This "Bergevin connection" is a tired, over-used connection. He might advise Blake in some capacity, but he is NOT the Kings GM. Also, he works for the Kings now. Why would he do anything to help the Habs? And why would Blake let him?
And finally, as has been pointed out, this is horrendous from LA's perspective. There isn't a piece in that trade that I'd give a 1st for, let alone Spence. And while Peterson isn't necessarily positive value, the Kings --at absolute worst-case-- can wait a year and buy him out in the summer of 2024 for extremely minimal cap implications. His contract is very buyout friendly. I wouldn't pay a 3rd round pick to dump him, much less a 1st and a good prospect.
