LeBrun: Bergevin willing to move 1st rounder.

[Pietrangelo]

To what end? It's not like they're a scoring winger away from competing for a Cup. They're not even a scoring winger away from being a lock for the playoffs. They were 24th in the league for a reason.

It’s a good thing you’re not a GM of any franchise, nothing would ever get done lmao.

 

[Positive Vibes]

some of these comments man smh...

 

[glenbuis]

I wonder if we could package domi , mete and a second for a pick in the 5-10 range than trade our own first , fleury/juulsen, prospect for rakell .

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Bergevin seems to have more clues than at least 2/3 of the leagues gms . Personnaly I think he is top 5 . He has arguably the top prospect pool in the entire league. He has a ton of picks in the next two drafts . He’s one of a only a handful of gms who understands working with a salary cap . So far this off season he’s picked up a solid backup goaltender and a big mobile physical defender for a couple mid to late picks . He has lots to work with to obtain/upgrade a couple goal scorers whether thru trades or free agency . With the exception of one signing (alzner) and one questionable trade (drouin/sergachev) his track record is excellent . Let me guess , I bet your a fan of a team who has about 6 million in cap space to sign 9 guys .

I’m sure you do! Every cult has a few true believers.

Not that I want Laine at all but saying Domi, 16th overall, and Fleury wouldn’t get this done is very arguable.
Adding 2 or 3rd from following year or Hillie and Teasdale.
I wouldn’t do this, especially with the add ons. But to think we can’t afford Laine is laughable.
And Ehlers can pound sand

It's time to head back to the habs forum and make believe there is anything at all on your team that the jets need to get better. I especially like the one where they think we want chiarot back in winnipeg. We let him walk cause he was crap whose top skill was icing the puck but in Montreal he is top pairing. Same goes for Armia.

Jets sure seem to have shot for the moon after his departure

nothing you just said made any sense except for you needing armia and Chariot back lol

 

[dfunk]

Shaking my head at some of the replies here.

it’s so stupid to trade a mid first round pick or maybe some prospects in order to compete now when you have only a couple years left of a legit top pairing defenseman and one of the best goalies in the world?

really?

this is from a leafs fan. In my opinion they’d be smart to go for it in the next 2-3 years. Oh and don’t they have that little thing called cap space too? That not many teams have?

Chariot was no good but Beaulieu is a keeper That is way to funny

Yeah they got tossed around by the flames . Boy what a fight they put up to

That is the reason why the Habs should be moving picks and prospects its because Weber and Price only have a few years left. What happens when Price and Weber leave/retire? then the Habs are stuck looking for another number 1Dman which is f***ing hard to find and another starting goalie which is some what hard to find. Habs are screwed if they do or don't might as well take the plunge now and see what happens because its just going to get harder anyways.

The opportunity is now to try and make some semblance of a run. If they believe Suzuki and KK will continue to trend upwards, along with Price and Weber still being very good, it makes sense. The Habs aren’t in the best situation, that’s for sure, but I can understand the advantage they have now (two potential Top 6 centres on ELCs)

Will gladly take another Armia if you had more . It’s funny that Armia would have helped you a lot when yous were being pushed around like that by Calgary . You have to admit it must have been so embarrassing how yous went down without a whimper

 

[glenbuis]

I’m sure you do! Every cult has a few true believers.

Well I’m a big believer in bergevin . At least his team put up a reasonable showing this year . Chevyldale must have been cringing watching the jets lay down like a cheap rug

 

[Walt22]

Habs really shot to the top after dumpster diving. Worst players that we had to include a draft pick to get rid of and one we let walk for free knowing we where losing 2 other dmen....but some how are the best players in Montreal. What does that make the guys they passed. Yikes.

 

[Qwijibo]

Romanov is not a blue chip d. A very good prospect d but not blue chip. I'd move him and tke my chances with Norlinder.

Most hockey pundits disagree

I am a Habs fan......Bergevin is a donkey that should have been fired 3-4 years ago. The habs have accomplished absolutely nothing with this clown running the show. His claim to fame, is lower expectations and move the goalposts every year

You guessed wrong....

 

[bernmeister]

Buch + 22OA
for
16OA + Juulsen

J is surplus and injury history/risk, is depth if/when we move DeAngelo, and can get mins while we wait for Nils L to get here.
Also trading Buch gives his mins to Krav, Kakko, etc
NY moves up slightly

Habs get a useful W and still have a later mid pick for a center mid pick.

thoughts?

Reasonable showing? Habs are the bottom of the league team got invited to a tournament that no one wanted to be locked in a bubble away from their families to play in. Having montreal was like inviting the slow kid to play street hockey with you and let him score a goal.

 

[BBB24]

Not sure how this is news worthy, every team will move their first round pick for the right price.. Media likes to make stories out of nothing.

Check out the AHL rosters..there are all sorts of 27 year old Armia level players there.

The Habs are my second favourite team and it’s sad to see how they’ve been spinning their wheels going nowhere during the Bergevin years. Bergevin is a bottom 10 GM. Probably realistically bottom five. I’m shocked he’s still employed. I don’t really care about Winnipeg tbh. That’s your schtick.

He’s always said the opposite and he’s never moved his pick before the draft.

 

[BBB24]

So you are saying he has turned down every offer regardless of what was offered, and only this year he would move it. Ok then, I guess that would make him the only GM in that category, rest assured every GM will move any player for the right price at anytime, Habs GM is no different.
