Ya, I'm sure Bergeron is just itching to go play for the, checks notes, worst team in the NHL. LOL
Speculation: Bergeron??
- Thread starter HuGort
- Start date
Bergeron is a free agent after this year. The Habs wouldn't have to give up anything to sign him.
Since when did you have to give up stuff for UFA's, is this a new rule I've never heard of?
Not only that, people think Boston would let him go... to their oldest rival?
Bergeron retires a Bruin.

Agreed he is not going to MTL, but if he wanted to leave Boston as a UFA to Montreal Boston can’t do shit to stop him.
Right, but with the years of mutual benefit, one would suspect there is a pretty good relationship between the two sides already. There is no wedge there and it would be surprising if they don't already open up communication with his agent to get something done. They have the ability and time to be proactive.

I love the home town angle .
He was born and grew up 3 hours from Montreal.
It’d be like a Boston kid looking at Rangers or Devils his hometown team.

I love how Habs fans think Bergeron will come as a UFA after next year and they will be a contender in 2-3 years. The worst team in the league with a near non existent prospect pool. I mean dear god guys
No worries . They are getting a teams top 3 prospects and 4 1st for Price at full cap .

Righteous bucks!
Heh everytine Bergeron comes near the end of a contract he is apparently going to sign with the Canadiens. That team is a complete mess.

LOL click bait and nothing more. Bergeron is not going to play in Montreal. Even if they were a good team I see no scenario where he goes to play there.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
0 chance it happens. optics look terrible for his bruins legacy AND he grew up a nordiques fan - in QC city.
letang is more realistic. he's an actual montrealer who has hinted at playing here. but i don't think pens let him walk or that he fits in habs rebuild timeline

I love how Oilers fans believe they don't need to add any players because McDavid is bringing them the cup with a shitty goalie or not.

No rational Habs fan believes Bergeron will leave Boston to play for Montreal. Regardless if we were a contending team or not.

Same answer to when Pens fans say Letang is going to the Habs, unlikely. Just because his agent is now the GM, there are a bunch of other reasons why it doesnt make any sense. Bergeron will sign with the Habs if thats what he wants to do, not because of who their new GM is. Bergeron will have a ton of interested teams, if he reaches FA, why go to a rebuilding one?

The only way Bergeron doesn't retire in Boston is if the Nords come back (and even then it's 50-50 at best, likely much worse). Since that isn't likely to happen, yeah no.
Bergeron is not Montreal's Pajama-Boi. He's got way too much class for that, even if he didn't grow up hating the Habs.

Not that I think Bergeron would sign with the Habs, but that whole distance thing isn’t the same in Canada as it is in the states because we are more spread out. So a 3 hour distance isn’t big and would more often than not be a given as Habs territory if not for the Nords.
