Is Bergevin a Generational GM?

[Svechhammer]

Hope they give him a lifetime irrevocable contract extension after this playoff run

 

[beowulf]

Hell no. He is not even a super star GM.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

2 months ago Hab fans were BEGGING for him to be fired

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Bergevin obviously isn’t a generational GM.but he’s easily the most exciting gm in the league! No shortage of drama and excitement with MB at the helm.

 

[Ainec]

This team he built wouldn’t have made playoffs with the regular format. You’re letting their hot streak cloud your judgement.

2 goalies
4 scoring lines
Great top 4

Would have made it with these guys
Tbl
Nyi
Bos
Fla
Pit

[beowulf]

alzner
semin

letting markov and radulov walk

not firing therrien forever
not firing lefebvre when he ruined our farm system
...

he's not generational, he gambled hard this year and it payed off

Don't forget giving up the left D they need so bad in Sergachev for Drouin

2 months ago Hab fans were BEGGING for him to be fired

2 months ago Leaf fans were planning the cup parade route!

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Two of those guys are still living off Cup glory from 15 years ago

And Joe Thornton / Jason Spezza are living off of... what exactly?

 

[Bob Barker]

I was going to vote yes to feed into the joke but then realized you were serious.

 

[archangel2]

This can not be serious

Most people wanted him fired 2 months ago

Toronto obviously is the better regular season team so they would have been ahead. Then you still have Washington too who would make it over Montreal. The Habs would have missed the playoffs. They are a damn good playoff team though.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Interesting sidebar from the Max Pac trade. The additional 2nd round pick that Vegas gave to the Habs was parlayed into a 3rd round pick and a 4th round pick. Those picks became Mattias Norlinder and Sean Farrell! Both highly touted prospects.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Wow it's been so long I forgot what message boards online were like when Canadian teams were contending for the stanley cup.

They lost more games than they won in a supposedly weak North division. I can put together a team that loses more games than they win. It’s not hard.

Also, why’d you make a poll to gauge people’s opinions just to say that any other opinion that doesn’t align with yours is wrong.

We wouldn’t be having this conversation if they weren’t on a hot streak. And I’d bet you were ready to call it quits when they went on that long slump during the regular season. Generational GMs don’t put together teams like that.

I know you can't really compare divisions that didn't play each other but

1.Carolina-80
2.Florida-79
3.Pittsburgh-77
4.Washington-77
5.Toronto-77
6.Tampa Bay-75
7.Boston-73
8.Islanders-71
9.Rangers-60
10.Montreal-59

If you had to pick a team to miss the playoffs it's clearly Montreal they are significantly behind the 8th place Islanders

They played 20 games in like 30 days

I bet that they were going to contend with toronto for the division before the year. Bad bet but I always believed

 

[Ainec]

Not to mention they get to avoid playing ottawa 6x a year in the old set up

 

[Saxon]

HELL NO

Carey Price is the only reason he has a job

ChrisK97.....the President of the Carey Price fanclub!!!!!

 

[nilan30]

He's a guy who's probably been as active as anyone trade wise and not afraid to make the tinkering trade or the blockbuster. And for the most part his big trades have worked out pretty well

 

[AvroArrow]

I take it Montreal fans don't want his head anymore ?

 

[Brownies]

He's definitely great at finding good support players for nothing. A team that would hire a GM to fill the top forward line and 1st D pair and let Bergevin fill the rest of the team would win a cup haha.

 

[EdJovanovski]

The Filip Chytil of GM's

We want his head.... on a statue in front of the Bell Center next to the Cup.
