re: fire bergevin

I guess Bergevin showed a definite improvement over Gainey's grit and poo poo for a while, and most people assumed that the weird personnel moves he had made were due to the Therrien influence. If the moves keep coming and going, then welp Bergevin. Though I don't think I'd go back to Gainey either let alone mention Boivin.

It would take someone much more versed in Canadian and Quebecois history to suss this out properly, but this is as much a cultural and historical artifact as a bunch of other stuff is in hockey or anything else. It'll probably fade over time; Quebec separating is no longer really a reality in Canada, and eventually time will smooth over the FLQ troubles and inequalities of the past, and eventually people won't care enough to continue with such cultural mores. But I don't think it's absurd to want a bilingual coach. English speakers would almost certainly object to a unilingual french speaking coach.

I'm an English speaker and the coach can speak loving Korean for all I care. I want my team to not suck.

This is the ideal scenario for me. My wildest dream is Julien Brisebois takes over, gives AGM to Timmins if he wants it, and then throws money at hockey excel nerds.

Trevor Timmins can gently caress right off. Here is case in point.

Did the "If the Habs had left things alone and just used the loving draft like not morons what would the roster look like exercise" (Only active players, in the NHL or AHL with game experience)

gee, I wonder where the Habs have difficulty in drafting, what positions do they consistently fail to identify NHL'ers :stare:

Max Pacioretty Alex Galchenyuk Brendan Gallagher
Artturi Lehkonen Mikhail Grabovski Nikita Scherbak
Jacob De La Rose Tomas Plekanec Sven Andrighetto
Nikita Scherbak Ryan White Michael McCarron
Charles Hudon

Ryan McDonagh :sigh:

P.K. Subban :sigh:

Andrei Markov Mark Streit
Ron Hainsey Francois Beauchemin
Nathan Beaulieu Alexei Emelin
Mikhail Sergachev Jarred Tinordi

Carey Price
Jaroslav Halak

let that sink in

the Montreal Canadiens only have 13 active forwards IN THE ENTIRE NHL who were drafted by them.

Pierre Gauthier soured on him, or allegedly always hated his guts. This was during the period where Gainey lost his daughter due to a boating accident so Gauthier, while still AGM, was effectively taking on GM responsibilities. The scuttlebutt is that Gauthier thought McD would amount to nothing due to his limited offensive game, but even back then the reports were that McD was super solid in his own end and slowly adding some dishing qualities on the other side of the rink. Some confluence of events led to Gainey wanting to blow up the Koivu core and restart fresh with new core pieces so you got the McD for Gomez trade and then the Gionta + Camalleri signings in the same summer.

aka the summer that sent the franchise back 5 10 years back

somebody find the choice quotes from the Gomez trade again, always good for a depressing laugh

Of all the players that Bergevin could stupidly leave unprotected are: Carr, Hudon, and De La Rose.

Its fine if carr or de la rose go...carr isnt exactly a young pup anymore (he's already 25 or some poo poo), so hes pretty much maxed out in terms of what we will get (aka more than the bottom 6 but you know, FOXHOLE, CHARACTER, GRIT)

De La Rose is useless.
