How does Bergevin make it through this summer as GM? Missed out on Tavares, missed out on ROR. The only notable player he signed in FA was Thomas Plekanec.
He actually did a good job this summer: No bad contract to UFA's, no overpayment in a ROR trade, pretty decent draft too. I think Kotkaniemi will be a stud and it was the right pick for them despite the pressure to take Zadina.
Also I watched enough Alex Galchenyuk over the years to believe that there's a good chance the Habs will win that trade.
Now it's possible that Bergevin didn't overpay for UFA's because he knew that Weber was done though.
