Marc Bergevin UFA signing

[AbsentMojo]

Didnt see a thread for this - thought worthy of its own.

Interesting news. What is the purpose of this? e.g. Is this a Lucian influenced quebecois fraternity hire...

It's not about whether he's a good or bad person. It's about the fact this team is really being run as a country club. AEG doesn't give a f***. Kinda scary that the inmates are still running the prison while ticket sales and the team is ass. you'd think they'd care more

Don’t give the development department, don’t consult him for the direction/plan of the team and give him the talent evaluator/pro scout job and you guys will be fine with him

If that is his role, then good - because we could use more scouting in North America - half our roster is from Europe

Exactly what we are missing since Futa was let go. Trades are coming. hope we let go of the right prospects.

Then he could be a good add for you guys

 

[Moses Doughty]

As long as he doesn't intrude on Yannetti and co. on the scouting side this should be a good hire.

He also has no loyalty to the vets here, so maybe we finally have someone explain to Blake that Brown can't be in our lineup? Defiantly not on our top line.

I wouldn’t bet on that though, Brown is the type of player Bergevin really like

 

[OldCraig71]

Bergy loves Depth and character players but hates talent! I expect that Brendan Gallagher is a King before this season ends, to be reunited with his buddy, the underappreciated and super talented Phil Danault.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Great move! Blake needs a bit of help putting together a big trade. Bergy has had many. PK 4 Weber comes to mind. Also people going to freak out so that'll be entertaining.

 

[DAkings20]

Luc is going to replace Black with his buddy

Why would he be talking to Blake about that?

 

[Scottkmlps]

Ummm....sorry, what?

 

[Mats26]

Why would he be talking to Blake about that?

Because we should get something for him at the deadline if things go south. Maybe slip a note in TMac's pocket as well.

Brown is so bad that he shouldn't even be in a borderline team's lineup.

They need to trade Brown, and only a real contender would possibly have any use for him even though he drags a team down, for something at the deadline.

Pick one. They can't both be true.

Bergevin does like grit. He could be a good pro scout to help add someone better than a guy like Nate Thompson or Torrey Mitchell.

Wait, there were better guys available than Thompson and Mitchell?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

You'll be surprised to know I"m not a fan.

f***ing shoot me, could LA pull off any more nepotism? Did Luc need someone to talk shit with in French around the tables?

I've been really, really upset with Blake, Luc, and TM until the last week or so and now all this:





No details or media availability while Luc hires his BFF to run things with his other longtime non-accountability LA buddy.

This is bad. Unless you're a Ducks or Sharks fan.

Wonder if we can pick up Evander Kane, Mitch Miller, or Logan Mailloux while we're at it.

I get her point, but what does she care? When is the last time she reported on a game or attended a practice? These are the occasions when she could be asking all kinds of questions. The new Times building is less than a mile from Toyota Center ffs.

 

[The Lukeman]

This signing kind of stings, considering this guy has a history of dumbshit. Stings even more that the team is protecting him with media availability. It was rumored for a while so it isn't a surprise.

 

[tny760]

personally if i was blake i wouldn't be too impressed if luc publicly gave me a vote of confidence and specifically ruled out bergevin just a few months ago yknow? then hey your replacement is here.. this shit didn't happen overnight, especially not over the holidays

weird situation, i'm getting more suspicious about luc every day it seems like

 

[KopitarFAN]

I don't think he's ever been with amateur scouting, at least not since he got his start in 2008.
