On Alex Galchenyuk
“Could [Alex] play centre? On occasion. But in an ideal world, I saw him more as a winger,” – Marc Bergevin on Galchenyuk

#Habs Bergevin on Galchenyuk not panning out at C: “I don’t think (Galchenyuk) was a failure; I can name you a bunch of players who were drafted as centremen and they become wingers or it takes them a lot longer to become a centreman.” 1/2

2/2 #Habs Bergevin on Galchenyuk not planning out as a C: “Centre is one of the hardest positions to play and a lot of guys don’t want to do the work or don’t understand the work or it’s just too hard for them. So it’s not a knock; it’s just the reality of our business. “

«Il reste quatre ans avant que Max ne devienne agent libre, deux ans dans le cas d’Alex, on voit de la valeur là-dessus aussi.» – Bergevin
“Max won’t be a free agent for another four years. Alex will be a free agent in two. That was part of it.” – Bergevin

Marc Bergevin asked about what happened to Galchenyuk in MTL and whether he thinks his first ever pick as Habs GM was a failed project: “No, not at all. He’s a good player, not perfect. I prefer to talk more about Max than Alex, please”.

On Max Domi
#Habs GM Marc Bergevin says dealing Alex Galchenyuk for Max Domi was a “hockey trade” – a one-for-one deal without an eye toward another future trade and that Domi will be in Habs lineup next season. #HabsIO

« Domi peut dépanner au centre, il l’a fait en fin de saison en Arizona, mais on sait qu’il est plus un ailier » – Marc Bergevin.

#Habs GM Marc Bergevin says Max Domi can play centre but he’s looking at him as a winger #HabsIO

“Max (Domi) wanted to play in Montreal, I don’t have the details on what happened in Arizona. I wish Alex the best of luck, but today we are are proud to have Max”. https://t.co/TQBHmqo7H8

«Pour les points par matchs, c’était pas mal serré entre les deux, alors on croit qu’il y a du potentiel ici.» – Bergevin
“Points per game, they’re pretty close, so I think there’s some untapped potential here.” – Bergevin
— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) June 16, 2018
«Je vous invite à aller voir des clips de Max Domi sur Youtube. Son énergie et son enthousiasme, c’est flagrant.» – Bergevin
“I encourage you to check out Max Domi highlights on YouTube. His energy and enthusiasm are off the charts.” – Bergevin #GoHabsGo

“I can’t pinpoint why, obviously there was a reason why he was available. But the potential is there” – Bergevin.
— Julian McKenzie (@jkamckenzie) June 16, 2018
“I guess I understand to some degree, because they don’t know Max…Once they see him play they’ll appreciate what he brings to the hockey team” – Bergevin on social media’s response to the Galchenyuk-Domi trade.
