So let me get this straight, Montreal traded away their top blue chip prospect on defense, for a winger that can maybe/maybe-not play centre? Sounds reasonable enough.
Sergachev is off to a strong start this season, posting 3 goals and 5 assists and is a +3 over nine games with Tampa, while Drouin has 2 goals and 3 assists and is a -5 over 8 games this season with the Habs. Yet another deal where Marc Bergevin got his ass handed to him, how does this guy keep his job?
Sergachev will play in his 10th game of the season with Tampa tonight, essentially burning off a year of his ELC.
Digging a little deeper, Montreal has signed Carey Price (30) for the next 9 years at $10,500,000 per, and has Shea Weber (32) under contract for the next 9 seasons at $7,857,143 per. That’s right, they have two players over 30 locked up for the next 9 years at $18,357,143, essentially killing any chance of a rebuild.
The Habs do not have a first or second line centre.
The Habs do not have any goal scoring.
The Habs defense core is brutal.
The Habs goaltending is underperforming.
The Habs cannot draft.
Tabernac!
