His "mentor" have won two Stanley Cups. Don't try to link everything together. Doesn't make sense.
Dale Tallon built the team. Bowman came and the core was already there.

Guys just want the best hockey people end of discussion.....but the past 10-12 years we have not gone that route, we have gone with the best franco guy available, and..............here we are.
Rinse and Repeat...

without actually going back......not sure....but one thing is for sure, we did NOT need a guy who had NEVER been a GM at any level....so we ended up with the guy who needed training wheels for 9-10 years.....how can anyone be impressed.but who exactly was the best guy available in 2012, Pierre McGuire ? Bergevin was already being groomed in one of the top market in the NHL, not exactly far fetched that he was one of the best hockey people available at the time.

Really funny how things turn. Bunch of fans kept saying how awesome our prospect pool is....best in the league I heard!..The team is ruined for years, too many big contracts and the pipeline is nothing special.
Just bring in Roy. If he bombs, he bombs. We are already the worst team I have ever seen.

KK out, Romanov barely holding his own as a bottom D, Caufield in AHL, not even sure Poehling will ever be a regular NHLer given his injuries, who's left? Suzuki? Heck, even he is playing out of his depth.
Some fans never learn. Always overrate the prospects.
That said, our development team also sucks donkey balls.

Come on. The guy has set up a farm team in Laval and a brand new ECHL team. It's not about the money. They just don't know how to do it.Molson doesn't seem to be eager to flex his money muscles. One of the richest team in the league and they don't even have an in-house skating coach for their prospects? Ridiculous.
Yep it's worked great for the last 28 yearsGMs are mostly all the same.
I much prefer having one that speaks french. (#FireBergevin)

There would have been many guys avaialble, but again, they wanted no part of any anglos.....only franco, so that's what we got..................Pierre Mcguire by the way, is like a cartoon character....again zero experience.

Am not going to get in the language debate again.Just to say when you are picking a GM that has to speak a certain language instead of choosing the best candidate available you are behind the 8 ball right off the get go.I don't care what sport it is or business for that matter.View attachment 475961
Also, here's the list of teams that are currently in a drought of post-seasons series win. 100% of them had no language restriction for their hires.
Most GMs are dimes a dozen.

Jim Nill refused to be interviewed. FYI. He's as French as Christiano Ronaldo is Chinese.without actually going back......not sure....but one thing is for sure, we did NOT need a guy who had NEVER been a GM at any level....so we ended up with the guy who needed training wheels for 9-10 years.....how can anyone be impressed.
