Yet another nail in the Fire Bergevin coffin. How in God's green earth does Plekanec survive in the CH longer than Markov? How do you let a guy who has played 990 regular season games for your club, who is 100% retiring after the 2 year contract he is looking for, who is still pretty darn good at 39, walk away?

I didn't think it was possible, but somehow BargainBin has made the Habs even worse this offseason. It's like the Drouin move was a pathetic smokescreen for what was to transpire in the following 6 weeks.

He has no clue what he is doing. Not a single fucking clue. What's even scarier is Molson can't see that. Our problems trickle down from ownership.

D core? Worse than last year. Still no #1LHD. Lets our best D-man of the past 20 years walk away instead of treating him with respect and letting him finish his career in Montreal.
O core? At best equal to last year if Drouin is the real deal. Still no #1C.
Goaltending? We just gave a goalie $70M in signing bonuses.
Prospects? Even more of a pathetic pool than we had last year.

Yet another year of low scoring, porous D, and hanging our hat on Carey Price's health and save percentage incoming.
 
Classless franchise.

He has a plan B guys, he wouldn't be so stupid to let a much needed player like Markov leave like that

Everything is fine
 
Also Markov said he would like to come back to Montreal/NHL next year so he's not closing the door completely.

I think I understand the decision of going to the KHL so he can go to the Olympics in Korea. That's fine. As long as he comes back to Montreal next offseason.

WTF is BargainBin hoarding cap space for anyway? $8.5M just sitting there. LMAO if he thinks he is going to make a serious bid for Tavares.

Keeps Therrien way longer than he should out of respect or some bullshit, lets Markov walk while he's 10 games away from 1000.

Man, there was a mass exodus of Russians from Montreal this summer.

Markov
Emelin
Radulov
Nesterov
Sergachev

Basically every Russian in the organization except Nikita Scherbak.
