Molson Urges Patience

[Habs Halifax]

Molson is taking a page out of my book... Patience

 

[Justin11]

I'm trying to apply for a job where Geoff Molson will be my direct boss.

Won't have to do much (because my job will be hard) and it's a guaranteed employment for life!

 

[Frank the Skank]

You just joined in 2019, rarely see a post from you and then you have the nerve to call a long time habs fan and respected poster on this board a non fan! PR rep for Bergie maybe?

A long time Habs fan who would jump ship is not a fan.. doesn't matter when I joined

 

[Frank the Skank]

Except they were hands down the best team in 2019 starting in Jan. One of the reasons I laugh at MB and his points in Oct/Nov anything can happen mantra. No it really can't when you come up a team like the Blues who are on such a roll going into the show.

And they did it without Elite players.. which again.. was the point

Who's in between Molson and Bergevin? Who reports to Molson other than Bergevin? Not sure.

As far as holding onto Bergevin... term of contract matters no matter what people say how much money the Habs make. If our team stalls and stays in the middle 10 range in the NHL for this year and next, It will be very interesting to see if Molson has the guts to fire Bergevin and hire a real President.

2 years left in term with Bergevin.... The timing is in line with our youth movement and do we go up, down, or stall? This will be key and that 21/22 season could be a sale on vets.

so if I get this straight...

2014 (or 15, dont remember exactly) was transition year
then in 2018 was the reset

and now, in 2019, we have to wait up to 8 years...


not enough, think we can all wait 10/12 years...

Ya, that's the position i'm trying to apply Hearing that Geoff Molson is a great employer.

well the smart thing would be to talk to Price and let him what the plan is and that if he wants out they will do their best to trade him at some point down the road. You need him to say the right things so it doesn't tarnish his trade value if it looks like he's demanding a trade. Not saying he would or wouldn't want out, but if you look to trade Price in the summer after you pay him his 8.75M bonus, he will be owed something like 44M over 6 years which is just over 7M a year. We could retain say 10% if it meant we got something really good back.

I'd look at the Avs to see if we could pry Byram. I know it's a total pipedream but if the Avs struggle with goaltending, the have the cap space and several top young D prospects so they might be desperate to win hopefully. Granted you would hate to have a Roy part II happen but if Price wants out then not much they can do as I doubt they could turn us into a contender in a year.

Lol, I was gonna say... that has Patrick Roy written all over it again (not as much drama but the same outcome)

Poile had 16 years, we should be fine for another 8

You forgot the PR part. Easy to be a fan of this shit show if you are getting paid to do so, I might be wrong and you just might be the loyal dog type that "bergy" was referring to.

dont be a wuss AP, make it a decade at least!

 

[Frank the Skank]

Well... obviously if his feelings are such that he's going to jump.. then he's not a fan.. if he was a fan then he wouldn't change teams... seems logical doesn't it?

Just like it was character, then it was attitude.....

So much spin doctoring, it's ridiculous.

Too funny... do you think that anyone who works for any professional sports team really cares what a bunch of keyboard warriors say?

Bah technically, it's going to be 8 years next summer. So 8 past years + 8 more is close enough to Poile. Hey. I can wait 27 more years for another Cup. We will be so close to Leafs history

think the question is pretty easy to understand.

a thin layer of purple fabric...

If you're looking for logic, you're in the wrong place buddy.

I bet Price and Weber are happy about these news

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Yes, particularly when you switch to a rival. If you jump ship like that, turn your back on your team... you were never a fan to begin with. Shows you are not loyal. Just like Ballard leaving the Leafs, anything can happen and fates can and will turn around..

Actually, you see all this in a very limited fashion. What you don't realize is that people will switch because the team turned on them.

Yes... the team has a personal vendetta against an anonymous dude behind a screen.. how foolish of me

Jeeze, you should share a nobel prize with Geoffy for inventing patience.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Very very limited vision.

Seems you need to be taken by the hand to understand any of this:

When ownership puts profit as a higher priority, it turns its back on its fans

When management sends away fan favorite players, it turns its back on its fans.


When ownership leaves incompetemt management in place, despite obvious shortcomings, it turns its back on its fans

And so on, so on.
