Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin has been at the helm of the Habs for close to nine years now. He has had his fair share of ups and downs during his lengthy tenure, and public opinion of his has changed dramatically on a few occasions.

When he first arrived, most of his moves were minor and the bigger trades were mostly cost cutting moves. He became known as a savvy capologist when he was able to move out the contracts of Erik Cole, Travis Moen and Rene Bourque and bring back players that had much less term.
