Marc Bergevin: Offseason Summertime Love Edition

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I can't wait for Bergevin to do jack shit and say some bs

 

[BLONG7]

Alright. So what’s the plan now, Marc?

He drafted a bunch of LD’s that won’t help our situation for a minimum of 3-4 seasons.

What’s the plan? Gardiner? A trade? Or are we just going into next season with a mountain of cap space again and a team that isn’t really any better. You’d think the draft is where the trade would have transpired.

Instead he’s making dumb trades to move down to gEt MoAr PiCkS.

He drafted Caufield, big deal, he fell into our lap. What the **** are we doing now?

He can't tell us, because the other GM's might be listening, to his plan...

Eight seasons, and counting....but in all fairness, we have a week or so going into free agency, so...............

 

[Lshap]

Dude I have heard this exact thing for at least 5 years now. Starting to sound like a broken record. Next thing you'll say is that he can fix holes at training camp cauae teams will be scrambling (never happens) and then it'll be early in the season (never happens) and then the trade deadline and then it'll get pushed back to the 2020 draft.

It a literally the same story every freaking year.

I never said anything about fixing holes, so I don't know what you're disagreeing with. I'm stating a simple fact: Bergevin does have the summer to make moves. It was a response to a post saying he needs to get trades done today -- obviously he has the next three months to do... something. How is any of this a revelation?

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I mean I don’t expect him to come out and tell us every step

I’m just expecting the expected: he sits on his hands all summer and walks into the new season with a mountain of cap space once again.

 

[Lshap]

don't forget to scratch Tampa, Nashville, Toronto off the list.

Yeah, it's never dull.

True, but at this point I won't be upset if we overpay for Gardiner, I'll be surprised he actually did something that might help us and address a need.

No. Just no. Gardnier is gonna get 7x7 and he’s f***ing horse shit

 

[Zorba]

Is Alzner really not gonna be bought out?? Just rid yourself of him

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

It would be a mistake to pay the 8-9 millions required to sign Duchene.

He will get at least 10M.

 

[smirob]

I would probably overpay a little for Anders Lee. I like what he brings to the table.

Lee-Domi-Gallagher
Drouin-Danault-Tatar

I’d be ok with that. I’d also be ok with Dzingel.

I like Nyquist too, but he’s similar to a lot of players we already have.

 

[ECWHSWI]

Yeah, it's never dull.

assuming you already scratched Winnipeg (Trouba), Washington (Niskanen) San Jose (Braun), Pittsburgh (Matata)


(and I typed this really fast making sure I don't have to edit my post!)

As of today, we have only 2 Left D under contract for next year : Mete and Kulak
So something has to happen cause he just don't have anything else to start the season.

Probably signs some mediocre UFA at a whopping 7 yr x 8 mil cap hit, aka Gardiner. Can't say he won't do squat.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Dzingel and Nyquist are good player and won't cost that much

Lee will be expensive

 

[Zorba]

Dzingel and Nyquist are good player and won't cost that much

Lee will be expensive

We need Lee more than those other two
Perfect winger for max

you stated the obvious... and in response so did Lshap...

Yes, MB has more time to make moves (unless time stops, this is always true of every GM).
Yes, several posters have annually ignored his lack of effective roster management by pointing out that he can address the issues he's failed to address at the next junction.

Both points are valid, neither particularly revelatory.

 

[Miller Time]

Dzingel and Nyquist are good player and won't cost that much

Lee will be expensive

What makes you think they won't cost much?

As I see it, both are first time UFA's, the contracts handed out thus far to pending UFA's have been at the high end, or exceeded expectations, they are two of the top 5-7 remaining forward UFA options on the market, and several teams remain with need/cap space to make them significant offers...

I'd take either at less than a UFA premium (i.e not having to outbid all other suitors), and neither at the full UFA premium they will likely fetch.

"We're confident Karl will bounce back and have an excellent season for us, giving us the best defensive group we've had in years"...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why is there no media of MB and Timmins talking about the picks?

 

[mariolemieux66]

Still no f***ing plan or direction.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

If Armia and Lehks sign for a combined 5M and we sign a G to 1.5M a year, burying Weise, Alzner, and Peca, it leaves us around 8.6M to round up the lineup.

What do you want him to do. That way it is out in the open in case he does do it you don’t go back on your word just to degrade him.

I can see a Corey Perry prove it deal. He has mitts, size and sniper. Could help pp plus add vet to the group. I would take a flyer.

I’d like improvement on the point. Left side though. Subban was had on the cheap but I think it is becoming clear that he is a lockeroom cancer. There were murmurs of it here, then to be bounced out of Nashville for so little? I love the player don’t get me wrong. I was devastated when he was traded.

But habs need a dman for the left side. And perry could come in and help the transition to Suzuki

They are still trying to figure out who the players we drafted are...
