Yea that's a good way of looking at it Morris. I guess it just depends on where you rank Bergevin. Personally, I would have liked somebody with a bit more experience taking the GM's chair in Montreal, especially with the present state of our franchise, but sometimes, young guys, are the people most in touch with today's players and game that even though there short on experience, they bring a number of other valuable assets.
Where we differ though, is I don't really care at all if the GM speaks french or not. I don't think we need somebody who has to cater to this market. I'm tired of catering to Quebec in general. I could maybe relent in that we need somebody somewhere in the orginization to speak french, but does it 100% have to be the general manager? It's just that, it's a job, where there's only 30 positions in the world available, why limit our scope to people who speak french. We can get people who speak french and give them some sort of translator or special assistant to the GM or something role, but for the GM, let's get the best guy.
Having said that, Bergevin isn't a bad choice, french or not. Let's just hope he gets this ship righted.
