Marc Bergevin: Ch't'un Fighter Edition

[justafan22]

Shaw is better than Eller. Shaw is a good 3rd line center. If he’s playing on the top 6, it’s not his fault if he’s being used out of position.

He isn't worth the contract or 2 second round picks

Put à camera on him tonight all game long
And watch and listen people booing him
That s my dream ,,,,,,,

Shaw is absolutely horrible fit for the habs.
Hes a depth forward for a team that actually has offense

Good article on Sportsnet, Engels, rips MB on the Subban trade, among other things that we all know, and have pointed out..............glad the media are finally calling it what it is.........a clown in over his head!!

Link? I can't find it

Calgary has no picks in the first or second round this year.....? Maybe he is still a buyer, because Jim Carey says there still a chance...

If one is the Habs GM and smart they don't go after picks in 2018. They go after picks in 2019 and 2020 where teams will be a little more willing to let go of a first or second they won't be thinking about for a while.

The Canadiens also have three second round picks already in 2018. What are we gonna try to collect them all?

Bergevin has to know how despised he is...no?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I am running out of ways to express my disdain for Bergevin and Molson. A historic, iconic franchise deserves better than these two

It's Dubaya and Trump wrapped into an unbeatable duo of incompetence.


.... Yup.. im also out of ideas.

It's just so ridiculous at this point.

Exactly. MB did well a few years ago when he was acquiring picks for drafts a year or two down the road. We saw them have more picks last year and this year also. We are now seeing the benefit of future picks being acquired. With 2018 in pretty good shape, it would be wise to continue down this road by getting 2019 and 2020 picks.

Their 2019 and 2020 1st round picks are available. However, their 2019 and 2020 2nd round picks are part of a conditional pick they sent to Isles for Hamonic. The condition of that pick is that if Flames qualify for playoffs this year, Islanders get the 2020 second. If Flames don't qualify, Isles get their 2019 second. So Flames can't give away either of those picks until they know if they qualify this year or not.

Bergevin has to know how despised he is...no?

He's a narcissist, he doesn't care, as long as he has himself in the mirror calling back to him, saying "oh Marc, you're the hunkiest and best GM ever, it's just puck luck, it'll turn, now keep your chin up and don't forget to flex in photo ops, everyone loves you and you'll always have lil-G gushing over you."

 

[Price is Wright]

Nah, Bergevin knows. That's why he won't be in the Bell Centre tonight.

Arrogant people are usually oblivious to such things.

Nah, Bergevin knows. That's why he won't be in the Bell Centre tonight.

What a coward if true!

Another article from a few days ago. Eric Engels really turning up the heat:
Canadiens GM Bergevin should be sent packing if he doesn't trade Plekanec - Sportsnet.ca

We should all send him messages that not only is he the greatest GM there ever was, but he is the best ever looking and is a world top fashion model with the clothes he wears ... he'll be so overwhelmed, maybe his head will explode.

What makes Shaw better than Eller.

 

[Price is Wright]

He's in New York for the Rangers/Flames game. "Scouting"

Shaw and Eller are both really good depth players that won't do anything for a bad team. They are secondary scorers who add two way play and add jam and possession respectively, the type of guys who make a difference on teams like Chicago and Washington but giving a guy like Shaw a big contract to play on a mediocre team like Montreal is worthless. It doesn't matter how much fire Shaw shows in the playoffs if he isn't going to make it there.

Rearranging depth players like Bergevin is obsessed with doing while the actual core slowly falls apart is a guarantee this team will get far worse before it gets better.

The best way I can put it is if I was a Boston or Toronto fan Bergevin would be my favourite GM in the league.

Absolutely not.................this is on the players, if Capspace and the gang were doing their jobs, this would be no big deal........if Price had pitched 25 shutouts by now, it would be all good........

That was last night, right? He will surely be back for da big game tonight...

 

[Kwikwi]

ahhh Lars, really good on contract year...
Shaw vs Lars = it a wash

Average player on good team look better.
Average player on average team well, its the montreal canadiens.

It could change quickly if he starts taking the right decision.

I'm surprised Plekanec has not already been sold. It's not a secret some teams are looking for a defensive center (there's always teams looking for defensive centers with experience). Would we get more at the deadline? Maybe. But we are taking the risk he injures himself or the teams needed a defensive center find a solution somewhere else. Vanek was the perfect proof you don't always get more at the deadline for a player. If i was the GM i would move Plekanec as quickly as i could and i would not ask for the moon. It's a guy you can't afford to not trade before the deadline and MB is playing a very dangerous game by waiting. Retain the max and trade him asap.

The return of the prodigious son. We need a 1st line center for the next season ...

Does he, his ego, and his millions care? Nope. He has Molson in his back pocket.
