Without knowing the context of what he was ignored about, I really can't draw any conclusions here. Trying to play GM by getting Bergevin to sign some random Russian? Yeah, I don't blame Bergevin for ignoring him. It just depends on the context.

who cares? when u have such a deep blueline you dont need to treat bums like Markov (who) w respect

It says in the article, Bergevin would not discuss contracts with him. Just gave an offer and said "here you go, sign or don't sign."

Markov: I think we should keep Sergaechev, I think he’s an excellent defender, will be a mainstay on our blue line and I’d love to be the one to take him under my wing

Bergevin:

 

[Deficient Mode]

Can't give Markov 2 years but can give Alzner 5 years I guess. Anything to make the blue line less skilled.

 

[dechire]

From a non-Habs fan perspective, he treated both Radulov and Markov terribly this summer. Just completely f***ed up both situations. I don't think it has anything to do with nationality though. He's just a shitty GM who thinks "winning" a negotiation and losing the player is preferable to compromising with the player and building a better team.

Alzner plays with more grit, that's a huge bonus in Bergevin's mind.

 

[Sol]

Oh Habs, more entertaining off the ice than on the ice.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Alzner plays with more grit, that's a huge bonus in Bergevin's mind.

Who even needs to break the puck out? Certainly not an NHL team with a top four of Weber, Benn, Alzner, Petry!

He has already put the team in a bad spot long-term with the Weber trade (and the Price deal to a lesser extent). Giving Markov an extra year isn't going to change anything.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Bergevin and Therrien really destroyed this team with their bullshit haha.

 

[D Wakaluk]

I'd really like to know what russians have done to MB since he likes to treat them like dogshit.

Glad he found another diamond in the ruff in Alzner though

 

[Jee]

Bergevin is a bad GM, regardless of the language he speaks.

 

[Fantomas]

So glad Sergachev is no longer there.

 

[The Macho King]

So glad Sergachev is no longer there.

Me too

 

[Baxterman]

Are people in here really upset that the Canadiens didn't sign Markov? He seemed brutal last year when I watched the Habs.

As for the article seems like a lot of sour grapes from a guy who isn't good enough. Easier to blame the GM for his "disrepect" than to look in the mirror and lower expectations.

I am no fan of Bergevin but I don't see how he is in the wrong here.

 

[Syckle78]

My favorite gm in the league. Guy is the gift that keeps on giving for non-hab fans. Guess he's a gift that keeps on giving for hab fans,too. In a herpes kinda way.

Markov isn't a top D in the NHL anymore, but he was still better than anyone else not named Weber on that roster, plus he can actually move the puck. He's played almost 1,000 games for the Habs. I mostly only watch the Habs when they're playing against the Sens, but I've seen him play since he was a rookie and for most of his career, he was an excellent player for the Habs. He was needed on this roster and to top it all off, the Cap wasn't even an issue.

The Sens kind of did the same shitty thing to Alfredsson, lifelong face of the franchise and they screw around with him on his last contract. At the end of the day, both sides were pretty close and something could have been worked out, but ultimately, the wrong decision was made. Same thing seems to have happened with Markov.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Marc is just trying to deter further Russian collusion

 

[schnapshot]

Doesn’t sign our 2nd best D, trades our best D prospect, signs Mark Streit, says the defence is better than last year.

What a time to be a Habs fan.

Where did you read that in the article?

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Bergevin is seriously poison to that franchise....trades a huge fan favorite, then low balls Radulov, now this.. Dude needs to be shot out of a cannon

 

[LeHab]

I'd really like to know what russians have done to MB

He did went out to sign Radulov and Semin...

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Alzner plays with more grit, that's a huge bonus in Bergevin's mind.

Bruins and kings gave Habs and Canucks managemnt ptsd.

Canucks are starting to recover though.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Russians are not really on Julien teams. He chased Koko off Boston, chased Markov radulov and sergachev away too. Didn't Koko's agent call out the Habs coaching this year?

I don't think it's a coincidence between Russians not being on Julien teams and Julien was the Habs coach when Kovalev was slashed at the blueline and gave up an open ice OT winner. I think Julien eventually lost his job.
