GDT: Locker cleanup and Final Season interviews: Bergvein Press Conference at 4:00pm EST

[Markov4Captain]

Examples of teams winning without a true n.1 center Marc?

"LA with Jeff Carter and Kopitar... Jonathan Toews"

Watch his facial expression as they ask the question...you can see the colossal 'WTF DO I SAY?' worry appear on his face lmao

 

[Adamcrazy3]

This clown is a dumb ass.. please fire him Molson

 

[NobleSix]

what I got from the presser:

Galchenyuk isn't going anywhere.

Beaulieu is going to be traded.

Price is going to be re signed this summer.

Bergevin doesn't know what a #1 center is.

Par for the course next season.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Hes basically saying Galchenyuk never will be a C

He did not pass Bergevin's test......and plus he uses Instagram

Danault would NEVER use Instagram

 

[le_sean]

He's an idiot and keeps shifting blame.

Actually Marc, your division rival Senators acquired both of their top 2 centres via trade.

 

[void]

So you can't trade #1 centres, but then mentions Carter as a #1 centre, but LA traded for him did they not?

Fake news.

 

[Tabarouette]

Galchenyuk is well-done right now, what a roasting

 

[Team_Spirit]

Examples of teams winning without a true n.1 center Marc?

"LA with Jeff Carter and Kopitar... Jonathan Toews"

 

[Frank Drebin]

What did he say about radu?

 

[Luigi Habs]

So easy to blame the young guys.

Blamed Subban last season, blaming Beaulieu and Galchenyuk now. He's the worst GM we've had since Peanuts.

 

[waffledave]

Engels: "Marc can you name a team that has won a cup without a number 1 center, like you said has happened before?"

MB: "Well, I mean, LA, you know they had Kopitar and Carter... And Chicago... well, actually, Toews is a number 1 center, yeah.

Ok, thanks everyone! Goodbye!"

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

How does someone get in front of a podium for years, at least 3 years now and openly admit to not doing his job and not get fired?

It's honestly impressive how he lays it all out and no one puts it together and fires it back at him.

-Drafting is hard; we always draft low so it's doubly hard
-Big Cs only come through draft; no one trades their big Cs; you need big Cs to win
-We will try to win without a big C


If he didn't wriggle out of the "is the offense bad? can you blame the offense?" questions he would've completed a complete logical breakdown.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

God dammit, that was so brutal. That #1 center answer was horrible. One of the worst answers to a question I've heard at these things and that's saying a lot considering this is Bergevin we're talking about.

Ownership can't be THIS stupid to keep him around, right?

 

[Markov4Captain]

Beaulieu might as well pack his bags

 

[Andy]

Also, it seems like Price can ask for anything he wants in terms of money because MB clearly needs him. He couldn't even fathom him being gone. Yikes.

 

[The Nightman]

He can never be even the slightest bit at fault. What an arrogant ass!

 

[waffledave]

lol, whats up with Tony and shades?

He has concussion problems apparently.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

would have been great if someone had run some audio of Subban laughing in the background whenever Bergevin started speaking at the presser

 

[Genesis76]

Also, it seems like Price can ask for anything he wants in terms of money because MB clearly needs him. He couldn't even fathom him being gone. Yikes.

Trade tactics

 

[G0bias]

Basically he thinks if Danault puts up 50pts he's a n.1 center we can win the Cup with.

fml

 

[sandysan]

You replace him through free agency. If the aspirations are going all in, you can't focus on the future. You have to take some chances. Not to mention, we don't need a stellar defense with Price. In fact, it'd be better if our offense was stronger and we let Price handle the defensive side.

yeah because FA 1D's are also super easy to get. And not focusing on the future is precisly what led us to getting gomez.

our defense with markov as an #1 gets killed if we had someone lay bricks across our crease.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

his extension hasn't even begun yet

 

[Saint Patrick]

He has concussion problems apparently.

Ouch, ok that wasnt cool on my part then.

 

[Mrb1p]

He's an idiot and keeps shifting blame.

Actually Marc, your division rival Senators acquired both of their top 2 centres via trade.

And two of their top wingers also.

And their number 2 D, and their 3D.

And their 1G.

 

[Laurent]

Sign Price to a monster contract so you are cap squeezed and have an excuse as to why you can't trade/sign any top players for the next 5 years
