Whether it’s a few days from now, halfway through the season, or right at the trade deadline, Marc Bergevin has to have his eye on the type of move that can get the Canadiens to the next level. (via EricEngels)

to get a bit more rest this season. Knowing how crucial Price is to the team’s success that has to help. And there’s a chance incoming forward Nick Cousins can do his part to at least partially supplant some of the grit and scoring lost in the cap-clearing June trade that sent forward Andrew Shaw back to the Chicago Blackhawks.

On Monday, Bergevin and Molson talked about the chemistry and stability of their roster, and they spoke enthusiastically about the growth of their young players who gained valuable experience down the stretch last season as the team fought to the bitter end before falling just two points shy of a playoff berth. They expressed that those elements should allow the team to continue progressing.

But even if both players are ready to join the Canadiens this fall, Bergevin still has an opportunity—and the incentive—to make a move that can push his team over the top.“Marc and I are on the phone every day and you never know what can happen moving forward,” the owner said. “The general managers across this league never stop talking to each other about opportunities and if there’s a good one for us to make our team better then we would do it.

EricEngels Fairly obvious free agents want nothing to do with Bergivin

EricEngels Brayden Point.

EricEngels MB needs to act quickly to a) save his own job and b) get the Habs back to the playoffs while CP0031 is in his prime. Habs have the assets to make a major move. GET IT DONE.

EricEngels Nope not gonna happen...

EricEngels Over the top of what? 😜

EricEngels Once again he did nothing. Could be first GM fired this season.

EricEngels I don’t have faith in Bergevin to make the last moves needed to get the Habs over the top. Habs need a sniper, top pairing LD, toughness and an upgrade over Petry

EricEngels Didn't sign markov which would of helped the d and the powerplay, this idiot's incentive to improve with trade means trade for more 4th liners for under 2mil

EricEngels Good read Sir Eric!

EricEngels Over the top of what?

EricEngels Meh. The Habs have about as much of a chance to 'push over the top' as the Leafs. It should be clear by now the Bergevin has to go. He's done nothing in his tenure to even get the Habs close.

EricEngels Been hearing this the last 3 years and he's done nothing in those 3 years.

EricEngels What is it about Montreal that all the beat reporters just write whatever MB tells them to?

EricEngels “Push the Canadiens over the top”? Over the top of what? A more accurate headline would use the phrase “...push the Canadiens into maybe competing for the last playoff spot if Price is completely absurd this season.”

EricEngels How did he miss out on Gardiner, he waited for a contract for 2 months

EricEngels Sign Mitch since it’s obvious that the leafs don’t want him 🔨🇨🇦👀

EricEngels Stay the course. See how the kids play. If they play great, trade some picks for an xfactor next year

EricEngels Ya knowing him Price for Lundqvist, or Gallagher for Maroon

EricEngels

EricEngels But... they’re not close to the top.. gonna be hard to push themselves over it lol

EricEngels

EricEngels

EricEngels 🚪🤲

EricEngels Eric why are we making excuses for MB?He walked ass backwards into a rebuild.If Chiarot and Kincaid are considered upgrades then I think we have a problem. We have unproven kids- ask Edmonton how that worked out-and an inpatient goalie.

EricEngels When will mr Engels return to covering the team as a reporter? I appreciate his talents as a PR man, don’t get me wrong
