GDT: Marc Bergevin & coy Press Conference - 3pm RDS Info, RDS.ca

[LaP]

MB is the Therrien of GMS.



Glad the league has gotten interesting the last few years. With the young stars. Emergence of Oilers and Flames rivalry coming back. Sid and Pens repeating. Connor. .............. because todays Habs bore the hell out of this life long fan.

Hoping for a Pens three-peat

Radu signing with Pens would be awesome.

 

[Runner77]

Are we really expecting some big news to be broken by Bergevin at 3pm today? When does this ever happen?

Carey Price news will be used as a shield for the other stuff that didn't happen (Radulov, Markov) and for the country club he created in Laval.

 

[LaP]

Prices contract only starts in 2018-2019

I know. It means you have 2 millions to replace Plekanec next year if you tie yourself to the cap long term. We don't have any ELC contract at center incoming.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Don't forget Franco wonder kid Jonathan Drouin!

Everything is ok! We got Carey! We got Drouin! We will trade Galchenyuk!

Everything is fine!

10.5 millions before carey?

 

[Deebs]

[deandebean]

So here's goes 4 millions of our cap space.

When? With whom?

 

[Garry Valk]

Anyone?

Tsn 690 is carrying it.

 

[DesmondDekker]

When? With whom?

10.5 - 4 = Carey Price's current cap hit.

 

[LaP]

So basically we know Radu and Markov wont be back if he makes a PC without them being signed?

 

[Kents polished head]

The signing is not bad. But the timing is disgusting. He's still going to get away with doing **** all about Radulov and Markov because the media in this city is stupid as hell and will spend 2/3 of the press conference asking futile, ridiculous questions about Price.

Price was going to sign to this amount for maximum terms. It's not a surprise. It's absolutely not shocking. Could have been done ANYTIME. But now you're sitting on 10M to sign a forward and a D and you haven't done anything, because YOU have NOT been preparing yourself at all to the eventually both could look elsewhere. That just looks ridiculously amateur.

I knew he was going to pull it off. Signing Galchenyuk or Price as a huge fireworks to distract the useless media we have in this city. And people will just buy into it.

"The door is open. We're going to wait for their decision, the offers are still there. We're only July 2nd and we're starting to play only in October"

Bet you anything he'll say this. Nevermind the fact 95% of teams in the league are done wheeling and dealing.

 

[LaP]

10.5 - 4 = Carey Price's current cap hit.

This will be covered by Plekanec's contract ending but it also means we will need to replace Plekanec and find another center with 4 millions less to spend next year (cause it looks more and more like we wont find that center this year).

That contract would not be a problem if we had kids incoming on ELC but we don't. I'm sorry for Pierre McGuire haters but the guy is right. MB is in big trouble right now and i really don't see how he'll get out of it with a job.

 

[void]

I hate Martin McGuire and his softball questions so much

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Hehe, he thinks the D is improved.

 

[void]

Bergevin is very happy with his defense. RIP Markov.

 

[LaP]

I love when the best thing you can say about a player (Alzner) is you know what to expect from him.

I have a secret for you MB i know what to expect from Martinsen too.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Les Toews, les Benns les Semins,les dd’s, les weises les failure

 

[donghabs98]

Next GM is destined to be fired after 3-5 years of trying to save what Houle 2.0 did.

Houle 2.0 eh? We're in a lot better shape then when he was in charge.

 

[void]

Not looking good for Radulov and Markov..

He said there's no way they're both coming back with what they're asking.

 

[LaP]

Hehe, he thinks the D is improved.

This guy is crazy. I used to defend him and thought he was talking *** in PC but i changed my mind. This guy is telling the truth in is PC. He really thinks what he says. He just doesn't have any clue.

BTW guys wake up Radu and Markov are definitely gone. It's over.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Carriere lied to us on 91,9. He said we would be happy after July 1st. I'm not. This is a huge failure.

 

[zx81]

Both Radu and Markov are gone. Pretty obvious now.

 

[GREMLIN]

"The door is open. We're going to wait for their decision, the offers are still there. We're only July 2nd and we're starting to play only in October"

Bet you anything he'll say this. Nevermind the fact 95% of teams in the league are done wheeling and dealing.

Well duh, what else is he supposed to say?

30 other GM's haven't signed 'em yet, it's insane to be mad at MB about this.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Hehe, he thinks the D is improved.

You know what they say about the turtle winning the race.
