Known fact............Houle was the front man or a puppet for a one Mr Ronald Corey, this is who you are really talking about.
So, to recap, Houle was a puppet who was told to reduce payroll to less than 30 M, and Bergevin a clown, with the ability to spend to a cap upwards 70-80M.

It's a very close race............one was dealt a bad hand, and it wasn't Bergevin.

Doesn't matter. The resumes aren't even close. You can get a crappy mandate and still not come out with the losses that Houle did. There's nothing that Houle didn't do worse. Less results, worse returns, gave up better pieces and picks, whatever, you name it. Houle was way worse.

I don't think anyone expected that. Some might have expected him to recognize his mistakes a bit more.

There's a spectrum between patting himself on the back for a job well done and blasting himself.

I don't personally think he was over the line, it was a pretty muted interview. At a few points in the interview he talked about things he would take back. Sounds like he recognizes his mistakes but its kind of unrealistic to expect him to beat himself up in an interview about it.

People just don't like him and that's fine, but lets not act like he was extoiling his virtues either.

As destructive as houle's regime was, I gotta give credit for that 1998 draft.

Ribeiro
Beauchemin
Markov
Ryder

Quite the haul.

Bergevin was the worst gm in Habs history. One was trying to win while the other wasn’t.
