ramcharger440 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Have to admit the moves he made are paying off, Benn is a perfect fit Martenson is a beast Ott is good in his role King I am not as sure about but I will wait and see a bit and the young d man looked ok last night. if he can finally make a move for a good winger and center in the off season we should be in good shape.

Benn has been a really nice add. Ott has done his job, albeit I'm not sure he's worth more than a Hudon or Scherbak or McCarron or Mitchell being in the line-up. He is what he is, and ultimately I don't see his addition doing much to propel us to a Cup. Davidson could be a nice piece to the puzzle. Even if he's a bust, MB did the impossible in finding a taker for DD, so no complaints here. Martinsen had one good game, then one weak game. I think he surprised everyone in his debut, but he still seems like he'll be a 4th line energy guy and again not a big part of the puzzle. He really reminds me of Lucas Lessio in terms of style of play, and the Habs decided to not even offer Lessio a contract this year, so Martinsen may just end up being a dime-a-dozen type of player. King has disappointed thus far and will need to step up his game. No real major losses in the trades, but also didn't do much to address the actual needs of the team (scoring top 6 player and a left-handed D man to partner with Weber). The D men will definitely help to solidify things in the playoffs, not sure the 4th line forward crop will play a big role though... MB really needed to do more given the circumstances of where this team is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB really needed to do more given the circumstances of where this team is at. I agree for sure on Benn. I am a little bit more bullish on Martinsen than you Ted because he uses his size but admittedly it is a small sample. King and Ott are meh and jury is out on Davidson although he got a couple of good licks in against the Canucks. Don't know that any of the newcomers outside of Benn will make a difference in the playoffs and I would prefer to see a better GM guiding the team's future next season. Bergevin's errors have been many and some are unforgivable ie Subban ouster and the foxhole. Tallon was the mastermind in Chicago .... Bergevin was along for the ride it appears.

PuckPundit Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 The funny thing about Bergevin refusing to trade picks and prospects, is that he'll still eventually end up trading away those prospects down the road because he judged they weren't good enough or had character issues . By then their trade return would be so much lower than if they had been traded years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_93 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Remember those commercials they used to air after the Super Bowl, where they'd ask the winning Quarterback what he was going to do now? "Hey Marc Bergevin, you've just shredded almost all of the talent off a roster you were handed. What're you going to do next?" And I imagine what he's going to do is go back to what he think he's good at: throwing away talent (Galchenyuk) for some hard workin' "character" plug who can't play hockey but sure hates to lose.

Habs=stanleycup Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks MB. For a truly disappointing & disgraceful end to our most continually confusing season. Insult upon insult and salt in our wounds, and upon the pride of the CH! You should not carry that weight alone. Please do us all a favor and RESIGN! Thank you in advance from a loyal fan.
