So that automatically make CJ a great coach? Just cause we had horrible coaches over the same span doesn't make CJ a good coach or even the best option at the time just the guy who MB liked the best that spoke French.

jennifer_rocket 0 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 It's not surprising to hear that Claude will be back. Heck, we're probably still paying Therrien. Can't imagine Claude getting canned with Therrien still on the books. Also... I don't really think Claude is our problem. And yes, I fully expect Bergevin to be around next season too.

H_T_L 0 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Put up another 8 game losing streak before season end and watch that tune change. That's assuming MB doesn't get ditched first. Link to post Share on other sites

I also dont think Claude is the (major) problem - like if we added the best coach in the NHL I dont think he'd get much more out of this team than kindly old claude, but i also think he's probably outlived his time here. 17 minutes ago, H_T_L said: Put up another 8 game losing streak before season end and watch that tune change.

jennifer_rocket 0 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Like Bergevin's playoff plan (i.e. IF YOU MAKE IT IN, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN), he's probably hoping ANYTHING will happen with the first overall draft pick. Maybe he's now banking on Lafreniere to save the team in 2020-21? Link to post Share on other sites
BigTed3 0 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 MB also doubled down and added that Weber and Price will not be moved in the off-season and will be with the Habs next year as well. So what we know from media reports: - Julien will stay - Price will stay - Weber will stay - He will try to re-sign Petry - He will try to re-sign at least some of Tatar, Danault, Gallagher, and Armia - He would like to trade a forward for a defenceman (La Presse article suggests it's Domi on his way out) - He sees Romanov as a 3rd pairing guy next year - He does not believe Caufield is ready for the AHL next year, never mind the NHL ... so short of winning the lottery and rafting Lafreniere, MB's plan for next season seems to be what it always is: hope the roster stays healthy so we can be a fringe playoff team.

We're stuck in mediocrity, while teams that were worse than us, like Ott, Van, and the NYR pass us via re-builds while we pretend being a fringe playoff team is the goal.

What the Red Wings have been doing is stockpile draft picks and young players. They are going through some growing pains right now, but you just watch, they will rebound in the next couple of years.
