It's more that the playoffs let Bergevin see what KK and Suzuki are capable of I think
It's called gassing more confidence in those players to pull the trigger. Not a difficult concept.
The COVID break was a mini offseason for Nick and KK... valuable regroup time during a steep part of their career learning curve.
The GM needed to have the confidence. Wow you're just not getting this are ya?If both needed a play in for confidence , we got the wrong players
You need to slow down man. More deals? Addict.Took a quick stab at the lineup:
Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Armia-KK-Toffoli
Byron-Evans-Lekhonen
Belzile
Chiarot-Weber
Edmundson-Petry
Romanov-Vatanen
Mete
Price
Allen
- Carry 22-man roster (vs 23)
- UFA: Sami Vatanen 1-year / $1M (3rd pair RD / 1st pair PP QB)
- Trade Kulak for a pick
Cap hit: $80,641,309 (cap space: $858K)
Didn’t have the heart to trade “Paulie”Bergy wants more than 800k of space for midseason adjustments

@GEEMAN sure, my point is that Bergevin got to see this progression BEFORE making his latest off season moves

Please don't use that term. I know older guys here grew up on the term and it was generally acceptable back then but times have changed and you should at least try to expand your vocabulary.GM is retarded
