Post-Game Talk: Marc Bergevin Press Conference - 3:45pm - Penny wise, pound foolish

[PaulD]

I’m three years older. I forget things, but have been unsuccessful in trying to forget I was happy when Bergevin got the job.

I was optimistic.

Then he hired Therrien I was concerned that he might be a f***en idiot.

Concern justified not much later.

it can’t be “us or Bergy”. It’s simply “we’re out”.

If Bergy stays, they want out.
If Bergy goes, new GM will trade them.

“Us or Bergy” puts them out either way.

I know I want a rebuild but I'm not so sure that Weber or Price would be as keen as most of HF. If MB had traded Tatar + Petry @ TDL for late 1st + B-level prospect, it would have come at the expense of the team's competitiveness in the next 2-3 years and given their age (Price/Weber), I'm not sure they would be as thrilled as most of us if they expect the team to suck in their twilight years.

If you want a rebuild because it is the right thing to do for the franchise,

You simply cannot ignore doing the right thing because a couple of old vets wont be too pleased. Price and Webers displeasure will be mere details and a back drop story for the talking heads. Thats it.

PaulD, I agree... my post was a response to the Ozmodiar post.
