This means that we must highlight the contribution of the former GM to this current edition… and Réjean Tremblay has just done so in an article for Punching Grace.
What’s interesting is to see that Paul Wilson, who was Bergevin’s trusted man, shared that text today.

We know that occasionally, Wilson comments on what’s happening with the Canadiens… and often it is when the news in question is related to personnel moves that took place during the Bergevin era (and, in doing so, when he was also in town). Last October, we notably saw him highlight Logan Mailloux’s first goal in the NHL.
However, one fact remains: even if Bergevin didn’t only hit home runs (especially towards the end), he still left a rather solid foundation for Gorton and Hughes to continue their work.
It must be noted… and it’s interesting to see that Paul Wilson, who is no longer involved in the hockey world, felt compelled to defend the work of his former boss. The two are clearly still very close.
In a nutshell
– Nice try.
