This MAJOR move in Montreal won’t take place unless…

Looking at the Montreal Canadiens' season, it is understandable if you get motion sickness. The Habs have been on a roller-coaster ride since the start of the campaign, and have now in the midst of yet another losing streak, having dropped three straight before tonight's matchup against the New Jersey Devils. 

Now since the first losing streak and Carey Price's woes, fans have been asking for the firing of general manager Marc Bergevin. However, the team's ownership has always come to his defense and NHL insider Bob McKenzie does not believe this major move will be done in Montreal, unless there is an absoulute disaster.

“My perspective is that absent the team just losing the rest of the games for the season type of thing and just getting to an untenable situation – absent that, I wouldn’t anticipate that there would be any sort of in-season changes, and that everything would be evaluated at the end of the season,” McKenzie told Montreal's TSN Radio 690. “So I really think that’s where it’s at. I know it’s fashionable - and listen - fans, media, whatever, they’re all entitled to analyze and espouse whatever it is that they’re thinking. But I’d be really surprised."

Bergevin, who has been with the Habs since 2012, has seen his club reached the postseason in four of his five seasons. However, with the blockbuster trades in the past two years, the decision of not re-signing key players like Andrei Markov and the contract issues with Alexander Radulov, fans now have less patience. 

“But again, I’ve got to qualify that by I don’t know what’s going to happen here for the rest of the season. So how many games do they have left? 50-someodd games left? If they lose 49 of them, then somewhere along the line something could give.

“But if they continue to be a fair-to-middling team in a really fair-to-middling division that has a chance, if it gets on a roll, to contend for a playoff spot – I’m not anticipating a regime change in the middle of the season.”
