[MJF]

He is such a joke now. I should become to new journalist for the team.

This has become a double stack nothingburger.

bro are you staple??????????? why on earth do you care so much?????????

Bergevin...

is probably the LAST choice I would make

how can you trust a GM who drafted Mallouix?

let alone his dreadful drafting, trades...

I always assumed he was just GM in Montreal because he was francophone to be honest

Dude, why so much hatred on Mailloux? You mentioned him multiple times when talking about Bergevin. He’s a decent player picked at 31st. Did he date your sister or daughter or something lol

Are you shitting me? The clown takes on a beat writer offering up some things he heard and everyone is losing their minds.

I had no idea there were this many journalism majors among us.

I liked that post by Staple. He included some humor and seemed to be conceding he's just passing along what he's hearing, but who knows? I appreciate the info, and will take it with a big old grain of salt.

Seravalli reports that Bergevin and Darche are favorites for the GM position, but they're very different candidates. Bergevin could be GM/POHO, or just GM (with no POHO above him), whereas Darche you'd think would be hired with a POHO above him. Maybe Bergevin as POHO and Darche as GM makes sense?

Hey Periferal, if faced with a choice between handing Bergevin the keys as POHO/GM or having Darche as GM with Lou as POHO, which would you choose? No cheating - it's got to be one of those. Firing squad or gas chamber? [Don't worry, I think Lou is safely bye-bye, just having some fun with you]

The demands of the job are different now. He used to be a meat-and-potatoes reporter, just tell people what happened and get some quotes, but fans want rumors, they want insight into the inner workings, even if Lou has made it extremely difficult to get that. They're going to Rosner for it, or Bob, or that kid who puts the eyeball emojis next to everything he tweets. That's the competition, so Staple has to go with the flow and he might end up falling into the same traps as a result.

Hmm, I don't want that. I'm a "just the facts, ma'am " guy.

I’ve been here for awhile and can’t recall this board ever liking any of the beat writers assigned to the team. Staple at least has the sense of humor to deal with this stuff.

Hmm, I don't want that. I'm a "just the facts, ma'am " guy.

Doesn’t pay the bills, unfortunately.

Do I have to explain?? Seriously?

And thankfully no xD

I forget exactly what be I think he harassed somebody on social media in a not so nice manner. They basically thought he would drop to like round 5-6 because of it but Montreal came in and basically said we don't care.

He leaked naked pictures of a girl he slept with without her consent.

Dude is absolute trash. Montreal had to apologize for the selection like, days afterward.

No, he straight up asked not to be drafted and Montreal drafted him anyways

Oh that's right, yeah that was pretty bad.

He may end up being a good player... but it was a total PR disaster and a complete unforced error by Montreal. They got raked over the coals for that one.

one of the worst posts I've ever seen on this board lmaooo

Worst part of it was it wasn't even a case you got some guy rated 10 as a late first. They picked a guy rated late first using a late first. It might be easier to defend yourself if you use like a 3rd rounder on him saying at this point it was to good not to.

My apologies, I didn’t know what he did and now it makes sense. I agree with you

fair enough if you want to say that but I just admitted I had no clue about him. I wouldn’t have drafted him either.

 

[periferal]

You don't want guys because they're coming from Toronto.

Florida hired Bill Zito from Columbus.

Spin your way out of that one.

I'd say you're totally joking because you put the emoji there....Alas you also decided to post it and most would say what makes something funny is that it's at least partially true (so not sure it's a 100% joke....But hope it is).

 

[periferal]

I can't speak for others but the idea behind Shanahan is that it would help us sign Marner. Beyond that yeah I rather look elsewhere. lol

Well if that were actually true, then that's a reason not to hire him.

 

[periferal]

Ugh

periferal will surely be thrilled.

Well are you "thrilled?"

 

[Konk]

Well are you "thrilled?"

I'll reserve judgement for now.

 

[The Last Red]

He made a very poor decision as a 17 year old and paid the price. Lots of people make poor decisions at that age. He deserved another chance and he’s getting it.

I was prepared for the Isles to leave NY - That's how desperate I was for wang to sell to anyone else.

With that context in hand, I'll let you "carry the one" on your question.
