Marc Bergevin - Would I lie to you Edition

Would I Lie To You?
Eurythmics

Would I Lie To You?
Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?

My friends, know what's in store.
I won't be here anymore.
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor.
Watch me walkin'.
Walkin' out the door.

Believe me, I'll make it make it
Believe me, I'll make it make it

Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?

Tell you straight, no intervention.
To your face, no deception.
You're the biggest fake.
That much is true.
Had all I can take.
Now I'm leaving you

Believe me, I'll make it make it
Believe me, I'll make it make it

Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?

Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?

My friends, know what's in store.
I won't be here anymore.
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor.
Watch me walkin'.
Walkin' out the door.

Believe me, I'll make it make it
Believe me, I'll make it make it

Would I lie to you?

I appreciate the topical musical reference, though in honor of Tom Petty I'd have gone a different direction, with a Yer so Bad edition.

Jeff Petry's new partner
is broken Karl Alzner
Paid him far more than he's worth
Shouldn't be fickle
But he can't get pickles
I can't decide which is worse
But not me baby
I'll just pray for Mete
Oh, Yer so Bad
Worst GM we've had
And the fans are mad
Cause Yer so Bad

 

[Runner77]

I'd take Tom Petty over The Eurythmics any day but the thread title was too bang on.

I wonder if we actually have a plan for our unused cap space...

 

[DesmondDekker]

I wonder if we actually have a plan for our unused cap space...

What’s a plan !?

 

[CauZuki]

What’s a plan !?

What's a natural Center?

 

[Price is Wright]

"Watch me walkin'.
Walkin' out the door."

One could only hope.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Next title should be political:

Bergevin left or right winger? Can't find the center, left with no defense.

 

[sandviper]

What's a natural Center?

A left hand shot that can also play left wing, preferably on the 4th line.

100k in Molson's pocket every game we play with that unused cap space so here are some of his options :
-Buy a boat
-Buy a house
-Buy a new car
-Buy a golfing lifetime membership
-Renovate his pool
-Buy 200 Nintendo Switch to build a Nintendo Switch Fort

plenty of options really

Its Radulov or Markov but not both....

 

[CauZuki]

Its Radulov or Markov but not both....

Not if you don't sign Alzner/Hemsky/Streit.

Markov one year at 6 Mil and Radu 5x 6.75 = 12.75

Alzner = 5.25
Cap space = 8 million and change.

Pacioretty - Drouin - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Byron - Danault - Hudon
DLR - McCarron - Shaw

Markov - Weber
Mete - Petry
Schlemko - Jerabek
Davidson

Looks much better to me than what we are currently icing.

Yeah I know and agree, it was more than a little tongue in cheek

At this point any hockey trade would send cap the other way anyway. I could see the Habs trading for expiring contracts from teams that need cap space, that about it. This fiasco will maybe give the team a couples of picks if they play their cards right. Big IF. Nothing I seen in the last five years give me confidence that Marc Bergevin is capable of properly handling assets.

I doubt there's one specific and defined plan to use that cap space.

Rather, that cap space is available for several different eventualities.

Whether or not those eventualities come to fruition, is anyone's guess really.

So, nothing. Okay.

 

[417]

So, nothing. Okay.

would you want him to have one specific plan?

What if that trade doesn't come to fruition?

You're essentially championing a strategy that involves having tunnel vision.

Would you be happy if his plan was John Tavares?

How can he have ONE plan for a situation that's so fluid & volatile?

 

[Runner77]

What's a natural Center?

The type of player that you find on every other team except the Habs.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I wonder if we actually have a plan for our unused cap space...

Fire MB and use the cap space to compensate for the money lost on MB's 5 years contract ! A win-win situation for us and Molson !

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The only "Plan" Bergevin had was to make millions of dollars for himself... Trust me.. there was never a professional "plan" to build a contender... he's clueless and hit the GM lottery...Believe me.

I hate giving him any sort of credit, but I do think he at least had SOME sort of plan when he took the job in 2012 but the good season we had in the shortened period threw it off. He wasn't a good GM to realize he still should have stayed the course with the plan, though, and he wasn't a good GM in that he got way too loyal to a coach that was carried by his goaltender for so long.

That's literally the only positive thing I could possibly say about it. I don't think he would have gotten the job if he didn't have SOME sort of plan in 2012 when he inherited the team. It's just not easy picking good GMs from bad GMs when they don't have any experience and you take a shot looking for fresh blood in the organization and a new identity.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Pierre "Story Teller" McGuire was the better man for the job trust me.. Yes he loves to talk a lot but at least he understands how to fix a team's needs, and how to evaluate players and put them in the proper situations, he is also not a dumpster diver like MB is... Believe me.

Trust me, I think we're all aware of the egregious faults that come with Bergevin as a GM and just how bad he actually is. I'm just saying that I think back in 2012, he at least had SOME sort of plan in mind but seeing as he's not a good GM, he allowed his personal feelings and relationships get in the way of building a winner and essentially threw it all out so now we're stuck with a GM who changes plans every summer.

Three Habs have won the Norris since 1965: Robinson, Chelios and Subban. The first was snubbed by Bergy in favour of J.J. Daigneault for coaching duties; the second was traded by Savard for an older local who didn't work out (surprise!); and the third traded by you-know-who also for an older guy.

Three Norris winners in 50 years and three corresponding failures by the Habs front office. (And then there's the trio of McDonagh Markov & Sergachev...)

Bergy is not some anomaly this is the way the Habs operate.

There was a 4th who won it with the Washington Capitals, one Rod Langway. Poile was the acquiring GM.

The stuff I have to read on other forums ...

Bergevin isn't a great GM, but he's not that bad.
