Thread: Should Canadiens Fire Bergevin
It's not Bergevin the problem. He's a really good DG but he was given orders to <strong>win now</strong> since he arrived in 2012. Remember that Markov, Subban, Plekanec, Price time? We missed the playoffs drafted Galchenuyk and went back in playoff again. He aquired Vanek, Radulov, Petry. Who would have rebuilt at that time? Nobody. Then Price became a superstar, which delayed the process even more.

Bergevin is the reason we drafted that many prospect the last 2 years. He managed to get a lot of picks here and there. He got Domi, Weber, Drouin, Armia, Suzuki, Romanov, Byron.. I mean, why fire him??!

The burdens are Molson, who has to accept hockey is not all about money (I think he makes millions every single playoff game) and Price, who has to ask for a trade. Otherwise, we'll be fooled.

Thread: BLOCKBUSTER
Yes it's early to talk about rebuild but still, the core isn't good enough. It's NOT MB the problem, it's the order he has to "always have a competitive team" since he arrived. That obliged him to keep building around Price, Subban, Pacioretty and let say the two kids (GG). Awesome start, but to have better, he needed to trade one or wait for his late round picks. He did both, but after a bad year, and mid-bad drafting, he trades Subban, got a great prospect and fired the coach in the next season. Then he let Markov go (which is harder to accept than Radulov in my opinion) and traded that great prospect for an other one form Qc. His core is now Price Weber Drouin Pacioretty and Gallagher. Three of them will or are slowing down and nobody can replace them because again, MTL drafted poorly between 2010 and 2015.
He told publicly he was mad for trades he didn't do. I'm sure MB should stay in Montreal, he's got what it takes, but right now, he really needs to : 1. Work harder to win (blockbuster trade) 2. Rebuild
A rebuild doesn't have to be throwing away everything. It's a clever little plan of getting rid of a "unmovable" players for picks or prospect that you know will be a perfect fit in the close future. it's all about maximizing the sell.
If you want to give what it takes to get Tavares, or sign him after, sure. But you have to trade a guy like Pacioretty for his value now! And if you want to wait for the deal to come, you'll finish with a top 5 pick because you're team is loosing and loosing and it affects their moral and they're under pressure with all the medias. So at the end, if Montreal wins 10 in a row, it'll be thanks to Price, but it won't last. Good luck reaching the playoff, paying for retooling and not thinking about a long time very clever plan like Sam Pollock did with Guy Lafleur.

All this because Montreal was so good for 80 years.
