Begs the question ...
I wonder what orderly regurgitations of nonsensical statements might look like.
Maybe laid out into two symmetrical columns?

They'd probably forego any electronic communication at that point.
They'd go the way of the wise guys and have messages sent via Uber Eats, mixed right into the poutine.

He has been great for the past year, that is a fact. He was also great at the start of his tenure here.
MB **** the bed for a period of time and maybe should have been fired. That is irrelevant now as he seems to have learned and grown. All that matters now is that he seems to know what he is doing right now and you don't give someone a chance to prove their worth after screwing up only to fire them when they turn it around.
The bickering/whining on this board is childish as is demonstrated with the juvenile nick names that people use when referring to him. It sounds just as dumb as when Trump resorts to name calling to denigrate those who are clearly his intellectual superiors.
The truth is that if we had fired MB two years ago, right after the Alzner signing; the same people who are ******* all over Bergevin would be claiming that our new GM (insert mystery GM) is an elite GM if he were to have identically replicated every subsequent move that Bergevin has since completed.
There is no point in bickering over the bad stuff that we agree on but we need to agree on what is good as well and what is good is what is recent.
'Yeah, well you score at about the same rate as Nick Cousins who I just signed for 1M/Y. ' - To Armia and lehk.

A moar size team. Pick one from the Western Conference.
Don't forget to leave an inspirational goodbye card for KK.
Hudon: He's gonna use his 30 points season as an argument to try to get a 1-way around 1 to 1.5 million.
Armia: Gonna compare himself to Tanev to try and get 3-3.5 million.
Lehkonen: He'll use Sheary, Rust and Vesey as comparables and try to get 2.5-3 million.

Don't care about Lehkonen since he needs to be on a show-me contract next year. So one year deal with arbitration numbers is fine regardless of what it is.
Armia we should take care of because he brings a lot of stuff we lack in general and was a pretty solid player. Definitely a keeper at a reasonable cap hit in the 3M$ range on decent term.

You need to stop spamming this thread with your argument (that makes no sense) especially when you're cherrypicking cases but using them improperly.
Stone got traded because they knew they couldn't lock him up long-term, and he was a UFA this summer. Get value before he walks for nothing.
Colin Miller got traded because Vegas is up against the cap, and its easier to trade your #5/#6 defenseman with an acceptable contract for cap relief, than a top fledged player with heavy salary.
Jimmy Vesey got traded because he's a UFA next year, and the role he filled in New York (bottom 6 forward) has a lot of competition as it is (Kaako/Chytil/Andersson/Nieves/Buchnevich) and it gave them salary to pivot around on after adding Panarin (they still have to give contracts to Lemieux and Buchnevich)
Kevin Hayes similarly got traded because he was an upcoming UFA on a team that was rebuilding; you trade assets for value when you know you either don't want them back, or they don't want to be back.
Kulak was a player that Calgary had no room in their system for, with better NHL defenseman and better prospects behind him.
Ceci is the only player that has any value in your argument, and I think he's a player they've wanted to get rid of for a long time...
William Karlsson opted for arbitration, and he signed an extension this summer.
Matt Dumba opted for arbitration, and there's no way Minnesota moves him.
Skjei filed for arbitration, and there's no way NYR moves him.
In many cases, Arbitration is filed for less valuable players, because they want to make a fighting case for a longer term or higher value deal --- this season, Trouba and Binnington both filed for arbitration, and there's no way either of those guys are getting moved from their current teams

You have to agree though, Bergevin never filed for arbitration, and he's still with the team

So this may have already been said but if a team has more than one player file for arbitration then the team is permitted a second buyout window. It is possible that both Lehk and Armia were encouraged to file to allow Montreal another opportunity to buy-out someone like Alzner.

Labbé says that McCarron has yet to sign a contract and is still an RFA. He was eligible for arbitration, but didn't file for it.
Canadiens trade Nicolas Deslauriers to Ducks for draft pick - Sportsnet.ca
Normally, I'd be with you, but Anaheim doing crazy things like validating Bergevin's bargain bin philosophy probably has the guy feeling pretty optimistic.
