Speculation: Who will replace Marc Bergevin (Mod warning post #269)

[ClasslessGuy]

Paul Fenton

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Not happening .

 

[NobleSix]

Brisebois is the best choice.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

He’ll never get fired. To be rid of him he’d have to quit by himself, and that ain’t happening soon.

Or make him an offer he can't refuse!

I have to ask... is your username a dig at Runner77??

 

[CHfan1]

Paul Fenton

They should at least interview him, Lombardi as well.

 

[CHfan1]

Whoever they hire I hope they get full authority to make any moves they need to, including evaluating and potentially removing Julien.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Brisebois is the best choice.

He could be another bust, but since we limit ourselves to French Canadians, he’s clearly the best choice.

 

[BLONG7]

Once they remove MB, sooner than later we hope................we do not need a GM who speaks french, we just don't...he meets with the media 2-3 times a season, seriously he can do this with the help of a translator....

We have to, just have to, hire the best guy, not the best french guy!!

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Could Brodeur be a possibility for either a GM or president role?

How about he comes out of retirement and plays goalie again since price sucks? Can’t be much worse.

 

[Svart]

Mark Cuban. He knows how to tank.

 

[Ozmodiar]

If Bergevin leaves, he'll be replaced by a lingering stank of cologne and sweaty purple polyester.

I have heard about this a month or so ago, but nothing has come up since then, that i know of.

 

[JianYang]

Good guy, but unfortunately I doubt he can bring Tampa’s low taxes over here, so don’t get too excited about the prospect of signing players to great contracts...

He can't bring the weather either.... But it's not like Tampa is built through free agent signings. Off the top of my head, their entire core is drafted/traded for.

If you consider stralman a core player, he's the one free agent player that comes to mind for me.

 

[SquiddFX]

I think HF Habs should replace him. We can vote on all decisions and trades that need to be made.

I mean together there is no way we could be worse than MB

Pick me, I’ll handpick two members of this forum to join the foxhole with me.

 

[tazsub3]

my mom, lol

good upgrade. Many advantages.

Smaller Ego, accomplished more in her life, better people skill. and most importantly knows hockey better

 

[Runner77]

Mark Cuban. He knows how to tank.

$600,000 poorer later.

 

[groovejuice]

He could be another bust, but since we limit ourselves to French Canadians, he’s clearly the best choice.

BriseBois has a very, very good resume. He'd be a top candidate regardless of language.

 

[Kriss E]

Nobody would leave their hotel rooms until they clean up their mess. And won't get to go play unless they finish everything that's in their plate.

I see what type of mom raised you. Good woman.
I'd add every player would text their mom at night to say they love her.

 

[Yamazaki]

Do you think they will hire someone where speaking French isn’t mandatory?

 

[Habs100]

Well this summer I would have traded a 2nd for Marchessault, reisgned Radulov to a 4 year deal at 8 million AAV, signed Markov for 1 year 6 million AAV (no bonuses as incentives), not signed Alzner, traded Plekanec and Shaw to create cap space, even if it meant giving up some draft picks, and put Galchenyuk at center. Oh and when Weber was injured at the starting of the year, I wouldn't have played him until he had healed, having seen too many athletes try to play through injuries only to have their careers cut short by doing so.

Does that make me a good candidate? Or were these just no brainer moves that everyone would have done, and thus if anyone of us were GM we'd be in a much better situation that what Bergevin's gotten us into?

Pacioretty Marchessault Radulov
Scherbak Galchenyuk Gallagher
Lehkonen Danault Byron
Carr Hudon Deslaurier

Markov Weber
Sergachev Petry
Mete Jerabek/Morrow/Benn

Price
Montoya

 

[axman88]

Pierre McGuire as President and Julien Brisebois as GM

 

[callmek2]

Is there a french version of a Magic 8 Ball?

I'd agree with most of the Brisebois crowd.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Julien Brisebois for sure.

To avoid : Vincent Damphousse , Pierre Mcguire or Patrick Roy

If not someone whos not french.

 

[Meat Wave]

Before even getting to the francophone argument, Julien BriseBois is already the best candidate out there IMO.
