Marc Bergevin: Offseason Summertime Love Edition

[holy]

He may not have a plan, but he does have a plant.

 

[DAChampion]

Did I miss anything?

 

[Ozmodiar]

MB really needs to spend the Cap space this off-season. There's plenty of options available: UFA's, RFA's, good players going cheap, dead cap weight coming with assets.

Pas d'excuses this year.

Honestly, I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The guy didn't even know Kevin Hayes had signed last Thursday. He probably had no idea of what the UFA market looked like back then. He likely played hardball in his negociations with other GMs for a LHD without knowing what the hell was going to be available on the UFA market. FFS. The guy didn't even know our team when he was hired. That's what happens when you hire a senile Serge Savard to hire the next GM of the Montreal Canadiens. Molson needs to get his hands off the decision making process when we FINALLY hire a new GM.

MB said he snet invites out to a few free agents, to interview with the Habs, any names anyone is hearing? Or just the usual speculating?

He should talk to the Knights... They need to Offload some players before game day! And we could get a 1st in this!

Question:

Is Marc Bergevin a good representation of the Montreal Canadiens culture?

Does he live up to the standards that we (should) have when it comes to such a historic team and legacy?

It's not even close....Youppi has more of an idea on how to do the job, than MB....

Did he actually admit he didn't know that Hayes did sign last week??

I remember when he first came in. He admitted knowing f*** all about our prospects or our players...

Next time we're looking for a GM, I hope it's not down to Serge Savard and Geoff Molson's decision.

Well for crying out loud we should be able to take in a bad contract with no more than 2 years left without any problem.

Ideally we pick up the top pair LHD we need, but failing that , trading Cap space at least for a really good draft pick or two should be obtainable.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Bergevin already knows if Duchene will sign with us or not after they have already talked pre-July. Someone from the media should interview him and see what his attitude is like these days.

Bergevin missed big time on Miller.

He is the best dressed GM
That is all that mathers for him ans Geofff

 

[Runner77]

Totally agree. Price was dirt cheap and Miller can play both sides.

GMGM looks like he can be exploited. MB needs to get on that action.

Yes because the Habs are a regressive organisation in this day and age.

Obviously not, but in Montreal the lunatics run the asylum.

George McPhee is not the General Manager of the Golden Knights.

JT Miller?

It's funny because the talk around here in Vancouver is that they overpaid.

Edit: I see this is about colin Miller.

Obviously yes. He speaks French.

Free Agency is upon us, and this is the time of the year where fans talk about who they think the team should sign/trade.

Here is what I would do.

Sign Duchene 8.5 M for 5 years
Sign Keith Kinkaid as a backup
Trade Paul Byron and Alexander Romanov to Philadelphia for Shayne Ghostisbehere

Tomas Tatar - Matt Duchene - Jonathan Drouin
Max Domi - Philip Danault - Brandon Gallagher
Artturi Lekhonen - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Joel Armia
Nicolas Deslauriers - Ryan Poehling - Andrew Shaw

Shayne Ghostisbehere - Shea Weber
Victor Mete - Jeff Petry
Brett Kulak - Xavier Ouellet/Mike Reilly

Carey Price
Keith Kinkaid

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

And Kessel's off the board...

Remember, we can't make trades and even if we could, star players never move.

**upon meeting Duchene for the first time**

MB *shaking hands with MD*, "Bienvenue a Montréal, Mathieu!"

MD "wuuu.."

MB's PA whispers "yé pas francais, Marc"

MB "pas frança, crisse, y sappelle Du Chêne!"

You know Kessel had a NTC, right? I'll try to find the tweet/article, but they said Kessel's list was basically 7 teams that the Pens couldn't/wouldn't trade him to, plus Arizona.

 

[The Price is Right]

As usual will do nothing. Probably get some fringe NHLer... and a backup goalie... That's all he can do but to get a big name ya right.... Every team is the East is improving except us..

If we could’ve got Kessel in a trade for Chucky, we should’ve. Galchenyuk’s value is at an all time low right now even compared to last season. They took a huge gamble on Domi, and atleast for one year, it worked. We’ll see moving forward.

At the time of the Domi-Galchenyuk I would've agreed that Kessel would've been way better, but with hindsight obviously Domi is better for us.

Also, I don't think Pittsburgh was shopping Kessel last summer. They were only a year removed from back-to-back cups with Kessel being a huge part of it. It was just this year's sweep that made them want to shake things up.
