And I don't feel the need to compare Bergevin with others to know if he does a good job or not. It's extremely loser to feel good about our GM 'cause he actually might not be the worst out there. Point is, in Montreal, you don't need good. You might not even need great. You need top 5. In scouting. And in management. 'Cause there are extra stuff to deal with here that you don't have to elsewhere. And now, you also need to be so great now that you have to compensate for the ineptitude of the present GM that just can't attract UFA in your city, not only because it snows, it's cold and taxes but also mostly because you don't win. To a point that our main argument is Carey Price that will say to UFAs that his window is shorter, so his desire to win is even greater now.
Then, they listen to the GM in press conference who will state that we are staying the course. Will let the kids develop. And we're counting on Price and Weber to play like Chara till 41, just to be sure our window is huge.....
Again, you should start seeing things in different colours than black and white. Yes, Bergevin is not the worst. He made some very moves. But we need MORE than that to be relevant. We need to build a complete team. Strong at every position. Would be neat to see his plan come to fruitition when Price and Weber won't be good enough to support it....but with a plan like...''well they could play till 41, see Chara...'' you know that you are not in good hands.
And don't worry, I can deal with your opinions. If not, I wouldn't answer you. Question is...can you deal with mine?
