habsFan1986 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Ever since we named a captain to this team nothing has gone right. Did it divided the room? Should we have just left things the way they were? Was this team ready for a new captain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That sounds like it's attributing way too much causal force to the "C." Much more important is that the team was at a crossroads at the end of 2015. The question was clearly how to build on the strong foundation and put that group over the top. Instead, Bergevin made exactly the WRONG moves - fixing non-problems (Subban), depleting the prospect pool for lateral moves (Drouin replacing Radu), bringing in mediocrities to play key roles (e.g., Shaw and Alzner), letting crucial components age (Pleks) or leave (Markov) without replacements, and retaining garbage managerial talent (Lefebvre, MT) long after they should have been turfed out on their asses. It's possible that IF Price had stayed healthy in 2016, MB would not have had as easy a time deluding himself about chimeras like "leadership" and therefore would have made fewer mistakes by this point. But his kind of thoroughgoing mediocrity, incompetence, and ossified thinking was bound to make its impact felt sooner or later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
