Cap Move By Bergevin

June 30, 2018

By Brian Wilde

If you build it, they will come. Screech!!!!

Hold it. Let’s try that again. If someone else builds it, the Habs will take what you can’t afford, so one day they can say that famous quote from Field Of Dreams. Alas, this is not a time for dreams in Habs Land. This is a time for dreams in years to come.

The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens gets it. He understands that if a UFA doesn’t want to come to Montreal for whatever reason, then he can use all of that unused money to take on salary dumps of teams who are building their dreams now, and then he can use all of those assets acquired by building his own dream for the future.

It is brilliant. It is about time. It is time.

    Good thoughts also thinking hold on to Patches, not seeing benefits of moving him just to appease a few

    Really excellent, Brian.
    I wish you could find a way to be paid to do what you do so well.
    You are my first go-to read. You will be missed. Thank you!
