Habs News & Notes: 2019 Offseason

Rolex said:

We know why Subban was traded. He promoted his brand over the Habs' brand. This is not the NBA...Molson wasn't too happy when he didn't use the Habs Foundation to make his 10 M donation.

His personality didn't fit well with the rest of the locker room.....which is also why he will eventually wear out his welcome in Nashville.

Finally, Price pretty much said it when he spoke after the trade: Subban didn't always follow the team plan on the ice.

Personally, I'm thrilled the Habs locker room is finally united with no disgruntled cliques to speak of. A shitty record is a small price to pay for exquisite team harmony.

It seems that since the days of Koivu-Rivet cliques, we've had issues with locker room unity...I'm certain ALL teams have these issues, but in Montreal's intense media scrutiny, everything is amplified ten-fold.

It's really hard to get 20 young dudes to get along... But who the **** cares? Just win baby. Seems to me that Bergy is more concerned about being right and solving problems that are irrelevant.

1/ This week 9 players drafted by the #Habs since 2012 will be playing in the NHL. One team in entire NHL (CBJ w 10) will have more.

2/ CBJ has had 6 top 20 picks since 2012...Habs 2. CBJ eight 1st rd picks...Habs 6. The fallacy is the Habs have drafted poorly is false.

At least 5 will be playing in top 6 fwd/top 4 D roles this week in the NHL...so not just grinders either. CGY/COL have 3 total picks in NHL.

+1 GM Bergevin declining interview request today is not sinister; usually addresses media at golf tourney, trade deadline, postmortem, draft
