That is what happens when the GM announce to the world that he will not re-sign a player.

No shit Sherlock. After you announce to the whole world that you're not negotiating a new term with him, don't intend to re-sign him and want to trade him, what do you expect?

To be fair, Bergevin didn't "announce" any of the above.

What is a market value offer? Isn't what a GM is willing to pay for a specific player in a trade "market value"? Because market value includes things like recent performance, overall play, being good in the room, etc. And when there are questions about several of those things should it be a surprise that a players value isn't as high as you'd like?

Not in the literal sense, but figuratively speaking all his actions pointed to that. He's been getting shopped around for a while.
At this point, I'd hold on to him until the trade deadline, ship him to a contender and get what you can then. It'll be our best bet to get something decent back.
You missed a quote:
"Remember that controversy when it was alleged former coach Michel Therrien was overheard at a golf tournament saying Patches was the worst captain in Canadiens history?"
LOL

The offers aren't likely to get any better this summer, especially with Skinner also still on the market. If he can come in and get off to a hot start they might be able to make a better deal in-season.

Maybe he's the one that doesn't understand the market?

Therrien is an oaf, but not necessarily wrong. It's either Keane, Turgeon, or Pacioretty and for entirely different reasons.
Bergevin may not have said it but it was leaked that Montreal won’t be presenting him a contract to stay

I still expect the Canadiens to get a decent return on Patches. Have to see what happens.

No-one likes selling low.
Well... here’s where we normally make fun of Bergevin, Chiarelli and Benning.

A fair offer is the market value less the value of management trash talking him and less the value of the desperation everyone smells on Montreal. My guess...a second round pick and a B prospect

Just wait until the TDL. Some team will be in the thick of a playoff race, have a forward injury and will pony up something half assed good.
Unless he repeats his past year performance. Then you might be in the back to back 2nd rounders territory.
Even then, better than nothing!

Yea I agree here. I think to get the best value he will need to be traded in season or near the trade deadline. They can hope he has a rebound season to boost what they can get.

Leaked or someone just threw shit at the wall and hoped it stuck ?
Unless the GM comes out and says that specifically, no matter how dumb the GM is, doesn't make it true.
Look at the number of people who already misquoted it.
