Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He has a lot of great things to talk about this year and I think this might be the first time he will tell us the truth! Great job Bergevin 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Nothing too exciting in the presser. Don't expect any other signings from the Habs and expect a lot of daily transactions for salary cap flexibility. A quick summary of the highlights: https://www.habsworld.net/2021/01/notes-from-marc-bergevins-press-conference/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illWill Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Was he talking about how big his ego was and how it would affect any potential roster moves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm a bit disappointed to hear there won't be anymore signings (and there probably won't be many trades this season.) I would have liked another centerman option on the taxi squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked another centerman option on the taxi squad. I wouldn't have minded another centre as well but they do have Poehling, Dauphin, and Blandisi who all have some NHL experience plus Vejdemo who was up at the end of last year for a handful of games. That's not the most talented of options but basically, the only other unsigned C of some sort of significance left is Brian Boyle. At this stage, he's not all that much better than some of the internal players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m gonna stick to my certainty that we are cup bound and ignore this glaring hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yes ... and yet centre is in far better shape than a year ago. A solid Suzuki, Kotkaniemi on the upswing (we believe!), Evans has some NHL experience under his belt -- and hopefully Poehling now has his head screwed on right. If we lose one of the top three centres for the season, we'll be in trouble, to be sure, but we should be able to deal with lesser injuries without the team falling apart.
