Aggressive response. I guess your terminology threw me off when you said tough it out. I guess I assumed you were implying that wasn’t the plan and they were expecting much better results based off a fluke playoff run. Weird enough I think most fans were optimistic and expected them to be competitive. I agree that’s crazy bc I assumed they would be a lottery team. That’s why I’m baffled they traded those picks for Dvorak
Aggressive, no not at all. Blunt, yes lol. Tough it out was in reference to them being absolutely nowhere near good enough to compete. Not in a bubble, not in an all canadian division, not even in a division with Ottawa and Detroit.
As a habs fan that has been clamouring for a full scale rebuild since 2016, this scenario is playing out perfectly, and is truly the only way this organization will ever rebuild. If they become absolutely terrible for more than half a season and finally win one of these damn lotterys.
And yes, Dvorak was an overpay, but Bergevin was painted into a corner so imo he didn't make out that bad. But like I said, had he let KK walk and NOT done anything, this city would have burned itself down. Atleast now, those delusional homer fans can see this team for what it really is, and hopefully we trade Dvorak when he's a year or two out from UFA for atleast a 2nd, maybe a 1st.
