Nobody cares of where he's born. He has a french last name, from a french father, and he speaks french. He will be treated as a franco here. Just like Giroux would have been treated like a Quebecer too if he would have been here.

Good news for the other GM's in the NHL is if they're trying to dump a 4th line grinder call Marc Bergevin.. He is your friend and he's happy to help.
I wonder if we could field an entire line up of 3rd and 4th liners.
De La Rose-Desharnais-Mitchell
Byron-Eller-Flynn
Matteau-McCarron-Brown
Lessio-Danault-Carr
HOLY HELL, we can field an entire roster of 3rd and 4th liners. This is nuts, I've never seen anything like this. The funny part is, these are players on the roster right now wiht only Desharnais and Carr being hurt. Insane.

You don't know ?
People would still complain if MB traded DSP, Weise and Flash for a top 6 bonafide 40 goals scorer.
And since the return is guys with Francophone names, the whining is real.

Bergevin has changed his trade targets from "grinders" to "french grinders". It's a new regime.

we all know that this was a major part of the move...
i was not a big fan of trading sekac for him, nor of his generally ineffective play for us... but i also think that with a better head coach, we could have got a lot more out of him, and i won't be surprised to see him do well elsewhere... was a kid who needed to do some maturing as a pro, but had all the tools & seemed to genuinely love playing here/fit in well with the team.
bad decision given the return is more of what we already have in spades and less of what we need (DSP being a better current and future potential offensive contributor)
except in franchise that have excellent leadership... You don't hear that from the truly elite sport management teams in the sport world.
until we get that kind of leadership, i don't really see the point in trying to make excuses/soften the fair criticism levied on mediocre-or-worse leadership groups...
but i expect the team to want to build a winner, not just make money
Well, that went as expected. No chance this team goes into full rebuild mode (with Subban, Price and Pacioretty at their prime) with reason. Sad Bergevin couldn't get rid of Desharnais but he has basically negative value.
Oh well, what a terrible TD. Probably the worst since I've started following hockey 15 years ago.

that is impressive...
I've been wrong about Bergevin all along, he DOES have a plan & a vision... make the habs THE premier grinder halfway house of the league.
sly as fox that man is.

wow this just in people like to see local kids on their team shocker
people in toronto say it about toronto players, people in new york say it about new york kids, but it's only an issue when it's a Quebecer. Interesting.
This is the most depressed I've been in 15 years following this team. I wasn't even this depressed after a major breakup. At least then I knew there was a hope for a fresh start. There is no light at the end of the tunnel with this regime.
Typo during Marc-Edouard Vlasic's interview on Spanre within the hour, which they corrected halfway through but not before this showed for an extended time:
lol!!!
