Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Jeff Petry signs extension with Habs (4 years, 6.25m AAV)

[glenbuis]

That, the Desharnais and Alzner signings plus you could argue not signing Radulov were his biggest mistakes. It's not really a bad list.

Still, Radulov at 7m would not have made this team a contender and it would have affected our cap as we stand today.

Not exactly sure where I heard this or if there’s any legitimacy to it but when the habs we’re eliminated from the playoffs I think to the rangers , there were some unhappy people in the dressing room . This unhappiness came from how the Russians were playing cards , laughing and having a good time after being eliminated . Again I’m not sure of how accurate this was but there did seem to be a purging of Russians that still exists to this day .
Radulov , Markov, emelin , sergachev ( was a prospect ) and I think I’m missing one .

 

[TT1]

damn, that was unexpected. nice deal/term, thx Jeff

 

[Byron Bitz]

good Signing

 

[Steve Shutt]

As much as it didn't turn out to be very good. At the moment of the trade Drouin went almost ppg with Tampa in the playoffs while Sergachev hadn't played a game yet. Drouin was the 3rd overall from 2 years prior of Sergachev's draft. Plus he's a hometown boy. It's easy to say now the trade wasn't so good for the Habs, but at the moment it really wasn't bad.

I blame MB for that one summer where he signed Alzner and lost Markov and Radulov, that was his only real bad summer.

The Subban-Weber trade took balls to make but now he looks like a genius.

The Danault trade also a very good one.

The Pacioretty trade, probably his best

The Armia trade, the Petry trade, the Domi trade, the Vanek trade, the Kovalchuk signing, the Chiarot signing, Byron picked up on waivers,

He really isnt as bad as people make him out to be.

+Scandella flip for a 2nd
+Pleks for 2nd & Kulak (via Rychel/Valiev)

+trading Eller for 2 2nds when we had no Cs

but that's about it

 

[glenbuis]

Most of the flak bergevin gets dates back to the Subban trade. Subban was hugely popular with young and old fans and was always in the spotlight because that’s where you could find him . Bergevin really had no choice though . Subban was involved in more fights with his own teammates than with opposing players . A couple of these were pretty bad really especially the desharnais one . Subban on one hand was a game breaker but on the other would lead the league in minor penalties and giveaways. Whether bergevin got the right return at the time is debatable but the notion that bergevin is a bad gm or an idiot definitely stems back to that trade .

Losing Eller was not a big deal. Wasn’t one second Romanov?

 

[sansabri]

it was a pretty big headscratcher when looking at the roster

I'm pretty sure the Romanov 2nd came from the trade for Danault.

Not really. Getting Shea Weber for the lockerroom cancer that was P.K. Subban was highway robbery. It is obvious nobody offered more, else we would have heard about it by now.

Bergevin is an ace. The man has an incredible trading track record. Sure, his teams struggled, but then he had to blow up a young core and reboot (and IMO the rebuilding is going very well).

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

MB has made two mistakes that is mind boggling which is not resigning Radulov and trading for Drouin other then that he has won most of his trades and has gotten a ton of value back. The PK Subban for Weber trade I hated so much when it first happened but after a year and news of the problems Subban was creating I thought we got a good return. Subban is on his third team and Weber is still a decent top pairing Dman for us so its basically a win win trade when it comes to the Habs and Preds unless MB some how gets something stupid from the preds if Weber decides to retire before his contract ends. MB isn't perfect and I would like him replaced but by who though? not many good GM's out there and MB has actually started to turn the Habs around but it has to be this off season.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Nice signing. IMO, MB's trade and subsequent re-signings of Petry have been his best moves of date. I liked the Patches trade too, given the circumstances. Not sure I'd stick that somewhere in here.

Sorry Habs fans, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to complimenting your assclown of a GM

LOL.............Sergachev Drouin trade is a miserable one for the Habs.......................not to mention winning all his trades has led the Habs to become the 24th place team!!
The man is a clown in over his head, for the past 8 years.....
As for Petry, this is a win win for the player and the team!! Good signing.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I'm pretty sure the Romanov 2nd came from the trade for Danault.

That's correct. Weise and Fleischmann for Danault and Romanov.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I'm pretty sure the Romanov 2nd came from the trade for Danault.

Right. Fleischmann + Weise for Danault and the pick used on Romanov.

Eller trade brought Joni Ikonen and a pick traded to the Oilers (#62 Olivier Rodrigue) for picks 71 (Jordan Harris) and 133 (Samuel Houde).

 

[Prettyisland]

I was just referring to what that quoter wrote in the quoted post...

My bad

Which is crazy knowing now that we won that trade.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

My bad

No problem.

 

[glenbuis]

it was a pretty big headscratcher when looking at the roster

Eller for a while after the hit he took from the Ottawa defenseman wasn’t the same player . He came around a bit in Washington but for a good spell he looked like a deer frozen in headlights

I’m a big supporter of bergevin to . I think the Habs are still gonna be reaping more benefits from that trade yet because of salary recapture penalties . I just think he took a lot of unfair criticism because of that trade . Especially when Weber was injured and Nashville got to the finals and subban got nominated for a Norris .! Subban had to go but there were a lot of fans that gave bergevin a lot of flak for it . I think some of them still do

I thought there was an offer at the time from Edmonton involving draisatl and a pick . I could be wrong though

 

[glenbuis]

That's correct. Weise and Fleischmann for Danault and Romanov.

Thanks for clearing that up . So we can call that trade even than

 

[glenbuis]

I agree but it’s just my opinion that that is where it stems from . Subban may not have been popular in the dressing room but in Montreal he was a fan favourite. The work he did for the sick kids hospital and stuff , bergevin was hated by many for it even though I think the majority today would say we won that trade

the rumor was that MTL was after Dubois, when CBJ picked him at #3 the trade fell apart

there wasn't any word on the additional pieces

How was Subban a locker room cancer? I'm not too familiar with his time with the Habs. And couldn't find anything definite via google.
