A future star player about to be stolen from the Canadiens by Bergevin
The name Marc Bergevin is increasingly linked to the Columbus Blue Jackets for their general manager position.
When it's this intense, usually, there's no smoke without fire.
«Marc Bergevin, hired as senior advisor to general manager Rob Blake in January 2022, is under consideration for the open general manager position of the Blue Jackets.» - Dennis Bernstein
According to many, hiring Bergevin at CBJ would be very bad news for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens. Here's why.
Let's remember that the Columbus Blue Jackets hold the 4th overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft, which is just before the Montreal Canadiens' pick.
Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins would then have the chance to "steal" Cayden Lindstrom from the Canadiens.
«If Marc Bergevin becomes the next general manager of the Columbus Blue Jackets before the NHL draft, he will almost certainly take the big Cayden Lindstrom with the 4th pick.» - HabsOnReddit
Many experts firmly believe this.
Moreover, as Tony Marinaro mentioned on BPM Sports, Bergevin's biggest mistake in Montreal was waiting nearly 9 years to find a number one center.
He won't make the same mistake twice, and Cayden Lindstrom is quite a center, quite a hockey player!
Cayden Lindstrom, 18 years old, is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound center who has accumulated a very solid 46 points (27 goals) in 32 games this season in the WHL. (66 penalty minutes)
