I get that you’re angry because MB made a couple bad moves, but things are finally moving in the right direction.
Try being a Caps, Pens, Leafs, or Lightning fan right now. THEY have reasons to be angry.
For the record, it wasn't just a "couple" of bad moves. Bergevin's first 7 years were abysmal. However, he's begun a turnaround last summer but has made a ton of indefensible assertions and decisions overall. His laundry list has been recited many a time on this forum, so no need to go there.
And I'd much rather have the Caps, Leafs and Lightning rosters right now and have had the Stanley Cups the Pens have produced and that the Caps earned last year, while the Habs have been mired in mediocrity.
So what they didn't advance to the finals this year, it's all par for the course. Point is none of them finished in no man's land, earning the worse lottery pick available while seeing no playoffs.
The Habs's comparable is the Rangers. And the Rangers have taken a position and stuck with it. Their rebuild is earning them the type of assets that the Habs should have had a shot at, on the upcoming draft.
Back to Ouellet, he's just a housekeeping move. He's an asset to Laval and you need those type of players on an AHL team. He's too far down the Habs depth chart to argue about. To each his own, I guess.
