And now we will shit on him to no end.Pretty much everyone here believed we won the trade... you guys did know it involved a top 5 GM vs a bottom 5 one right? You guys did know one of the best organizations chose a smaller 3rd rounder, instead of an exciting 3rd overall right? You guys did know he's an ace on the PP but stuggled to produce 5 on 5 right? Not saying he's a bad player, but we were asking him to be a go-to player, and the odds of that happening were pretty freaking low.
Disagree 100%.would take him over Sergachev, any day of the week. Couldn't imagine how bad Serg would be on this edition of the Canadiens, it would be awful

FactsBased on what ? People are having a hard-on for Victor Mete ; a dude with 3 assists in 22 games while being -2. Nothing special yet we sell him as if he was a top 2 defenceman in the making.
When they drafted Sergachev, they said he had what it took to be the ''next Andrei Markov''.
Sergachev would've learned a lot if he had the opportunity to play with Markov but nope ... let's get rid of both of them !
Drouin floats on the ice.
Imagine if they traded Matt Duchene for Galchenyuk ! I'm puking just thinking about it.
I remember when Bergevin was hired, he said he wanted a team that would be intimidating to play against. Worked out great.
...management and PR put immense pressure on him to avoid facing scrutiny this summer.

"When you have the chance to get your hands on a player of Jonathan's talent at a young age, it's very important," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said of the 22-year-old from Ste-Agathe, Quebec. "This opportunity probably hasn't been available to me in five years. Plus, he's a kid from here, so for me it was a decision I had to make.
"Giving up Sergachev was not easy, but acquiring Jonathan was a chance we couldn't pass up."
"We were looking for that type of player and we were able to find a fit. That's why the trade was made. The Montreal Canadiens were looking for a forward. That was the forward they targeted from us."
If the organization never stops pretending he's Sidney Crosby to mask the ineptitude of management and fails to add an actual top C to the squad eventually (via Draft, signing JT or trade), I can see his development stalling and maybe even regressing.
I saw it coming from a mile away, if the team struggled, fans would turn on him because management and PR put immense pressure on him to avoid facing scrutiny this summer. Certainly struggling, but he's not a C nor a go to guy at this point, maybe eventually. But they need to put him in a situation he can succeed in and not keep him at C by default.
it's like anything else in life nowadays, we want it and we want it now......doesnt always work that way
