Geoff Molson has meet Patrick Roy...

almost every month according to rumors

 

[Archijerej]

I think it's a disaster if true.

Not that Bergevin is leaving, but that Roy could be his replacement. A potentially Rejean Houle-level blunder.

I think Roy is too impulsive for the job. Chantal Machabée mentionned at TLMEP that Martin Madden would be his candidate, but everyone will speculate untill its officially done.

Indeed Roy would be no better. His ego is even bigger than Bergevin's. They have to stop locking themselves in this franco box and open up to looking at everyone no matter the language they speak.

Ya that's what they need, a guy that in all these years has never become a GM and has no experience at any level in the position.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Meh Bergevin is a big failure for this org for a whole decade.
Him leaving his pretty obvious at this point , We all know it screams Patrick Roy coming as the next GM.

He might be impulsive and ''not better'' but if he fires Timmins and start rebuilding and build a f***ing defense and re-vamp the entire drafting and dev of rookies ill give him a shot.

The house needs a big cleaning. Bergevin can't clean his own shit that's obvious at this point.

Also saying Roy has no experience is a bit dumb , he's been managing the remparts for a while now. Atleast he didnt hire 40 persons (Bozovin) to take dumb decisions.


We'll see , They are better candidates for sure but as long it'S not Darche or Damphousse , it's an upgrade to Bergevin washed up vision.

Patrick hates losing. Bergevin removed that “no excuses” sign pretty quickly.

Patrick has a huge ego but guys loved playing for him. Bergevin has a huge ego, and most guys don’t like his negotiating style. Other than the ones he likes.

Patrick has won at every level as a player and a manager. Bergevin has not, and continues to fail his way into minor successes.

Bergevin isn’t getting the job done. It’s painfully obvious is it not by this point? He’s pissed away every opportunity he’s had, and he’s had a ton, and the team is still without an identity. Some of it isn’t his fault, but most of it is…

Patrick is one of the few guys with the stones to actually burn down the old boys club that’s set up shop, he’s got the pedigree that keeps the media in check, he’s a Franco, and he loves (and thrives under) the spotlight. And whatever he does, you know he’d be entertaining at least.

Roy's stint in Colorado is not inspiring me confidence he can cut it at the NHL level.

Why don't we wait until Roy proves something with the Remparts before he is even in consideration for an NHL gig?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Let's go with Motherf***ing Patrick Roy!


At least it would be hilarious

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Love Roy for everything he did with our habs has a player but please stay far away from him for GM

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Roy's stint in Colorado is not inspiring me confidence he can cut it at the NHL level.

coaching and being a GM is not the same thing.
I can understand why he didnt like having a boss since he's his own boss with Remparts.

But if he gets the job as GM in Montreal Roy will have all the power he wants and will only need to focus to build the team instead of coaching and do all the rest.
But yeah Roy as a coach in the NHL was not a success but it was even wors from Wayne the great.

We'll see. Atleast we would have a winner at the top of the org instead of a guy building his team with scraps and ''grit''

Why don't we wait until Roy proves something with the Remparts before he is even in consideration for an NHL gig?

LHJMQ and the NHL are 2 complete different things lmao.

 

[Gjman2019]

Wanted Gorton but i knew that wasn't realistic based on the language situation...

I'm ok with them taking their chances with Patrick...Can't be any worse than what's been going on with the team in recent years........Habs are in desperate desperate need of a new scouting and development department and philosophy....

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Uh, he’s won a Memorial Cup? And his teams are annually league championship contenders, the teams he has put together.





He’s also won a Jack Adams at the NHL level.

Bad time of year to fire Bergs. Majority of top candidates are working elsewhere. Teams like Tamp a don't want to lose a Darche in mid season. Its different than in summer.

 

[Draft]

No interest in having a lame duck GM when we've got a promising core and no clear direction. Bergevin should move out on a high note and let the next guy make the hard decisions.

By all accounts, Rejean Houle is a very nice man in every day life. He just isn't a savy GM.

Roy is a bit of a prick in certain ways, but MAY be a very savy GM. Being a prick has one good thing about it: he does things his way, and isn't trying to make anybody happy. He would have a vision and stick to it. Now whether it's a good vision is obviously the key.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Molson using some of his own negotiating tactics maybe?

 

[superstar436]

I call this BS but If molson does this, he is dumber than dumb.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I call this BS but If molson does this, he is dumber than dumb.

Because getting Patrick Roy instead of extending Bergevin due to all Price success was clearly a better idea.

Also it's known that Molson is a known idiot in the hockey sphere , proof he hasnt fired this clown after 10 years.

Anyways this org will always get french canadian candidates , might as well be him than Vincent Damphousse or freaking Mathieu Darche .

 

[The Great Weal]

Molson's an idiot for believing in MB and Timmins when Brisebois wanted to come here.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I am not against Roy but I sure hope that if it's the case they will remove all the hockey ops, development & amateur scouting personnel.
I want a clean state with new idea.

Man we missed a big boat on that one , still hurts.

You are 100% correct , Timmins needs to be fired and the entire development of scouting needs a new era. This is the first thing the new GM should do.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Molson should drop the "just speak French" part.

I'm sure those who only speak French would prefer a team that wins over a team that had a French speaking GM and if it has both, then great.

Habs limit themselves. They've been with the current GM (and other staff) too long.
