HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition

[WatchfulElm]

Thank God we got Suzuki because Bergevin was pushing for Glass

I keep reading this on HFboards but I'm starting to wonder if it’s just some fans mythology. Has this ever been reported by a credible source?

At the time, Bergevin was so hated by the HFboard crowd that nobody would ever want to give him credit even for such a great move. So all we needed was someone to say he actually wanted Glass (who was actually the most touted prospect vs Suzuki, Glass would also have been the prefered pick by 99% of the fanbase), to make the whole crowd jump of this and accept it as the truth. But has this ever been verified? Or it's just part of the mythology that fits the popular narrative?

@WatchfulElm

Dont remember who but the guy was legit, maybe Lebrun

At the same time, they we're prospect so its kinda logic they wanted the player drafted earlier

Reminds me of the Corson/Turgeon trade years ago. Houle offered one of David Wilkie, Craig Rivet and Rory Fitzpatrick as a throw in. He told St. Louis to pick one...they picked Fitzpatrick.
How about Gainey throwing in Macdonagh in the Gomez trade...that one still stings.

I'd like to "like" your post but I can't. It still makes me sad.

I mean, Trouba has a no trade clause. Don't contracts mean anything anymore? Drury should blame himself for the mess he's in. Now he's supposedly alienated some of his players. I sure don't feel sorry for him. Actually, it looks good on him and the organization. Don't think Gorton is losing any sleep over it.

 

[electron58]

Can we get a first round pick out of this??
If so, I’m in.

And yes I understand why that will not happen considering the wife’s career.

How far away is New York from Montreal? Could it work?

They could technically waive him and send him down in the minors but they won't get any real cap relief it would be a poor look. But again, it's New York and players will always want to sign there no matter what.

Trouba will not waive for Canada with his wife situation

 

[red devil]

Trouba signed a contract that had a NMC for the 1st few years of his contract. Then this year it changed to a 15 team NTC and he is using it appropriately. I don't blame the player for using all resources available to them within their contract rights. If GM's are going to give out NMC and NTC then the player should be able to use them according.

Trouba is well within his rights, and even though these guys are millionaires, let's not forget they are workers. I invite NYR to pound some sand.

Yeah, Drury activated his right to waive goodrow in order to bypass his clause. He ended up on San Jose which he is probably fuming over.

The point is that Drury would do the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot.

Trouba is a douchebag, but not because of this.

To be honest I'm totally done with the Bergevin topic.
A complete waste of time and energy after so much time and energy wasted on him when he was here.
The results haven't come on ice yet but the complete 180 at the top is refreshing to say the least.

Even if it was a myth (it's not), Bergevin's tenure isn't one trade away from redemption. So whatever Bergevin wanted can be safely be filed under "who the f*** cares" at this point.

Patch did it when traded to LA i mean there's nothing new about that and yeah it's the player's right.

Man walking away from 8 million is a crazy decision no matter how rich you are. I'm sure KHL was an option next year for him anyways.

Maybe he just wants to play in his home country or he now realizes his skill set isn't NHL quality anymore.

Lets revisit this trade in 2 years.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah, Bourgault has way more upside than Jarventie.

It's a minor win, but hey that's monumental for Ottawa who never win a trade, minor or otherwise.

 

[Scotianhab]

Oilers fans hate Bourgault. They seem to think Jarventie as a C is an upgrade.

kk...I know Bourgault was a coveted prospect a few years ago around here, but from what I've gathered, he hasn't really put it together in the AHL yet.

They're the same age, and Jarventie has been more productive in the AHL.

Edmonton isn't the best for developing their prospects. Like I said, it's a minor win and I'm mainly dunking on the Sens haha.

Interesting though, Jarventie was another one of the Sens vaunted prospects...
