Marc Bergevin to be hired by Islanders (according to David Ettedgui)

For his part, David Ettedgui shared some new information on X today.

And it’s relatively simple: according to what he’s heard, Marc Bergevin will be hired by the Islanders.

As GM… or VP? For now, that element is unknown.

But knowing that he’s going to find a new job in New York is already a big sign. And as Ettedgui mentioned in his tweet, with Bergevin as GM of the Islanders, maybe that’ll put the brakes on discussions between the Habs and the Isles about a possible deal:

If Marc Bergevin is named VP… should we absolutely expect to see Mathieu Darche get the GM job?

The question arises. But I have a feeling it could happen in the context that we’re talking about two Québécois who have a certain reputation in the National League.

It would make a good team, at least.

Bergevin has experience, which would give him a bigger role than in Los Angeles… and Darche has been watching Julien BriseBois go for so many years already.

But what does this mean for Patrick Roy? Will the new guys decide to move forward with him, even if the Islanders had a more average season in 24-25?

We know that a new GM likes to bring his own world with him, after all. And that’s why Patrick Roy may be right to fear for his job right now…

Overtime

– Matthew Knies wants to stay in Toronto.

– I’ll believe it when I see it.

– Oh…

– It’s always an interesting result.
