I'm a fighter and I'll fight untill the last second to have the 12th pick.
I think you're alone if you actually believe thatNext thing you know Bergevin will trade away whatever future this team has left to Tampa Bay for Daniel Girardi. He only has 3 goals this year but he's got character.
He has officially become worse than Rejean Houle in my mind.

More like Gainey IMO... he started strong but is fading towards the end. I think what Bergevin does in his next moves will dictate his faith. The job is quite easy at the moment.... Trade Patch, Pleky, Shaw, and Alzner for futures (at the very least Pleky and Patch).
Holding onto hope with our current core is not the right plan. Good GM's learn and adapt on the fly... Time will tell.
He didn't really start strong though. He did not come in and pulled a Kovalev trade. He took over the team and did close to nothing..just let the obvious crap go. His big statement was getting Vanek for a few months, but even that same year, he went after Briere-Parros-Murray, which were failures.More like Gainey IMO... he started strong but is fading towards the end.

We've traded PK for Weber. Traded Drouin for Sergachev. Traded 2 high picks for Shaw. Signed Alzner. The fact that NOW you are saying that trading everybody will dictate his future HAS to be what dictates his faith. He is improvising like I've seen no other do. That'e enough for me to know his faith. Why would you believe in somebody who goes against what he believed in?
First mistake and to me, this has bled into what we're seeing today...He didn't really start strong though. He did not come in and pulled a Kovalev trade. He took over the team and did close to nothing..just let the obvious crap go. His big statement was getting Vanek for a few months, but even that same year, he went after Briere-Parros-Murray, which were failures.

Yes! The Patrick Roy trade years!!He has officially become worse than Rejean Houle in my mind.
The time to fight and be aggressive was at the trade deadline last year,then he had another chance to be aggressive this summer did nothing but sit on his butthole....he could have called his buddy Tallon and offered something for Marchessault before the expansion draft,he could have gone after Schenn,he could have signed Radulov,he could have signed Markov,he could have used his cap space ....instead he was a gutless coward and did nothing ...WHY....because he had his security blanket ....Carey Price to bail him out as he has done for many years.I'm a fighter and I'll fight untill the last second to have the 12th pick.

He isn’t learning or adapting at all though. He lowballs skill and overplays for character. This is his mantra. Obsessed with grit to the point where I wonder if he was a cement mixer in a alternatile universe.More like Gainey IMO... he started strong but is fading towards the end.

He was considered great despite doing nothing and it was based solely on the Habs record+Vanek, that is it, and as you now know, it meant absolutely jack crap.Bergevin was considered one of the best young GM's in the game in his first few years with the Habs. People forget this very quick. The guy had a negotiation war with Subban on the bridge contract and then got burned in the next contract. Then he trades Subban before his NMC kicked in. I like Weber but trading Subban has lead to a downward spiral for our GM. Not much he can do to turn people around and support him anymore.
