In a frank exchange on Monday regarding the scout-GM relationship, Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin hinted to an audience at the PrimeTime Sports Management Conference , that if it would have been up to him, he would have drafted Rielly third overall that year. Or, if Ryan Murray had been available (he went second to Columbus), it would have been him.
"I put a lot of value on defencemen, long term," said Bergevin.

I'm happy with AG.

Rielly is a fine dman but we had and have such a glaring need for a player like AG

Chuckie is 4 years into the NHL and has yet to stick at center

Blame management....but at some point the player needs to force management's hands by not giving them the choice to keep him there
