Bergevin is entering his seventh season as a member of Blackhawks. The Montreal native spent the last two seasons as Chicago's Director of Player Personnel. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach on Joel Quenneville's staff during the 2008-09 campaign and spent three years on the Blackhawks scouting staff including as Director of Pro Scouting during the 2007-08 season.

Bergevin was originally drafted by the Blackhawks in the third round (No. 58) of the 1983 Entry Draft. In his 20-year NHL career, the defenseman recorded 181 points (36 goals, 145 assists) in 1,191 games. Bergevin also skated in 80 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests with five different teams, recording 3 goals, 9 points and 52 penalty minutes.

I don't think there's a fair reason to dump him, yet.

I am all for having Stan around, I do believe we got a cup right? the salary cap makes it pretty tough to have the same team win it every year, and I think we are still set up with a bright future. no point in even having this conversation... congrats to the guys and their promotions tho

It was the Bowman's who pulled the Hossa over Havlat transition. It's unsure who's ideas were most considered with the Kopecky and Madden signings but its unlikely to have been without serious Bowman input. It's true apart from that the only factor he officially made was trading Cam Barker off the team and signing Nick Boyton.

Even with those few successful moves along with getting Leddy for that trade, they are not gonna make any shifts away from empowering Stan.
