His comments of development show exactly why MTL has 4 drafted players on the roster under his regime.

Well he answered in a way :
Concernant Christian Dvorak : « C'est un centre responsable dans les deux sens de la patinoire. Il ne sera pas le joueur qui va te faire dire : Wow. Mais il fait les détails, il joue une game honnête. Nous avons différents joueurs à l'aile que ceux qu'avaient les Coyotes. »

The way Bergevin is talking about KK makes you think that they really did not value him highly and pretty much were giving up on him.
Surprised he didn't just say "London Knight, next question"

I don’t see how people can watch this presser and be upset with him

Arpon asked MB if having KK in the NHL at 18 could serve as a lesson for future prospects, bringing up examples of Suzuki going back to Junior for a year and Caufield who went back to college. MB said yes, it is something they can learn moving forward. He said he's not perfect and they may not always make the right decision, but that they always do it with the best intentions.
Which is also what we saw (& he surely felt, making signing the offer sheet a no-brainer) in their handling of him, so no surprise their.

MB says roster should stay the same until camp start, but doesn't close the door to possible trade.
To be fair, he would have surpassed that the last two seasons if they were not cut short by Covid.

Not how I comprehended that. Bergevin basically said that he is not a flop but we wanted another 2 years to find out where he lands. But not at $6.1M. So no, we were not valuing him like Suzuki at this stage but nobody is.
10 years of watching the same mediocrity of management might have a bit to do with it

Demidov is a HAB
Because what he's saying is fundamentally wrong.

I'm glad someone asked that question and I like his answer. I feel they will avoid it now... player needs to look better than "Don't look out of place". Have less holes and a stronger pool with good patience helps that process.

Over the last two seasons Dvorak has scored at a 45 point pace. He played 70 games in 19-20 and 56 in 20-21.
I think he can easily do 50 points with top mins and wingers in Montreal as even Desharnais and Danault could do it when placed in a position to succeed. Dvorak is a better offensive player than both of those two

not happy about losing Koko obviously but the upgrade to Dvorak really fills a hole for us at 1C
Savard replaces Weber. Hoffman is WAY better than Perry,, were in good position

Almost had a little smile, but kept a straight face. I still think they're hoping he comes back down the line. We'll see.

I would’ve liked someone to ask him if the plan is to have Evans as 3rd C or they’re planning to actually play Drouin at center

The moves and strategy we had last year and results does not show mediocrity so you are reaching on that. I'm assuming you support letting Danault go? I think the mediocrity narrative is getting weak in recent years.
Just admit it... you don't like the guy and don't care about what we do until he is gone. I can respect that more than reaching on things

When he talked about his centre line he mentionned Suzuki, Dvorak, Evans, Paquette and made sure to mention Poelhing who he says really improved. Never mentioned Drouin.

Interesting that he also alluded to other problems with KK that they noticed over the last few years and that going back to Finland for an extra year would probably not have changed much

MB also said the return of the OS is better than what Carolina was offering in a trade scenario. I don't know if it's true, but Friedman did say that the return in a trade was somewhat similar to what they got as a compensation.
