No, its not safe to say. Bergevin has actually done fairly well on most of his trades. The teams drafting and development has really sucked, which is why we are where we are.
Trading a 2nd and a 5th for Jeff Petry
Trading Pacioretty for Tatar, Suzuki, and a 2nd
Trading Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann for Phil Danault and a pick
Trading Alex Galchenyuk for Max Domi
These are all home run trades for Montreal. Creating a third round pick out of thin air is nice but the likelihood it turns into anything useful is pretty darn close to zero.
These are good trades but it's hard when you put it in context of teams around you and see your trade bumped the needle over 2 units then other teams make big adds that jump the needle up 10 units. Can't win improving by mm when others improve by meters.
