<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Easy this team is better than it has been over the last 8-10 years, that includes the team Price carried to the conference finals in 2014. We have depth at each position, our scoring is down but I think that has more to do with the system being implemented and a lot of unlucky bounces more than the players not being capable of finishing. Just compare the beginning of the year to this last quarter, what has changed? We were top of the league in goal differential for the first month to month and a half. Around the same time we changed strategies to more of a defense first system our goal production dropped off. The coaches are trying to prepare us for the playoffs where goal scoring is reduced and teams focus on defending, I am not concerned about not making the playoffs, we are in good position now. Once we get there we can play with any team, look at last game. We out shot the Leafs and two of their goals were just unlucky bounces (1 deflected of Merrill and the other bounced away from Allen). The Matthew's goal IMO should have been challenged for a high stick because it was close and could have potentially been called back. Either way without our unlucky bounces the score would have been 2-1, instead of the Habs getting deflated they would have continued to pressure and possibly have tied it up. We weren't really outsourced or out played so much as those unlucky bounces killed us, and even if the AM goal wasn't a high stick then it was a pretty flukes bounce off Suzuki finished by nice skill by Matthew's. The PP goal for the Leafs was just great execution by a great PP. All this to say the game was closer than the score and headlines this morning indicate.</div></div>

tl;dr sounds like a lot of coping

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>You're telling me that Bergiven is a bad GM because he wasn't able to draft a generational talent? You don't just magically get generational talents like McDavid and Matthews out of nowhere. You have to have draft lottery luck (being bad helps, but you can be dead last for 5 years straight and there's no guarentee you will win the first overall, and even if you do, there's no guarentee that player will be a generational talent), or you have to sell off your depth to trade for one, which is usually not really worth it. Plenty of teams have won a cup without players like that. In fact, the majority of cup winning teams are teams without generational talents. Can't fault him for not having one when its not really his fault anyways.</div></div>

I'm not saying he's a bad GM, I'm saying he lacks vision. You either tank or go all in, no in-between, especially for a franchise of Montreal's caliber. If you draft in the middle, you make moves for average to slightly above average players, that's all you'll get, an average team. A team that is mediocre. Sure the draft takes luck and you need to be bad at the right time to draft the right player. What you can't do is be bad for one season, draft one top draft player and say "everything is good now let's try and compete". That almost never works. If you're going to be bad, be bad, tank, draft the right players and maybe you'll be good in 3-4 years. But if you follow MB's blueprint and stay around the middle, that's all your team will ever be in the middle. Take the Leafs for example, of the 6 past draft years if they were to draft once in the top 5 (not the number one) and a bunch in the middle of the first round, would they have the team constructed today? No. That's because they had a vision to build a successful team. Sure it took some luck and really bad seasons but look at them now, near unstoppable. So if you tell me to pick a plan to build a franchise, I'll always pick the Leafs way of "resetting" rather than the Canadiens.
