Is Marc Bergevin the worst GM in the NHL?

[McGuires Corndog]

Marc Bergevin has taken a core from 2012 that was very young and had some promising young players and turned it into what we see today, a team who's main core is past their prime and bloated with terrible contracts.

Is he the worst?

I'd say Chiarelli is.

1) Traded a franchise center (Seguin) for nothing.
2) Traded a top pairing young D-man (Hamilton( for a couple of picks.
3) Traded a legitimate 1st line winger (Hall) for Larsson.
4) Traded a top six-winger *Eberle) for Ryan Strome.

Wasn't Chiarelli already in Edmonton when Hamilton was dealt?

If for no other reason than giving Carey Price that contract...

 

[member 256847]

He's certainly at the bottom of the pile. What a train wreck he's been in the last couple years too.

Option 3 for me. Joe Sakic is probably worse.

Option 3 for me. Joe Sakic is probably worse.

Not with what he managed to get for Duchene.

 

[widowmaker]

Definitely worst GM in Habs history...... Worse than Houle.......Definitely bottom teir of current GMs........ .Bargainbin fast approaching Mike Milbury status

 

[Chef de Cuisine]

Chia says WASSUP

PC is the worst

 

[Deficient Mode]

Bottom three of Tallon, Chia, McPhee. Those three have all ruined their teams harder the past ocuple of years than Bergevin has.

Bergevin is awful but many GMs are.

 

[CCM19]

Bergevin tried to build a team that could possibly compete in the 90’s.

That is all that needs to be said

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I would have voted bottom-3 before this summer, even factoring in the Subban trade.

After the moves he made in the off-season this year, he's easily the worst, imo. He's killed this team.

 

[CanadienShark]

Definitely bottom 3. Could be the worst, but not sure. I voted "not the worst, but bottom 3" since that's the closest to my opinion.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I'd say Chiarelli is.

1) Traded a franchise center (Seguin) for nothing.
2) Traded a top pairing young D-man (Hamilton( for a couple of picks.
3) Traded a legitimate 1st line winger (Hall) for Larsson.
4) Traded a top six-winger *Eberle) for Ryan Strome.

I don't think Chia dealt Hamilton

 

[Pyrophorus]

In a poll on the previous board he finished 30th.

Bottom three of Tallon, Chia, McPhee. Those three have all ruined their teams harder the past ocuple of years than Bergevin has.

Bergevin is awful but many GMs are.

Tallon was doing just fine and had the team on the right track before Rowe threw his one season coup and fired Gallant.

 

[TOGuy14]

I thinkhe is certainly in the discussion.

There is making a mediocre team that spins there wheels and goes nowhere, and then there is actively making your team worse, which I think MB has done.

Subban for Weber was bad at the time and only gets worse as Weber continues to age.

That contract for Price is joke. Signed until he is 39 at a 10.5M cap hit?

Sergachev for Drouin looks like another bad trade long term, but needs more time to decide

Letting Radulov and Markov go over what seems like an insignificant amount of money is another set of huge gaffes

 

[llamateizer]

I don't think Chia dealt Hamilton

You're right

Flames acquire Hamilton from Bruins for draft picks

Treliving said he started talking with Bruins general manager Don Sweeney about Hamilton

 

[Ainec]

homer vote for Jim Benning

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don't know if he's the worst but he's certainly in the running for it. Took a good young core and destroyed it. Hired the worst coach in the league, shipped out Subban, has incompetent people running the minors... He's a really bad GM.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Voted "Bottom 3", it's either him or Sakic.

The Subban Trade plus this off-season might put him over Sakic as the worst GM in the league.

 

[Captain Mountain]

You can't really create an ordered list that doesn't change with each passing move, but he's among the worst (how many others belong on such a list is open to interpretation). I'd say he belongs in the same group as Sakic, MacLennan, Chiarelli, Sweeney, etc.

 

[Bleedred]

He's down there, along with Sakic, McPhee and Snow. Benning has been pretty bad, but at least he's tried to move in somewhat of a different direction. Sweeney is also pretty lousy, and Chiarelli has been pretty abysmal over the last 1.5 years.
