Yet, its Bergevin making such a statement public thru the media?
As somebody who watched Kenny Williams routinely put players on a pedestal thru the media to increase their value, I would say this is nothing but being the proverbial barker to increase value. KW was a master of it. It remains to be seen if Bergevin has those skills, but from the looks of it, he doesnt.

By stating Ellers value is nothing more then draft picks and isnt as valuble to an elite team like the Hawks over an excellent role player in Kruger? Sorry, thats my opinion. I would much rather have a player who knows his role and has actually performed it to such a high level that the Hawks PK is among the leagues best instead of hoping a player who was a main cog in trading away an excellent goalie in Halak turns out into something other then a bottom six guy. Sorry, Ill take the guy who is entrenched into his role over rolling the dice on potential that just might not come to fruition.

That says more about the Habs then it does Kruger, and this is coming from somebody who cannot stand Kruger and would like nothing better then somebody else to come along and replace him.
Eller sure isnt that person, just sayin.
