If you can quantify DO for vs. against and a Harambe relevant statistic I'll vote for you.

Find me one person on this planet that WOULDN'T make that Seguin deal?

I mean, other that Chiarelli, I guess.

- BINGO!


That deal was a steal, but other than that, they are just good/average moves with a bunch of yuk in b/w. Average GM who gets a lot of credit from his Red Wings groomed background and pulling off that Seguin trade.

Bergevin b/c remember Seguin is a cancer in the locker room and they can't have that unless he's from russia

Average, like every GM, but he gets heralded as one of the leagues best bc he got Seguin. Other than its been pretty average

I'll give him credit for the Spezza acquisition. Also getting Janmark from Holland for Erik F'n Cole. Also not sure how he convinced CHI to give up Johns in the Sharp deal.

Goaltending is just a mess and seems like he still needs another dman.

I don't really consider Bergevin to be a General Manager.

it's like he accidentally got hired by the Canadians when he was trying to go find a job at a Tim Horton's and got lost and ended up at the Bell Centre

yeah they were decent trades, but has really dropped the ball when it comes to managing their D core....Russel trade over Hamhuis, then just to sign Hamhuis as a UFA after lettering Demers and Goligoski go. Still have no idea why they traded for Niemi's rights then signed him to that contract in the 1st place. Bizarre.

Like I said a bunch of good moves mixed in with some wtf was that. Pretty average GM overall, not bad but not some league elite genius

Yakupov to DAL wow ill go crazyyyy

Benn - Seguin - Yakupov
Nichushkin - Spezza - Sharp
Janmark - Eakin - Eaves/Ritchie
Roussel - Faksa - Hemsky

Hamhuis - Klingberg
Oduya - Johns
Lindell - Nemeth/Benn

Klingberg - Spezza

PP 2: Janmark - Eakin - Nichushkin

- JZ_DAL



I agree with you on this. Skllwise Yak has it all, he could keep up nicely on that first line. Anyone who writes this guy off has rocks in their head, he is not a Magnus PI

havent been reading the Hockey News or the Score this offseason? They love power ranking management groups

The score had the Leafs as the top management group in the league...since they tanked the right way (not even kidding).

Tearing it down is easy... now we see how good they are at building it.

If they want to rank the management high due to a HoF GM, two smart assistants who have proven themselves at the junior level and one of the best coaches in the game, then sure... if they want to give extra credit for making him - and one of the most impatient fan bases in the league - buy in then great... but to be ranked top for tanking is a joke.
