Speculation: Discussing the Next GM (Part 2)

[CrAzYNiNe]

A lot of posters here know my position on him as GM. I still can’t fathom he has lasted this long. Does this current losing streak put a lot of pressure on his job security or is it status quo in the front office. It’s been years since I have respected the words coming out of the front office, but their actions scream they have no clue where they are going. I can’t believe that signing Price to a 10.5M contract for 8 years allows for MB to ice a losing roster.

Is the end near?

No.

 

[jackeymoon]

The call up stinks of desperation

 

[Andrei79]

Can't believe he's still GM.

Anyone have sources within the org ? Please tell me they're at least discussing the possibility of changing the GM

They would have to be talking about this.............I would think, they would have talked about it in the summer, where by if the Habs started off this season rough, they would be ready. At this point I would think Youppi would be a better choice. I really could care less who it is going forward, just bite the bullet Geoff.

Fire this clown!!

 

[Zorba]

He’s going nowhere
He will be massively booed at the draft this summer
Molson is a fat little idiot that doesn’t care about winning
Only when the sheep stop going to games and Molson loses even More money , will he fire the idiot

 

[Gravity]

The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens:

 

[NobleSix]

I dont see him getting fired anytime soon, even though he deserves to be.

Honestly, when the time comes, I wouldn't be shocked at all if instead of firing him, Molson just promotes him to president of hockey operations.

That's the level of stupidity that this team has sunk to.

 

[OldCraig71]

It would be awesome to finally be able to visit this site and see the Confirmed with link heading announcing the firing of Bergevin. I have waited so long to read those words, please universe, Allah, baby Jesus let it happen soon!

 

[Tighthead]

Are any media speculating, credibly, that he is on thin ice?

I didn’t hear McGuire on 690 today.

 

[WeThreeKings]

If he's still here by the end of Friday, he's fine.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens:

Also representive of his time as a general manager.

Going the wrong way and doing the wrong things, let me just do something here to say I did something, ah yes, perfect. In da net.

 

[Tyson]

Can you imagine if the streak reaches say....11-12 games?

 

[Gamimenos]

His firing would just open the door to another GM who won't do any better. But at least they will speak French.

If we have learned anything here, is that sports and politics don't mix. We have gotten zero results with hiring the wrong people, because of language.

At some point the Habs will understand you have to hire the best people for the job, no matter what they speak...

Agreed. But this won't happen anytime soon. Apart from the fact that I haven't been convinced a different GM would have made this team better at this point, our pool of candidates is severely limited due to language restrictions in comparison to everyone else.

Molson: "If you're ever in a foxhole, you want that guy next to you. That's what Marc is to me."

 

[Censored Toad]

I'd wager he will fire Kirk as his get outta jail card. Kirk will fall first.

Please bring Xmas early and fire that GM... like HF Habs will have a melt down of excitement..... until they name MT as GM.

 

[BLONG7]

Molson: "If you're ever in a foxhole, you want that guy next to you. That's what Marc is to me."

Mol$on/Bergevin/Therrien all in da foxhole togedder..............smells a little funny, but they do all seem to deserve dat space.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

There have been so many instances where I was sure Bergevin was done as GM, and I’ve been wrong everytime, this is just another rough patch I’m sure he’ll weasel himself out of.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

I just don't see any progress with this franchise since Gainey. A lot of people love to talk about his tenure but I find he picked a direction and he tried. We all hate the Gomez trade but that trade with the UFA signings actually brought the team further in the playoffs then any team since the Cup win in 93. Sure he got fleeced, but that's why I keep saying it's not the end of the world to lose a trade if he makes you a better team. Gomez made the Habs better for a very short period of time, but as a kid in 93, that year was the most exciting hockey I watched as an adult.

And then we start looking at the roster, the prospects. The Habs prospects weren't great because they kept drafting at 15+. The fact they picked the wrong players didn't help either.

But just look at the roster turnover from 11-12 and through the years. No impact players in, none out until Subban was traded for Weber.

The top 10 for the Habs in 12-13: Max, PK, Pleks, Markov, Eller, Gallagher, DD, Galchenyuk, Gionta, Ryder
The top 10 for the Habs in 13-14: Max, PK, Pleks, Markov, Eller, Gallagher, DD, Galchenyuk, Gionta, Briere
The top 10 for the Habs in 14-15: Max, PK, Pleks, Markov, Eller, Gallagher, DD, Galchenyuk, Weise, Parenteau
The top 10 for the Habs in 16-17: Max, Markov, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Byron, Radulov, Weber, Danault, Shaw, Lehkonen
The top 10 for the Habs in 17-18: Max, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Pleks Petry, Byron, Weber, Danault, Lehkonen, Hudon
The top 10 for the Habs in 18-19: Gallagher, Domi, Tatar, Drouin, Petry, Byron, Weber, Danault, KK ,Shaw

The more he changed things from the previous regime, the worse the team got. 16-17 worked out well because Radulov was the only full season impact player he acquired without giving up something else. This man just doesn't know what he's doing.

 

[ahmedou]

What a troll he's.

The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens:

 

[OldCraig71]

This is Karma for Bergevin for the disrespectful way he treated Markov. The hockey Gods remember.

 

[HuGo Sham]
