Bergevin is a genius. His last gift to the organization..was premeditated since the PK trade. He planned everything. So genius!
Who, Bergebin will subsequently use as bait to bring in Darnell Nurse in exchange. Extend this man again!

Sorry guys it seems like I don't know how to use the quote and reply feature, All I wanted to say is I agree with Bryson's post. The stats are right there....
Hey Armaniac, welcome to the forum! All you have to do is press on the "reply" icon and the forum will automatically quote the post for you down at the bottom. Then you just type whatever you want after the quote. Hope that helps.
I don't think he really meant anything by it. I mean, they want to get better and win, short term, long term, make everything great again... What is short term? Was he talking about as soon as the next season? 2 years? 3? And what constitutes as an improvement?
I care more about the words that came out of Bergevin as he is the one hired to make those objectives come true. He said it would take time and they want to rebuild through draft-development. His actions were consistent with his words the first year, as he just got rid of some of the garbage here and signed bottom players. Pretty sure if he had his way, we would have ended with another top 3 pick.
You don't sign Prust, Armstrong and Bouillon after finished 28th and think this will improve us short term. So, really, I don't think the plan was to win the division or be in any form ''competitive'' right away.

I'll second Bryson's post. Welcome to our zoo.
I had trouble with Molson's statements for the reason you expounded -- and since he's not a hockey man, I agree with putting the onus of hockey decisions and the way they're going to be implemented, on Bergevin. Too many statements made by Bergevin were inconsistent with his actions over the long run and that continues to plague him but somehow, none of it seems to put his job in jeopardy. Molson's tolerance for Bergevin's dog and pony show is unknown, Molson doesn't come across as someone who will make rash decisions or statements. Or maybe, Molson doesn't really appreciate the extent of what has been going on. That proverbial leash is going to be something open to speculation this year, if this keeps up.

A reminder folks, the Subban discussion belongs in the Out of Town thread. Don't bring that debate in here please.

Fire Bergevin...into the Sun
Atleast Yakupov was traded out of that mess, sooner or later Chucky gets dealt, and probably becomes a very solid 70 point player.
What are the chances Bergevin makes a rash decision to deal this years first for immediate help only to have the pick end up in the 1-10 spot and screw us even harder in the long run.
Ya it's difficult to know where Molson's head is really at.
On one hand he's being a good owner on letting his GM take hockey decisions. On the other, he seems incapable of knowing his GM is doing a terrible job.
I could imagine a comity of ex-hab greats like Cournoyer, Lafleur and Savard telling him Bergevin's gotta go and he'd flip flop in a second. From reports last year, a couple of them were fed up with Bergevin holding on Therrien for so long and started letting their concerns be known. There's also of course Price.

He's a narcissist with delusions of self grandeur where he thinks he is the singular most intelligent hockey person who's ever lived.
So he just doesn't understand.

Been saying this for years. The guy is totally high on his own supply.
As for the poll, he's definitely looking for a way to get Burrows! He will grind us out of our troubles!

I see a light at the end of this tunnel. I hope it's the train the gets Barginbin fired. I hate to say it but I was hoping for a really good season or a really bad season, hopefully he rides this wreck into the ground. Then maybe we can hire by merit for a change instead of language.
How do you figure?
Why would he be looking to trade for Burrows?.....your post seems to be based on emotion

At the end of last season, Bergevin said "it's on the players".
He never genuinely takes responsibility for his failures. That's due to his narcissism.

Look at the poll options.
You have to have the inane straw man built so you can whip the masses to tear it down.

At some point you're going to have to admit that Bergevin is not good at his job.
The other day the girlfriend was laying into me for not loading the dishwasher properly, so I had to remind her just how long it took David Poile to reach the stanley cup finals.

Same here. She was mad at me for not being able to drive the girls to the gym and that she had to do it...to which I responded....Yeah, maybe, but I wasn't -3 like PK. End of argument.

Oh so it's what about Nashville and Dallas.
I wonder what the connection are between those two teams and the Habs.
So predictable.
