If you have no Character (2016 off season), you will have negative Attitude (2018 off season), cause you don't believe in what is in the room (1st quarter of the 2017 Season). What did our management expect with a tank season where a lot went wrong. To have a better attitude at losing games? I'm not a Bergevin hater but man he needs to talk less. He should of just said the season was a disaster and I under estimated the impact at losing Radulov and Markov who are very Experienced, Skilled, and good Leaders. I guess he already used the "it's on me card". Talk less buddy... it's for your own good. Let Molson and others do the talking. Go concentrate with your team of scouts at reinforcing our prospect pool with Grade A prospects. Making moves for the sake of getting us back to the playoffs is a mistake and you will lose your job in this case... 12 months from now. We can get back to being competitive but our ceiling is a 2nd round loss (best case where everything goes right for us). We just have too many holes to fill and trying to fill them through free agency and trades is stupid. Try for Tavares and if we are not successful, target youth.
Better Attitude comment needs to come from the coach in pre-season. Julien also deserves heat for running a terrible camp IMO.
As far as Scherbak. He looks promising if he can stay away from injuries.
