Yikes.

Tatar was a lot of teams backup plans for missing Kreider.

 

[Michoulicious]

And ... the deadline just got even more boring.

 

[CB Joe]

Montreal destined to be a middle of the pack team for the foreseeable future.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Bergevin is a f***ing idiot.

 

[devbouz12]

Nice going habs. Selfish ass pricks

 

[Hockey Stick]

My gosh this team needs new ownership

 

[Chiarelli]

So they’re both getting traded for sure then, eh?

 

[CapSpace]

f*** I hate these f***ing ass hats.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

of course not, Bergevin doesn`t have a plan and his the worst current GM
Untouchable players you have when you miss the playoffs 3 consecutive years and 4/5 !!!!

 

[Stickpucker]

Bargain bin probably got scolded for his bad return on Kovalchuk and told he not allowed to make more trades.

A perfect example of trying to raise the value of your assets. Claim they are not available to see if someone becomes desperate enough to bite and overplays their hand.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Petry I can kind of understand. No reason to hang on to Tatar though.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Holy shit MB is so damn stupid this team isn't going to win anything anytime soon and MB has to be the most selfish prick until the very end to try and save his job.

Don't think this is it. Its more that Bergevin knows that even if he is not fired this summer, he is for sure gone next year if he does not make the playoffs. So from his POV it makes limited sense to ship out guys like Tatar and Petry for picks and prospects right now unless he gets an absurd offer which is probably not gonna happen.

 

[BB88]

Forever average

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Petry I get but Tatar? Why? Why not cash in?

 

[sandysan]

My gosh this team needs new ownership

yeah turning gigantic profits year after year must be a huge problem for ownership

 

[V13]

As an Habs fan i gotta say that this is irritating if true. The market is there , the value is there , the timing is perfect and yet that doofus probably still think that this core has a chance to contend next year.

This management (owner included) has no balls and a very sort term vision.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Petry I get but Tatar? Why? Why not cash in?

Cause our GM is a total idiot so sick of this guy he does all he can to keep his job and doesn't care how far hes going to set the habs back in terms of YEARS.

 

[Techcoockie]

If he does nothing his head will role in our media, dumb f***ing GM I hate him.
At least cash-in on Tatar you f***ing baboon

 

[Krnage]

Bergevin feel that is still believe that the habs can make the playoffs

That would make sense if I believed for a second that Moulson isn't heavily involved in getting his fingers into everything. And furthermore, if they indeed plan to can him they should press him heavily to make those moves.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Bergevin feel that is still believe that the habs can make the playoffs

Yikes.

 

[AvatarAang]

This is obviously just a ruse to try and get a better package. He’s waiting for Kreider to get traded before he moves Tatar to the highest bidder.

At least this is what any logical GM would do. I guess we’ll find out soon.
