Islanders to meet Marc Bergevin

This isn’t Bergevin’s first interview with the Kings since leaving the Habs. But each time, he’s been preferred to someone else.

Will this be the right time for the man who has been little in the public eye since his dismissal in 2021?

Perhaps seeing the CH, with several of its players, in the playoffs gives him momentum. After all, he’s made some good moves with the Montreal Canadiens in nearly 10 years with the club.

Taking the Habs to the Stanley Cup Final must open doors elsewhere in the league, right?

Remember that in recent weeks, the names of Bergevin and his friend Pat Brisson have been circulating with the Islanders. Would Brisson consider the opportunity, if it arose?

Who knows.

Recall that the Islanders employ Alex Romanov, whom Marc Bergevin likes from his years in Montreal. But in general, this isn’t a team with a good NHL or affiliate pool. Lou Lamoriello didn’t necessarily leave the club in great shape.

Ah, one last thing: if Patrick Roy wants to keep his head coaching job, he’d better hope Bergevin doesn’t get the job.
