Post-Game Talk: Gorton & Hughes End of Season Media Avail 9:30Am EST

[HuGo Sham]

I don't like Guhle on the right side. If there was an opportunity to trade Matheson for a quality RHD i would do it.

it's not happening. I think they should deal him too, but a local kid who just had a 62 pt season? not happening.

 

[Rapala]

yup and KH will
it is so needed, I have faith KH will do just that

I agree.

Hughes has always come across to me as someone who believes that
"it's not what you put into your mouth that can hurt you but what comes out of it".
Totally diametrically opposed to his predecessor.

 

[Redux91]

for sure...
but I think they'll do that anyway -
and ultimately take the F at 5.
I think HuGo comes away with two F's on draft day...
a newhook / Dach type trade and catton/lidstrom/iginla

And the rebuild will be complete,
And fully operational.

 

[Gravity]

MBs biggest problem was he would not overpay to fix a glaring whole. Won a lot of trade battles but lost the war so to speak

His biggest problem was that he had no vision. Didn't commit to rebuilding or contending. Wanted his cake and to eat it too.

It would be so Habslike to see Lindstrom leave the board just before the Habs pick.

Covfefe ...

I'm lost here but that wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Whitesnake]

It's almost like everyone was watching a different presser from everyone else.

Well it depends what you are looking form. I'm personnally looking for information. Players coming and not coming back. What we will do with coaches. What happens with certain guys in Europe. UFA and RFA guys. Even if we don't always get clear, cut answers....you still can read.

To me the only great info from that presser was MSL extension. Same as far as the questions regarding assistants. Everything regarding what do you tihnk of the progression...come on...

Molson wanted that and Bergevin followed the order. Molson was scared that fans would not accept a total rebuild. His new management convinced him that it was the way to go. The Covid Stanley Cup Finals was the tree which was hiding the forest. The career-ending injuries to Weber and Price destroyed the card castle. MB has done many good moves to get guys like Petry, Chiarot, Danault, Edmundson, Weber, Toffoli, Perry, Suzuki and few more. But the season after the Cup run, with his two stars gone, Danault gone, KK gone (uber bad third OA pick), he started panicking and tried to fill the breaches with guys like Hoffman, Dvorak, Dadonov. And Drouin just melted under the MTL pressure all along. Plus the mega huge contracts to Price and Gally. The signing of Alzner (Markov’s not signed) and the contract (too long and fat) to Anderson are also two negative moves. He has made other negative moves, I know. Massive injuries to key players did not help either.

There is no evidence to support this statement.

Have you ever heard Molson's interviews ? Many reporters have talked about it too. By giving part of his job to Gorton, he let the new group carte blanche to rebuild.

 

[Runner77]

Just a bummer how they were one pick away from Smith last year and how Hughes reportedly did all he could to move up.

We were also just one pick away from a shot at Svechnikov.

We need a break.

I have and I have never seen or heard anything that convinces me that Bergevin's lack of direction wasn't of his own volition.

You really aren’t good at hiding the fact that you’re wrong with such a lame response

Wrong

yes sir

 

[Guess]

I don't think there's been a draft yet that showed that management views things the way the fanbase on here does.

Personally, if they prefer the upside of a D to a forward, I'd rather they take a D. There is ALWAYS trade demand for young D, especially relative to forwards.

I don't know about that, we'll see how much Barron and Harris get traded for if they do leave in the offseason.

 

[David Suzuki]

They mentioned MSL was coaching with Brian Savage - curious what kind of work Savage has been doing. Can see a bit listed here:

Met him at the world juniors in Moncton he was hard on the vodka crans

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I get that trying to make the playoffs next year is the right thing to say but no team is competing for shit with that many Bergevin garbage players still on the roster. Keep focusing on the spring cleaning and development, the rest can wait one more season.

 

[WG]

You know what? I'm just ecstatic that we won't ever see more of Pearson and Colin White in a Habs jersey.

You have a very sharp eye if you managed to notice either of those guys during a game.

 

[River Meadow]

it's not happening. I think they should deal him too, but a local kid who just had a 62 pt season? not happening.

30yr old's are kids still?

dang

Like Pasta, Like Shane Doan

Hopefully Lady Luck is on our side this time!!

I think it’s english fir “ti gars de chez nous”

 

[HabbyGuy]

Reality slowly sets in that we won't sit down and have a game together for a good 4 months.

Ill miss you GDT boys.

Or is it Buffalo?

This board really needs a 'CRYING' react button.
