Well,Vanek’s last couple years:
Bought out by Minnesota not playing all that well and getting paid a lot
Signed by Detroit, a non-playoff team for almost nothing and played well despite little help
Traded for a 3rd and Dylan McIlrath in a year when Hanzal got a multiple picks, including a first, and a prospect; Curtis fuckin Lazar got a 2nd and a roster player, Jannik Hansen got a 4th an something resembling an actual prospect; demonstrably worse players in Dwight King and Jarome Iginla went for not that much less in 4ths; and the Wings even got a 3rd for an AHL superstar in Tomas Jurco
Signed by Vancouver, a non-playoff team for not a lot of money and is again performing reasonably well on a lovely team
Traded for old newspapers previously stuck to the bottom of a birdcage by an idiot

So how many times have the Habs been totally shut out this season? I feel like it has to be at least 10 times. This teams just never going to be able to score, it's so loving pathetic for an NHL team. I think Buffalo will probably end up overtaking the Habs in Goals For by the end of the season but Arizona's franchise long shittiness will keep them out of dead last for that category. For how dreadful the Coyotes continue to be they are still only less than 10 goals back on the Habs and had no problem scoring 5 against them.

Also with Plekanec gone that's now only Price remaining from the team build when I first started following the modern Price era of the Habs. Don't think I'm going to be following them quiet so closely for the remainder of the decade now if not longer. Without the dynamic energy of PK and just nobody to be particularly excited about outside of Gallagher who I feel will somehow get traded for mediocrity in the off season, they just aren't the fun team to watch anymore that despite always having trouble scoring and not being anything particularly special on paper throughout the 2010's, still found ways to win, compete (for at least 2 periods) and conjure up unlikely results season after season going back to when Halak stole those Washington and Penguins playoffs series and got me back on the active hockey and Habs wagon. It's really not any particular players fault, it's Bergevin's for trading away everything that made the team viable up until 2016 for his hair brained gritty team scheme that to nobody's surprise hasn't panned out in the slightest.

gently caress Bergevin again so hard for saying things like the "answer is in the room" and always blaming players for not being able to develop well with the team while never seeming to accept any responsibility for having poo poo sense on how to build a competitive NHL so much as dismantle one and consistently kill and stifle high level draft picks confidence and potential. Yes the answer WAS usually in the room during the tough stretches they'd always seem to run into in November and February until 2016.....when he loving traded it or let it walk away.....

I feel like Molson somehow needs to go for allowing this culture of stifling players personalities or trading away ones that refuse to conform to Bergevin's stupid standards for the roster and having to have only French speaking management. Like it's not directly his fault I feel, but if he's not going to do anything to change that aspect of the club culture that is clearly capping the franchises potential to compete in todays NHL than he needs to go and sell the team to someone that will.

Like I've really thought about it but it's all crystal clear at this point more than the need to do something about Martin and Therrien who I now think weren't really the problems in their bad seasons.

because it's the rangers, i fully expect the rangers to believe themselves to be fully restocked for the future after the draft and to go after every possible free agent so get ready for a top line of kovalchuk - tavares - zuccarello and no defense whatsoever
