Muller.
I am saying what I observe, Bergevin inherited this roster, Galchenyuk was a given at the draft position, a center which we desperately needed and we bounce him from the wing to center and his development is lacking and now we see the warts. he inherited Price, Subban, Pacioretty and company and we sit here 5 years later and have done no more than the regimes before him. Bergevin said that we have less than 5 great prospects in the system, it has not been a successful 5 years.
And what the heck happened after that 13-1 start ? Did Muller forget how to coach?
This is laughable really...
Team starts on fire =Muller
Team struggles after =Therrien
On the bright side you should be able to listen to Therrien's wisdom on L'Antichambre shortly!
ironically Galchenyuk has been the most successful of all the top 5 picks that year.

Half our posters wanted to get rid of Max earlier too......And half the posters here want to trade him.

About Kassian, Semin, Briere, and PAP being "misses", really? That'swhat you're complaining about? I'm not surprised but let me try anyways...he took a shot on those players with ZERO risk and got rid of them as soon as he realized it wasn't going to work. Besides, Briere helped us win a playoff round so I considering the price, I would say it worked out fine.
Did that hamper the team long term? I don't get it...

I have no issues with trading Galchenyuk...
But have serious issues with the idea that he has to be traded. Because that implies the return won't be so great.

Go get Duchene. Add an asset or two if you need. Problem fixed.
It feels like both AG and NB are most likely to be traded.
To me they both have had their value diminished this year, and they were once top prospects who we still haven't quite figured out. I know Nate has brain cramps and is inconsistent but so many young D are up and down in their early years. I would have like to see him get an extended run with Weber for the first 30 games or so. I know that would have possibly come at a cost in the standings but sometimes that investment has to be made.
Well so much for that theory Tony. Price never had the curse on him.
With regard, Duchene for Galchenyuk feels VERY lateral. Duchene is a better skater and Galchenuk is a slightly better shooter. Both are not-ideal 1st centers.
Eh... Nathan Beaulieu didn't diminish his value, like, at all. If anything, he proved he was a Top-4 D, something he didn't quite do before this season.
I would disagree with that. He started on the top pairing, and is now on the third. He hasn't had many extended runs with the same partner. I can't recall but I am sure someone will if he has been a scratch at all this year.
I don't think either have diminished their value. Chuck was a top 5 scorer before getting hurt. No team wanting to trade for him is going to overlook that. He's been brutal since coming back but that could very well be injury related. His value is as high as it's ever been, slump or no slump.It feels like both AG and NB are most likely to be traded.

Did it kill us long term, no of course not but on the flip side we wasted 3+ years of Price's prime. Our best chance at winning the cup were those years that Price was in his prime, Markov/Plekanec were still contributing, and young guys like Galchenyuk, Gallagher were on cheap ELC.
Had we paid the price and gotten a real top-6 player maybe some of those years we would've had a much better chance at the cup.
Beaulieu plays 20 minutes a game. How is that NOT Top-4 ?
