Marc Bergevin Speaks, Western Predictions, Begin, NHLPA and More

Marc Bergevin - Montreal Canadiens Introduce Michel Therrien As New Head Coach
Hello Hab fans!

After signing Max Pacioretty to a six-year, $27 million extension, Marc Bergevin took the time to address the Montreal media.

Namely, Bergevin was quite evasive when it came to P.K Subban.

RDS reported last month that a two-year, $5.5 million was offered and quickly rejected by Subban's camp. "I don't read," Bergevin answered, "I just go about my business."

Also, Bergevin confirmed that the team had interest in UFA Shane Doan but that the forward never came to visit the organization.
