You have no idea if he's a moron or not. What you believe from your vantage point is FAARRR from what the executives who deal with him on a daily basis believe. He was brought in to the Team Canada fold, he doesn't get that opportunity if he's a moron. Let's not confuse what the fans think of him from what the rest of the league thinks of him.
Is there an intelligence screening for Team Canada that I am unaware of?
The guy is a complete idiot. I don't say this because he traded Subban or let Markov walk. Those are hockey decisions based on evaluations made by a group of hockey men. You can agree or disagree with these moves, it doesn't make any of them stupid.
I also cannot speak for any of the people behind the curtains as we never hear any of their thoughts. I mean, I have no idea what Dudley actually thinks about the PK trade, or what Martin Lapointe even does. So, can't say much about them.
Bergevin and the coaches are the only people front and center that we can have an opinion on, and there is no doubt both of them are f***ing imbeciles. The way Bergevin expresses and handles himself in front of the microphones and cameras is why I think that. Same with MT.
It has nothing to do with hockey decisions. Gainey, Gauthier, Julien, Martin, even Randy Cunneyworth, I hated a lot of their hockey decisions, Gainey and Gauthier completely lost their minds at some point too, but I never thought they were actually dumb.
Bergevin though...an idiot through and through.
As for him getting another opportunity. It means very litte. This league is all about who you know. Heck, our own GM can't even come to fire him despite it being an obvious must-do. Anybody who can constructively look at what he has done (so far), would be wise to stay away. The more this team has changed, the more his fingerprints are all over, the worse it has gotten. As simple as that.
