Chiarelli rightly gets a lot of flack for being a bad GM, but Bergevin might be just as bad.

I'm no fan of the Subban/Weber trade, but the Eberle/Hall trades are terrible. Plus G. Reinhart? Holy hell

NHL GM has been shut down by owner after another bad trade.



A National Hockey League general manager has reportedly just been handcuffed by his owner and will not be making any more significant trades for his current organization according to a former NHL player.

During a segment on 91,9 Sports radio in Montreal, former Montreal Canadiens enforcer Georges Laraque revealed that a very reliable source has informed him that Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin has been effectively shut down by owner Geoff Molson, seemingly indicating that the owner has finally lost confidence in his controversial GM.

According to Laraque his source is an NHL player agent with knowledge of the situation, and Laraque even hinted at the fact that his information may have come directly from an agent with multiple Montreal Canadiens' players under contract. Again a sign that those within the organization are quickly losing face in the leadership of Bergevin, and perhaps for good reasons.

Perhaps even more interesting from Laraque is the fact that he now says that the Canadiens will not be trading captain Max Pacioretty due to the fact that ownership simply does not have the confidence that his general manager will be able to get a quality deal if he does indeed move the star winger in a deal.

The news is very surprising indeed given the fact that it seemed readily apparent that Pacioretty would in fact be traded prior to the NHL trade deadline, and there were even reports that people from within Pacioretty's camp fully expected the trade to happen in the days leading up to the deadline.

With this news coming down today one has to wonder if it's simply a mere coincidence that this news has started to leak after the latest trade from Bergevin has once again resulted in major backlash against the organization. Both vitriolic and angry messages have been pouring in from the Canadiens fan base this morning despite the fact that the Canadiens only made a relatively minor trade deal.

For those who missed it, Bergevin traded 26-year-old defensive prospect Jakub Jerabek to the Washington Capitals in exchnage for just a fifth round draft pick, not much of a return at all. The issue for fans doesn't seem to be so much the fact that the Canadiens got very little in return on the deal, but rather that some other players weren't traded ahead of Jerabek who had shown some positive signs in limited play with the Canadiens.

Many feel that David Schlemko, another player that Bergevin acquired via a trade with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, should have been the first man up on the chopping block, and some view the decision not to move him instead as Bergevin refusing to acknowledge his previously erroneous trades.

In fact the trade of Jakub Jerabek would likely have made barely a ripple were it not for the number of mistakes already being attributed to the incompetence of the Canadiens front office, but it seems that patience from one of the most rabid fan bases in the entire league has finally run it's course.

Lastly we will leave you with some of the reactions from the Montreal media surrounding this most recent deal from the Habs.

For the record, I really was just going for a lame "hockey nickname" here - so please don't think that I actually put any thought or meaning behind it.

If true I can't believe it actually took this long. I'd have fired him over the Subban deal.
