Don't tell me tell Bergevin.. Lol
Don't disagree just think Danault is a guy they see as a long term core guy, I'm not in the Montreal market so it's just my opinion, who knows maybe they will deal him, I really think they should move Tatar and especially Petry, really don't see how either guy fits in with where the Habs hope to be in the next few years.

Montreal doesn't need local talent in order to build a powerhouse contender. It's nice to have, but it isn't necessary. Detroit's 25-year playoff streak was built on the backs of major draft steals from Sweden and Russia, not local Michiganders. The same should probably be the case in Montreal. I think that Domi's worth more as an asset long-term, and if you trade him now, you're IMO selling low. I'd rather have Domi myself, but I see him as essentially an untouchable player for them. Then again, though, I thought the same thing with prime PK Subban, so maybe I'm wrong. Honestly, if Montreal really cared to be a French-Canadian recruiting powerhouse, they probably should be paying the moon for Tampa's QMJHL scouts. They seem to do a phenomenal job with finding the talent there (Gourde, Paquette, Barre-Boulet, Killorn, Joseph).
The Habs aren’t a normal team. Here u need a French coach and mainly a French gm. U also need French talent. Bergevin isn’t the problem (for French talent) it’s the nutty French fans.
As for the trade I can’t see this happening for two reasons.
One, unless something crazy happens I can’t see them letting danault leave(even though it’s the right move.)
And two this deal makes zero sense for the Habs. Brady is nice but he’s 26. If the Habs move danault(along with Tatar and maybe petry) it’s because they’ve embraced the youth. Not saying this would be the trade but danault for bean and a first( obviously provided that danault extends) if that’s too much then a bean and a second or something along those lines
