Yeah, I get that but it still doesn't make much sense. Bergevin would look much better if Drouin was producing, even on the wing.

de la Rose eh. He's essentially won the lottery here. Massive career opportunity.

Which poster will be the first one today to uselessly chime in with "they should play Chucky" at center?

I believe Bergevin just throws darts at the wall re his lines/centres.
It is but he is on wing still as is Drouin.

they couldn't possibly be stupid enough to play De La Rose between Galchenyuk and Drouin, could they?

Yes, I'm kidding people.
Re: Habs News & Notes: 2017-18 Regular Season
How could that possibly be any worse?
What difference does it make at this point?
Might as well see what De la Rose can do with these guys, he's on his last legs with the organization anyway. I'm expecting him to be traded by the summer, probably in some larger deal.

As some point, you gotta accept the hand that you have.....Drouin-Chuckie are defensively liable, just try to play them against weaker lines, and play Max's line against top lines. It won't be fun on the road, but you hope that by allowing them to play their game to the max, you will get more goals-for than goals-against
We have wasted 5 years of Chuckie...we could've had 30 goals from Chuckie almost every year if they allowed him to play his game....we have Weber-Price making close to 20M to help prevent goals (yes, i know it's not that simple....but for Bergy it seems to be that simple when he makes his trades and gives out contracts)

We know it will be nothing as he has no offensive ability whatsoever. I expect him to have a game or two with a couple of points and some fans in social media will get excited over him. However, we know how it turns out for him.
Again though it appears our GM was loose with the truth when he said right now Drouin is best option at centre. Two games later, he is on wing with a centre who lacks any offence. He still will not allow 27 at centre because he is too stubborn.
Even the Al Davis in a track suit Raiders teams thinks we are dysfunctional

Bergy's ego is certainly front and center...
I believe next year Julien will want to do things entirely his way, and Chuckie will be back at center (unless Bergy trades him before then).
Julien will also need to get his own assistants....

At least DLR won't be sacrificing any offense by playing center.

Just on the ice.
So DLR and Byron and the two top C of Habs, who have thought of this? For sure creativity is not lacking in this organisation
