good, I missed the press conference

I'm happy with the fact that he said one scout working in the QJMHL wasn't enough, that he will appoint more, and that if there is a great player playing in their own back yard, they can't miss them anymore.

Adding to it that he wants to add more french players to the mix, that he can't guarantee it, but that he'll do the best he can.

I loved Bergevin's reaction to having to answer the same questions twice.

I think there's a good chance they got the right guy...but I reserve the right to change my mind every five minutes.

It's not a question about changing your (or our) mind(s). Until he starts making moves, we have no idea what he's got in store.

The poor guy has a hell of a workload ahead of him. From finding a new coach, hiring assistant GM's, signing pending RFA's, the draft, UFA market, what to do with Gomez and Kaberle....

Doubt he'll do much in that area. Except add a few guys.

Team Canada is high on 18-year-old Ryan Murray, who could see more ice time with P.K. Subban out.

good to scout Murray at least..

I was kidding.

I actually think he's the right guy, probably from the outset. I really like the fact that he's completly detached from the habs history, while at the same time having grown up a hab fan.

Do you know who's Team Canada's GM? Murray won't be available at the 3rd pick.
