His trades are for mostly 4th line players. Other gm's make less trade's but for better talented players / top line players.

 

Really, 4th line players. What about Shea Weber, Max Domi, Tatar, Suzuki.  Those are pretty good players

Weber

Petry

Domi

Tatar/suzuki

Drouin

Ryder

Vanek

Danault

Armia

Shaw

 

 

 

Who else is making this many trades for top 9/top 4s?

 

Only trades for 4th liners?  Thats some bullshit right there.

I disagree totally as per my last post. 

 

 

Not saying they were all lower end trades, but his volume has its fair share of those in it.  The problem was the lack of the trades this team most deserpately needed to be a solid playoff qualifier.  Example: not picking up a top pair caliber LD...it has been a problem for several seasons, so it can't be chalked up to waiting on Romanov next season.  Before that, we couldn't get the upgrade at center we desperately needed for several seasons running.

Your not listening his not adding top talent to this team his trading talent for talent.

 

Got Weber for Subban that's not adding 

 

Got Suzuki and Tatar by trading Pacioretty that's not adding 

 

He got Domi by trading galchenyuk not adding 

 

Only top players he added to this team without taking away from it was Drouin and Danault.

You have to give talent tonget talent.

 

Your complaint is that you want him to get good players for nothing?  Thats a stupid complaint.

Would you rather have Galchenyuk than Domi?   Subban than Weber?  Pacioretty instead of Suzuki and Tatar?  The only trade I would take back is the Drouin trade.  Do you think you can add top end talent in a trade for nothing?  Seriously?

I agree they need another defenceman. I was simply responding to your earlier post which in my opinion was incorrect. Cheers

Trading draft picks and prospects to add top talent to improve your team.

 

If you look at the trades he got lucky with Them. they could of been bad , Domi was a question mark, he didn't even want Tatar and the way Sergachev has died down the Drouin trade could of been bad also.

Armia?

 

But getting talent for nothing? Or are you saying he should have traded picks and prospects for older players?

Now you are complaining that he got lucky?  I am ok with MB getting lucky. I hope he has more luck. You are always taking a chance when you make a trade. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

No I am saying he should add top end players to the mix of this team without trading our key players which he hasn't done other than yes sorry forgot about Armia and I had said danault.

 

Lets not forget why he traded Pacioretty in the first place or galchenyuk in the first place or even Subban. All those trades were because he backed himself into a corner.

But how do you get top players?

  • Give up other quality players
  • Give up picks or prospects
  • Sign them as UFAs (if they were willing to come to Montreal)

I don't see any way to get top players without either giving up our current players, or by giving up our future.

It would be nice to add top end players without trading key players.  I think that's the dream of every GM. Not sure how that would work in the real world.  Other GM's aren't in the business of giving good players away unless they are desperate (ie. cap crunch which is how they got Armia).

Have you tried wishing really really hard?

Armia was an excellent trade. I am not sure what he is saying.  Maybe Habsfan89 will clarify.

No you didn't read right I missed mentioning Armia but those along with the Danault type of trades are what I am talking about we don't see much of that from Bergevin.

Well perhaps you can find examples of other GM's who are constantly getting top end players without giving up much.

 you give up prospects and a draft pick'S will get you a top player.  Watch the team's that challenge for cups every year and see how they do it. 

 

I am not saying the guy needs to be fired , I just don't get way people here talk about him like he's a God and the best in the world.

 

I will give him credit on turning this team around in 2 years. But I just feel at this point we should be able to add top talent to this team To gel with the talent we have. 

 

This to me smell's of a rebuild not a retool. Say it's a rebuild and we don't see us making a cup run now and I will be fine with it. Don't give us false hope and do nothing.

Wilson. In picking up Thornton and Burns being the most obvious examples.

Those are good examples for sure. Of course one could also argue that San Jose has never won a cup and might miss the playoffs this year but Wilson kept them competitive for a good stretch of time.

Getting lucky is a bullshit argument just to take credit away from good work and good pro scouting.

 

If he loses the deal... fire bergevin

If he wins the deal... he got lucky.

 

Its just bullshit to not give the guy credit.  Come on now.

He’s built a consistently competitive team and that’s all you can ask in today’s NHL.  It’s moronic to judge a GM solely on cup wins.  Their knob is field a team that has a realistic chance and Wilson has done that for a long long time.   He regularly brings in elite star players, has done a great knob of drafting and developing.  I’ll take him as a GM over a guy like Lombardi who did win the cup.

 

the TBL are a perfect example of  how there is. No guarantee even with a well constructed team.  The key is good GM’s are able to get and develop ELITE players,  fill their holes and improve their teams and have teams that are consistently playoff teams. The Bergevins rotate parts without really improving their team and will the dice.
