Speculation: Kent Hughes press conference (Jan 18 12:30PM TSN690)

[417]

Dorion told us the rebuild is over.

He was right.

He also told fans that the best thing about his team, is that they're a team.

 

[Scintillating10]

I suspect Hughes will be bringing up some of this:

Caproom be big this trade deadline. With Monahan on LTIR we now 5.1 million in caproom

 

[WeThreeKings]

He also told fans that the best thing about his team, is that they're a team.

Protect DJ Smith at all costs.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He won't outright say it, buy I do hope he'll give strong indications that we're in sell/rebuild mode for the rest of the season. There's no point in hiding it and you don't want to half ass it either. Might as well send a clear message to the coaching staff and the players.

 

[sheed36]

Kent Hughes announces he will be stepping down effective immediately and Marc Bergevin appears before us with even bigger biceps than ever.

Bergevin quickly announces that the team needs to move in a new direction and hires the much improved Micheal Therrien.

Theories then proceeds to talk about how he spent the past 15 months in Tibet with the monks and budists to become a better person than all of us . He also states he figured out a way to turn Caufield into the NHL's best grinder.

Love the accolade, now let’s see what kind of work-product turns out.

Bergevin used to be known as a guy working the phones too

 

[Habs13]

Bergevin used to be known as a guy working the phones too

Yeah but he was working them phones calling for deals on supplements and better hotdogs.

I see this as a message to the other GM's way more than it is to us fans or to the media. This, to me at least, is the announcing of the upcoming trade deadline extravaganza-GANZA-ganza! Shop now! We're selling!

Unfortunately; what we're selling is water damaged warehouse stock that went out of fashion some years ago and has noticeable stains and signs of wear. You all know the type of sale I'm alluding to.

 

[DAChampion]

Bergevin used to be known as a guy working the phones too

Yes but there was no strategy to his work ethic, he only ever thought one move ahead.

 

[BLONG7]

Bergevin used to be known as a guy working the phones too

Bergevin was often seen, by Pierre Lebrun talking into a cell phone, with no one on the other end....

 

[sandviper]

“This isn‘t Playstation? Are you serious? Look what I did with Florida and Zito”

 

[Runner77]

According to TSN690 yesterday it's scheduled to start at 12:30PM ET tomorrow.

That is correct, good Sir:

 

[Habs Halifax]

Post the questions you want the media to ask cause I am sure some members in the media will be reading parts of this thread to get some ideas about questions.

1) How is Caufield's extension going without talking specifics? Are you looking at bridge and long term options?

2) How do you see Slaf's development going so far. Lots of fans say he should be bigger minutes in the AHL.

3) Are you in talks with GM's on buyer teams? Is available cap space a bigger problem this deadline than last deadline?

4) What do you see next season looking like? Another learn on the fly season or do you expect the Habs to push for a playoff spot? Plans on spending cap space this summer? Or keeping the roster open for more youth to earn spots?

Good Qs. Not sure who reads these from the media but I’d like to know his stance on drafting Russian players now

 

[L4br3cqu3]

He also told fans that the best thing about his team, is that they're a team.

That was epic at the time...

 

[Redux91]

Looking forward to this honestly
Won't get all the answers but hopefully some!

 

[Redux91]

God I wish we couldn't actually see him and he was on the phone or something and all we see for 45 Mins is that "Don't care, hoes mad" picture of him while he talked lmao

Those seem like questions that should actually be asked, which means they won't be asked.

Montreal media is complete ass. Read that.
