Sujet: When the new Gm start
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisjulienstillhere</b></div><div>Mixed emotions with bergevin for me

He’s been 10x better recently but still a couple of iffy move. Giving Suzuki 8 for nothing but not giving kk a chance? Not upgrading at c this offseason.

And holding onto Timmons way too ****ing long, he’s been better recently but still not great

Gotta give bergevin some credit though for some nice moves of late. Also is the gutsiest gm in the league

Do think he’s done after this season, his choice</div></div>

KK would still be playing with the Habs if not for Carolina's completely absurd offer. They were being cheeky and wanted to play immature games. I completely agree with Montreal to take the picks and go get Dvorak. So you can't blame Bergevin on that. Suzuki is and will be a very productive player, he will settle down with his new contract and play much better, give him a little more time. But not a bad contract for a 1st line Centre in the NHL.

I strongly disliked Timmins and often called for his resignation but I will give credit, he has done much better his last 4 drafts. My gut tells me Marc will move closer to his kids. I was a GM in Junior and my phone rang constantly, I could not even enjoy a meal with my family without my phone ringing, so I can only imagine what it is like at the NHL level.

What I do not like on capfriendly and RDS, is that people comment based on if the team won or lost. We lose a few and it is full of crazy trades and they hate Bergevin. We win a few and people like the team and Bergevin. It must be frustrating living a life based on emotions.

Sujet: Another take on next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan33</b></div><div>Do you work for the Habs? Are you part of Bergevin's inner circle? How in the hell would you know if they're not interested in Tierney? You can say that you don't like or want Tierney but to say they are not interested is BS. When will people on this site stop acting like they are representing their teams and speaking on their behalf.

That being said, he would be a great 3C that would provide more offensive upside than Evans but be just as responsible defensively. That way Dvorak could be allowed to focus more on offense while still being a player DD could use in all situations. And frankly, with the cap hell MB has put MTL in with the Suzuki contract, the Habs options for a reliable 3C that's affordable are slim. That's the reason I gave Tierney a 5 yr deal so the cap hit could be as reasonable as possible.</div></div>

Evans was in my summer camps for 6 years. I worked with Dom in 2009 &amp; 2013. Dom used to come to my summer camps with Pascal Vincent, Joel Bouchard &amp; Vincent Riendeau to scout some players from Ontario to play in the Q when they were coaching in Junior.

Dom, loves Evans defensive game and with very capable wingers that should put the puck in the net with Suze and D-Vo that add offense, this team will eventually unlock and score some goals. TIerney costs $1800000 more per season than Evans, from the cap you mentioned.

Suze is currently trying to justify this big contract. He was on the phone with Ryan (his brother) saying remember when we played EA sports and we would assign big contracts, well it just happened. Once he settles at his subconscious mind that the contract is not going away and he will be worth that, he will settle down and play better. All teams currently or will have cap issues, it is the reality of the "new" NHL. Teams with cap space will pluck players from teams up against the cap and it will be a continuous merry go round of ups and downs. It is the new reality of the cap structure.

Sujet: Reunited and it feels so meh
After reading numerous comments tonight after only the first game, I’m so glad I didn’t have some of you as siblings, parents or coaches. My goodness some of the comments are so negative.

It reminds me of a meeting in 1999, I was head coach of Junior A. We had played an exhibition game and we needed to cut two defensemen. We agreed on one but one of our scouts wanted to cut M, while I wanted to cut N. he was furious and threw his binder on the ground and stormed out.

I told the rest of the staff, N is currently better than M, but M come playoff time will be a beast to play against. Because I had final say, we kept M.

N played 57 games of Junior A for another team. M got drafted to NHL, was captain of his AHL team and played 17 seasons in the NHL/AHL.

You build for the playoffs and don’t have emotional reactions after the 1st game of the year.

Sujet: Chiarot and Savard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>Lmao why coaches are that bad ? You don’t do any eye test ? They both can’t skate, both no cardio, always a step behind, take penalties, not a good first pass, but hey at least they blocked a couple shot !</div></div>

I coached Benny years ago and Savard is well respected. They were not the reason Habs lost. Habs played well first 6 minutes and last 6 minutes. As you know you don’t win games in 12 minutes. At beginning of game it could have been 3 zip Montreal.

People said the same thing about edmundson last season and I defended him after first game and people laughed at me. He had an amazing season.

It’s only 1 game, relax enjoy life, develop a hobby. I was paid a salary in hockey for thirty years. Enjoy the game, it’s a fun ride.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>D I’d agree. And most forwards, but all? Suzuki? Caufield?
I see a huge difference between KK at 18 vs. Suzuki or Caufield at 20.</div></div>

You could even add Crosby, mackinnon. But if it’s a universal rule for all players then no complaints. It would be good for all players to taste the AHL. obviously the good players only stay one year.

I worked with a player that made the NHL as an 18 year old. He went from $50 per week to $32500 US every 14 days. Half way through the season he wasn’t doing well away from the rink.

He called me at 1 AM saying he needed help. He ended up staying at my house for a week and my wife fed him. He’s still in the league, married with kids but he found it hard to go from junior directly to the NHL as an 18 year old.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>This is the lineup I really want to try. I agree with you full that I haven’t liked Chiarot on his off side. Edmundson, supposedly, has played entire seasons on the right.

Guhle and Norlinder in Laval are definitely possibilities, I agree there also.</div></div>

Many people loved Romanov and wanted to give him a huge contract. Hopefully they saw how he still runs around. Yes he hits hard but he can be difficult to play with as a D partner. I strongly suspect he had it in his contract that if he came over he wouldn’t play in Laval but he should have been there all last season and this season. Some fans view it as a punishment but it’s actually to help his career. In fact all players should play 1 season in the AHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>Way too valuable to let go.</div></div>

I don’t dislike chiarot. I actually coached him many years ago. But as a coach of 23 years I’m a big believer in placing the D on their proper side. Just like Dom said he no longer wants Romanov on the right side.

It depends how the season unfolds, how Guhle, Norlinder arrive at camp next year. The rule of thumb is 2 offensive D, 2 defensive D, 1 heavy hitter and one Jack of all trades.

Chiarot &amp; Savard will be good together in playoffs but over 82 games in season they might have difficulties as team adjust.

I know Dom and how he thinks, having worked with him in 2009 &amp; 2013. I think Guhle and possibly even Norlinder might do 1 year in Laval. Depends on their camp and who’s in camp as well.

But I wouldn’t commit to 3 years to Benny
