You have to admit, than in terms of blowing smoke up fans behinds, the alzner-chara comparison was really beyond the pale. How he could say that and not laugh means he's either a good actor or a sociopath.
Speculation: So after Galchenyuk, who is the next skilled scapegoat?

I remember listening to that and thinking, what in the even f*** did he just say? I thought for a second and then said, what else can we expect from him, it's not only his words that do not make sense, it's the moves that he makes as a gm as well.

Almost as good as when he compared the Habs to Real Madrid not making the world cup

As others have listed, Price and Domi are prime candidates to be the scapegoat by the fans and the media.
Price is coming off a poor season, going into an 8 year contract. I think he gets some grace this year though due to his past success.
Domi, especially if Galchenyuk breaks out in Arizona.
Scherbak by the Habs management.

Domi will certainly get the most criticism per inch.
Wait this is the habs we are talking about.

Domi is going to get annihilated when Galchenyuk puts up 65 points this season and Domi scores 12 goals and 45 points.
I will say this, as assinine as it is that Drouin could somehow magically play center, if they bring the kid up to play in montreal it will be an even worse decision.
And that's saying a whole lot becuase in the panopoly of bad decisions, drouin at center tops the charts.

He was already a scapegoat but got a soft pass because he was out of position.

Good point and he likely won't be able to pitch in for 40 even with weber out till december(if he is back that soon)
Scherbak is my guess though. He will be on the 3rd or 4th line where he doesn't belong then thrown in with pleks at the TDL for a bad contract a prospect and another 2nd.

I interpreted the question as who which talented player will be traded away for either a no-talent player or a clearly less talented player.
Scherbak is the first one that comes to mind. The potential is there. But I doubt Julien and Bergevin put him in a position to succeed and he'll be traded. I'm looking forward to seeing Carr and Galchenyuk in their new homes, and continuing to watch Subban, Radulov, and Sergachev.
You don't know your history very much. French Quebecers turn on themselves at the drop of a hat. They are such harder on other French Quebecers.

lmao as of right now that post has 12 likes. I'd say it's safe to say he's not the only one that "believes" this.

Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Sherback traded for scraps much like Andrighetto, that hardly makes him a scapegoat. To be a scapegoat it means you were expected to play an important role but failed.
So the only options are really: Price, Weber, Petry, Pacioretty, Drouin, Gallagher, Domi, maybe Danault.
Implicit to the OPs question is that he's asking who management (And their supporters) will use as a scapegoat. So with that in mind Weber, Drouin, Domi, and Danault won't be used because criticizing them criticize management. So that really leaves Price, Petry, Gallagher, and Pacioretty. Petry is probably somewhat protected due to Weber's injury as you don't generally scapegoat injury replacements (And it would bring into question going trading the younger player for the older player).
Pacioretty, it's a given he'll be given terrible treatment until he's traded.
Price, is the easiest target
Gallagher might get some flack if he spends a lot of time on Drouin's wing and the line isn't productive, but probably not enough to become the scapegoat.

Of course he is as he’s better than anyone one the team because he’s French Canadian lolPlease don't talk about Drouin like he gets a free pass, he's going to prove you all wrong, he is going to be a star here.
after Galchenyuk, who is the next skilled scapegoat?
Scapegoat of the medias or of the fans ?
i would answer ;
The next player with addiction problems or/and off-ice issues
Carboneau ( the finger )
Ribeiro
Higgins
Kostitsyn
Galchenyuk
etc ...
