Too much to count, but you know better than anyone else what it is like dealing with tankophiles and ultra homers who treat Hughes as a religious icon.You gotta be more specific
I fully question the notion that Hughes, Gorton, and MSL are in the upper echelon of GMs and Coaches.
I was happy with the Laine trade but also made it clear that this couldn’t be our only competitive move because why are we adding a notoriously injured player to our notoriously injured team and expecting it to work out?
I put a poll up this summer asking if we would rather have MSL or Rod Brind’Amour coaching us… MSL won the overwhelming majority of the vote and again I was called crazy for questioning his prowess.
Before the season I said this team was more likely In contention for 1st overall pick and not the playoffs. I was constantly told I was an idiot for thinking this team could be worse than past years, everybody was counting on progression. Dach was going to come back and be a monster, etc.
Suzuki and Caufield are having the best seasons of their lives and the team has nothing to show for it.
And for those saying rebuilds usually take a decade and we are on course - the Habs haven’t missed the playoffs for 4 straight years in their 100+ year history so congrats to Hughes and co for setting a new record for us, probably the only record that gets broken during their tenure.
Oh and if you still want to blame the mess on Bergevin… you can blame Gallagher on him but nobody forced Hughes to turn down a 1st for Anderson or to re-sign Allen and then waste retention spots on him, Edmundson, and Petry. Those were all mistakes he made.
And lastly this manager squad would’ve taken Sennecke over Demidov if he was still available - you know it, I know it too
