Arpon Basu of The Athletic: As the trade deadline approaches, Marc Bergevin’s limits seem to get less clear. Montreal’s window has shortened and the long-term has become the short-term. General managers telling the truth is like Pinocchio. Bergevin’s most truthful statement is below.
“If the opportunity presents itself to go out and get something that I’m convinced will help the team, I’ll look at it. I never said I won’t do anything. But everyone’s always wanted – the fans and you, the media – that we spend right to the cap, and that’s what we did for all the right reasons.
