Here's Arpon Basu of the Atheltic Inside info on Bergevin's vacation:
«Marc Bergevin says he was going to go on vacation last week. The offer sheet to Jesperi Kotkaniemi forced him to cancel.»
Somewhere, Tom Dundon must be doubly pleased with this information.»
This made us laugh out loud. Bergevin didn't look too happy in his press conference today.
Here are other points said in the interview:
"That's an outrageous $6.1 million for one year for a player at this stage of his development."
"I've made calls all over the NHL to fill that hole and to make sure we replace Kotkaniemi."
"We're ready to start the season with that centre line there."
"Would we have liked to keep Kotkaniemi? Yes, we would have liked to keep him. Would we have liked to keep him at 6.1 million? No, especially not knowing that we were able to get our hands on a Dvorak. No hockey guy in the league is going to tell you that's a reasonable contract for a young player at this point in his development."
