How much did Bergevin’s trade deadline deals lead to the Habs terribly mishandling their recalls and the cap?
Arpon Basu in The Athletic today said there was a big deal that didn’t materialize at the deadline, which then led to scrambling for Plan B - Gustafsson and the recall fiasco.How much did Bergevin’s trade deadline deals lead to the Habs terribly mishandling their recalls and the cap?

It looks more & more as if the org was banking on the DeAngelo move.
TSN690 said today Habs will use last recall on Romanov by the weekend after shuffling $ downThat's so pathetic. In that scenario... settle for Merill and be done! Now we have Romanov stuck on taxi squad and spare parts Kulak. What did we need Gustafson for?? Evans and Caufield are going to get bumped out of the line-up soon because we will have to play the useless twins. (Byron and Drouin) All because of this dumb, dumb, dumb decision to trade for Gustafson.

I suspect if the Habs win a few games here, wouldn’t shock me if Weber is out injured and use Romanov as emergency call up, same for Caufield, Evans etcI'm not sure they can...
I thought he was already 1 out of the 4 recalls as they send him down and 2 mins later called him back up on deadline dayTSN690 said today Habs will use last recall on Romanov by the weekend after shuffling $ down
Merrill, Gustafsson, OuelletI thought he was already 1 out of the 4 recalls as they send him down and 2 mins later called him back up on deadline day
This is frightening to think they thought adding a Sean Avery character type is the glue needed to solidify the team. Just stinks of rotting garbage.Arpon Basu in The Athletic today said there was a big deal that didn’t materialize at the deadline, which then led to scrambling for Plan B - Gustafsson and the recall fiasco.

Staal - last 15 games has 1 pt and a -10, costs 1.625M in cap and a '21 3rd/5th round pick
Gus - has played 4 games, 2 pts,+1, costs 1.5M in cap and a '22 (STL) 7th round pick
Merrill - has no pts and is a -6 in his last 5 games, he costs 925K and a '21 5th (Sens) plus Verbeek.
good stuff.

I have no issue with them taking a chance on a vet for depth. But he's demonstrated no ability to be able to keep up. There's no reason for us to continue playing him and yet we do. We should be giving that ice to others.
Clear F, made the team worse while causing complete shenanigans with cap/roster recall. He can’t be gone soon enough.had to update it to an F...
the bumbling of the cap/roster space & waiving an RFA youth <1M$, all to add a press box player in Gustafsson, was absolutely pathetic.
The complete failure of pro scouting on Staal also has continued to get more and more evident.
Complete failure as a GM, gave up assets, didn't improve the team, hurt his coach/team's roster flexibility at a crucial time of the year. Just plain incompetent roster management.
There are 8 posters who gave this f***ery an A and 39 B’s. only in Montreal can you make your team worse, f***up the cap, roster recall and strip flexibility away from your coach and receive an A or B grade for your efforts.
I was surprised more people didnt vote F initially honestly lolStaal - last 15 games has 1 pt and a -10, costs 1.625M in cap and a '21 3rd/5th round pick

Also less chance to randomly draft someone good.Less picks = less possibilities for Timmins to make errors.
