Canadiens: Bad Contracts Were Bergevin’s Parting Gift for Kent Hughes

In November of 2021, Marc Bergevin was fired as General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens, a position he held for nearly a decade. Upon his departure, Bergevin left the Canadiens with a mixed bag of young talent and aging veterans, a group that was nowhere close to good enough to win a cup. Flash forward almost two years later, and some of Bergevin’s moves are still plaguing the Canadiens.

Bergevin made a ton of moves while at the helm in Montreal, some good and some bad. He brought in young talent via trades like Nick Suzuki and drafted young stars like Cole Caufield and Kaiden Guhle.
