You are one hundred percent correct.
Any wonder why the modern day Canadiens are easy to dislike....and dismiss.
Concerned that Markov playing good will make Bozo look bad????
Haaaaaaa ! From the school of Harold Ballard Management.
Marc Bergevin is all about Marc Bergevin and everyone can see it, he is the single biggest detriment to this team having the success it should have. He inherited a decent team and all he had to do was add to it and yes that would mean that he would have had to make tough decisions along the way but at least he should have turned what he had into something instead of tearing it apart and then have the stupid idea that he actually made things better.
He still forges on with the quest to find the next Paul Byron while being unable to address the real needs of the team, he is wasting time, year after year. Prospects are great and there are some here that are quick to defend him by listing their names but the same people will defend Drouin or Lehkonen because they claim that those players need more time. It would be then safe to conclude(based on their logic) that the 4-5 good young prospects will also need "more time". Posters talk as if Poehling and Suzuki and Brook will walk in and take over and you and I both know that will not happen.
You also know that other teams have good prospects and also that they are not going to sit by and wait for Bergevin to finally get that winning lotto number, proactively well run teams are always trying to get better but we are stuck in transition/rebuild/make the playoffs/reset mode.
