HF Habs: Montreal Canadiens Hockey Ops - Part 3

[BLONG7]

Bergevin was tough to judge in the moment. Most of his moves looked bad, but a few of them worked out surprisingly well. The problems were mostly fundamental and less visible, not valuing good players, trading away too many picks, absolutely trashing player development.

It’s obvious he was bad in retrospect, but at the time some of them things I blasted him for worked out. Therrien had a good season or two, Domi scored, PK crapped out a season or two after the trade.

No question he was bad, but he had enough unexpected successes that he could fake competence.

Price was the reason the majority of the time we had good seasons..............dragging the team into the playoffs, and then Price was the reason we finished low in the standings when he got hurt.
Bergevin and Therrien, we beyond awful at their jobs for the most part....
Flawed philosophy from the get go......................Mol$on was a sucker for 10 years.
