The cult of personality around Bergevin was really upsetting.

we just got a 4th sure Kovacevic, 2nd and 3rd for Harris seem very high even in a Vacuum. Considering our depth chart at LD I feel that Harris didn’t have much more value than a 3rd. They paid us to take Laine…

Columbus moved someone who no longer wanted to stay there and they trade his entire cap hit without retention.
Montreal maximizes their cap space by acquiring a goal scorer for their Top-6, while simultaneously moving someone who had been surpassed by others in the depth chart. They also get a draft pick as compensation.
Both teams got what they wanted out of this deal.

CJB wouldn't have taken Barron, they want to give ice time to Jiricek this year and they have two vets at RD as well. LHD was their weak spot and Montreal's strength.

It's a trade where everyone got what he wanted.
Waddell : Wanted cap space and to add depth to his D Corps
Laine : Wanted out of Colombus
Hughes : Wanted to add a productive player to the top 6 at low cost and low risk. Wanted to add a pick to take on Laine contract
It's a triple win

I wonder if they choose Harris over Struble? I would have pick Jayden Struble. He is younger and more physical.
I don’t want to spend too much time talking MB, I’m still riding the dopamine high of drafting Demidov and the Laine trade, but I just wanted to address this part.
MB thought he had what they needed to win the Cup, as long as he saw Carey Price, he was completely fine with tinkering around the margins of the roster.

Struble and Engstrom are in a whole different category, since they are waiver exempt. They can still develop in the AHL and be called up if they are doing well and/or to replace injuries.
Barron is still a bit of a question mark, since he has a higher potential then Harris and he is RD. He will probably see a lot of ice this year to see what he can really do before they make a decision.
Harris made sense, in that pretty much everyone agrees that he will be an honest 3rd pair LD, but is very unlikely to break the top 4. Montreal has too many of these, and because he was stuck in Montreal who risked loosing him for nothing, this was basically the best D to move from the pool of prospects.
Craig Button on Marinaro's show last night:
"I watched Laine in 2016 lead that World Junior team in Finnish soil to a gold medal. All the greats of finnish hockey were there, all calling and expecting a gold medal and he delivered it, boy did he deliver it. Laine has never had any issue dealing with pressure, he will not have any issues dealing with pressure. "
"The Columbus blue jackets were a disaster when he was there, a disaster, a total disaster. Its a miracle anybody performed at all on that team. We should be celebrating Patrik Laine for standing up against the mess that was going on in Columbus, we should be celebrating Patrik Laine."
"I am sick and tired hearing about you can't win with Patrik Laine. You know who you can't win with? The Columbus Blue jackets! And the mess of a management and ownership they have had for years. Players should be going, I think Patrik Laine is right, I can't win in Columbus, period. It was a joke."
"What is Columbus in this league? A game on the schedule. That is all they had ever been"

I hate MB for many reasons, but he did get one of the best trade deadline player in Vanek... Anyways, we can shit on him but he did get some good (mostly lucky) moves once in a while. He just has no clue how to build a winning team.

Maybe Carey will start feeling better and will be able to give it another go for a couple of seasons once da core is ready to fight for the cup? I wouldn't 100% discount it.
Man Button was brutal, brutal on Marinaro's show. Holy cow. Brutal. He totally destroyed Columbus.

Not using dark mode is crazy
Yes I was talking for offense. Ghule also a 1st round pick + Barron on the roster , + the youngsters coming like you said .
Holy smokes lol. Rare to hear a talking head be that frank and brutal.
Hard to argue about how brutal this organization has been though.

Pissed off that he took Drouins number. Worse than Gallagher taking Koivu’s number 11

Absolutely, absolument. On s'en câliss ! I'm fed-up with those so called truths that would mean anything, like some sort of proven science that at the end is just anecdotic, idiotic and symptomatic of medias who have nothing to write. And some people get into that train and they beleive it.
