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.
According to many, hiring Bergevin at CBJ would be very bad news for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens. Here's why.
Cayden Lindstrom would be Marc Bergevin's favorite
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.
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)
