Any player, coach or GM who gives an interview to the media in which they divulge actual, useful and heretofore unknown information is a player, coach or GM who doesn't know how to do his job when it comes to dealing with reporters. The reason why teams employ media relations staff to act as buffers between the team and the reporters, and why players, coaches and GM's undergo media training in the first place, is to teach them how to say absolutely nothing while moving their lips and emitting sound.
Today's press conference is happening for only one reason: contractual obligations. The NHL mandates that all member clubs go through the motions of being accessible to the media and, by extension, the paying customers. If not for this mandate, the Habs wouldn't talk to us at all, ever. The only announcement they want to make is to let us know when tickets for next season go on sale (and maybe about how much more we'll be expected to pay for them) Other than that they'd be quite happy never to hold a press conference for any reason at any time. The Habs do not embrace opportunities to connect with their fans via the media; they merely put up with the bare minimum of contact that the league makes them put up with. Bergevin's mission today is to get through the presser as quickly as possible while saying as little as possible. If he leaves everyone with more questions than answers he'll be happy.
