You know what some people here are getting REALLY skilled at? *****ing and whining about anything. It's sad, really. This interview is as fine as it gets.

Not much, but he was more challenged to answer questions. Just go on Rds.ca and watch the video.

Well, if they moved Galchenyuk to center without trading a center, Eller would be the 4th best C on the team.

But you're *****ing and whining about *****ing and whining.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Ummm noooo...
MM is better than Eller
Seriously if Chucky takes on the 1C how does that make DD a better option than Eller?
DD will have just lost his only role on the team.
You would take your top PO forward and bury him on a 4th line
No one is complaining about the interview, were just facetiously admiring Bergy's skills in not revealing his hand in 'exclusive' extended one on one's.
Mind you if your asked vanilla questions your going to get vanilla answers. The only part where Bob pushed back was on the 3 goalies and waiver deal other then that he responded to Bergy's answers with 'Absolutely' and 'Awesome'.

Full speed ahead is what I got from the interview, Marc Bergevin is no "Negative Nellie" that's for damn sure! Looking forward to a great season, once again, the new and improved(Balanced) Habs are coming. It's all in the interview, the Habs are going to be more of a puck possession team, it was obvious when Gorges was moved and Gilbert & Weaver signed. Beaulieu, Pateryn & Nygren all play puck possession, but can they also play defence is the question?

I think it more so that Bob treated the interview in a more professional matter with a little humour reserved for the end. The group at l'Antichambre treated it like he was a friend and they were at a bar talking. Not saying that MB felt disrepected but he did not seem to find that clip funny.

I agree.
Said they sent Dudley watch Sekac play...he called back after 1 period.(!). Get it done.
Had a sit down with Bourque. Told him he would not make a trade and to get going.
Same with Eller, made sure he knew he's a power player with talent and not the other way around.

Yes I understand that we all look highly on Pateryn as a prospect because that's what Habs fans do with our prospects but you are all missing my point.
What motivation does Bergivin have to keep mentioning him when he wasn't even asked about him? Unless it's already established that Patteryn is going to make the team right off the bat and he's just stating the obvious, mentioning him doesn't really serve a purpose and Bergevin's too smart to just mention him without a real purpose.
Pateryn has value to us and he may have more value to another team. If someone is willing to overpay for anyone, let alone a prospect Bergevin has to seriously consider it. What if Pateryn can be packaged to get us a legit 1st line right winger ahead of Gallagher? I am speculating that Bergevin is looking to create interest in Pateryn to improve somewhere else.

He said that inserting Galchenyuk into centre created depth and that "the fourth line centre could be Eller if Galchenyuk is inserted into the third line ahead of him".
"could be Eller"
"if Galchenyuk is inserted into the third line"
That's not calling Eller the fourth line centre it's calling the four best centres DD, Plekanec, Galchenyuk, Eller and declaring it a good position to be in.
I did catch that but still found it laughable.
Eller is a far better "C" than DD when the going gets tough.
The whole Galchenyuk at C issue isn't for no reason.
I think management has targeted the middle as an area for upgrade.
I know many fans have.
I don't agree with Reid that we are in an enviable position.
It just says we have too many warm bodies around.
One of Eller Plecks or DD have to go and Eller is not my choice.

I don't see how Bergevin's comment could enhance Pateryn's trade value. What it might achieve is to please Pateryn if he hears about it.

That is my point. I don't think Bergevin would want to compliment Pateryn as it might get to his head unless there was some other purpose. Managing a player's psyche is Therrien's job, not Bergevin's. Judging by Bergevin's treatment of other players, he doesn't compliment anybody for the heck of it. His mantra for prospects is 'they will make the decision for us' meaning he let's their game do their talking.
Of course it could increase Pateryn's trade value if Bergevin mentions him. Team's that are looking for a young and cheap defensive prospect may give Pateryn a second look when they may otherwise might not have. I'm speculating that's what Bergevin is hoping for.
