we just had and the status quo of the coaches.

Great move by Panarin. He took less guaranteed money, but ended up with way more cashing in on bonuses he would've never met in Montreal.

Can't believe young and upcoming talent, don't want to play for a guy like MT...I mean come on, it only takes 4 yrs to get put in a position where da coach trusts you, if and only if DD is hurt...
Hard to believe eh....what was this kids agent thinking...

Bergevin endorses MT and an offensive creativity blackhole. What skill player would sign here, Panarin knows his NHL career would be in jeopardy.
Furthermore, he signed an ELC that a ton of NHL teams also offered. It's a joke to suggest 'more money' when bonus' make up most of it. Panarin sees 4th line in MTL vs 1st line in CHI.
Looks like more PR to make it easier to not accomplish nothing for a 5th summer.

Pretty much the entire league offered Panarin as much or more than the hawks.
But yes, lets give props and hi fives for MB identifying what every other gm identified. You would give credit to this management if they managed to run the team into the ground and fold
