Marc Bergevin: Real Madrid ne font pas les séries ou va pas au Mondial Edition

[BLONG7]

Would MB look at any of the potential buyouts that could happen? Talk of Spezza, Perry, in the West...

Beast is the perfect word for his playoff performance. Watch games . Watch the defensive zone draws. Watch the zone entries. Watch the offensive zone puck possesion. That's just eye test . Advance stats just make his playoff performances more impressive. Yeah he's a third liner but he's a beast in the playoffs. Also not 2 shabby for a 3rd liner to have 18 in 24 a Stanley cup game winner and being on the ice in the last 30 seconds of the game for a draw in washingtons zone.

Don't forget Eller scored in double overtime against Columbus in game 3 to save their ass.

Again f*** you Bergevin.

You want the meme’s over success? I’d rather not be a laughing stock.

Spezza is declining big time and Perry is just another winger that we don't need.

Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet690, recounting the words of a GM speaking anonymously about Galchenyuk:

“Other teams have told me he’s a guy that they’ve thought he’s been traded like 10 times and Montreal always pulls it back. That says to me that they see it as, ‘You know what? Whatever issues we may have, this is a guy who has got value. And it would be really nice if it worked out better for us, as opposed to better for somewhere else. I think if he gets traded, it’s because Montreal feels they get a haul that really helps them. But I get the sense that he’s a guy that they would rather see it work out there.”

FWIW

Oh please, if Bergevin would rather it "work out here" he would put him back at center.

Every other team would have him at center. He's a center, and a very talented one, it's very obvious.

Punch Bergevin out with your slugging Chuck.

So, after it's all said and done, doing the accounting for the Eller-Shaw fiasco we have:

in: Andrew Shaw
2017 #58
2018 #62

out: Lars Eller
2016 #39
2016 #45

Lars Eller > Andrew Shaw
Earlier picks that could have been developing for 2 years > Later picks that we had to wait to make

Which is exactly what I said at the time. What a stupid f***ing move.

But we got Shawzy and his 2 Cups

Lars still has a ways to go to catch up

Galchenyuk seems to have been an afterthought for most of his development here.
There has been zero planning as to where to play him, who to target on free agency to compliment him well, and who we want to mentor him.
He seems to have been used as a filler more than anything.

The fact we tried to move him 10 times doesn't really show that we rather keep him either. I mean, wouldn't Bergevin have decided after 3-4 times of attempting to move him that we should go all in with him, and therefore plan accordingly?
Just last year we used him on the bottom lines at the wing....Again, not sure how this shows how we rather it works out here.

 

[BLONG7]

True, but there could be a buyout out there, that we could take a chance on...teams with cap trouble could let someone go, who could be worth taking a flyer on, for 1-2M per season...? Sad, that we have come down to this...let's hope for some better moves around the draft, but don't hold your breath.

Just might reaffirm how brutal our group is, at evaluating talent...and we wont even go towards Therrien, who would struggle to develop a hard on with Heidi Klum in the room.

Have you been stuck in Jumanji?

FWIW

Bergevin is afraid that Therrien will look bad if Galchenyuk becomes a successful centre elsewhere .

Two f***ing clowns.

Bergevin dislikes Russians.

Obviously, Russians never perform in the playoffs

Exactly. Look at Ovechkin.

Bergevin knows screwing up a Galchenyuk trade is the straw that breaks the camels back. I’m not surprised he’s getting cold feet pulling the trigger.

Make sure you have that punch throwing gif handy for the draft. I'm cringing at the thought of how many times you may be forced to use it.
