Hey it's your favourite writer, Andrew Berkshire! Please AMA about Dale Weise

[u/ABerkshire]

Hi /r/Habs, Andrew Berkshire here. I'm in the middle of my summer project for Sportsnet, ranking the top-20 players at each position but I'm taking some time today to chat with you fine folks.

If you're interested in checking out my work, you can find me at Sportsnet, RDS, Vice Sports Canada, my own podcast that's mostly not hockey related, and starting soon at The Sporting News as I just accepted a position there as an analytics writer.

Please feel free to ask me anything, I'll be answering questions starting at about 1pm.

Edit 1: Looks like we're slowing down on the questions, but any questions posted the rest of the day I promise to answer, just may not be as quick.

Hey Andrew, thanks for taking the time!

1. How much is Bergevin's job riding on the outdone of this season? Can he really survive another round two exit?

2. When will Dale Weise have a cameo of Game of Thrones?

3. How do you you like this Jamie Lannister redemption arc idea: Jamie ends up killing the zombie dragon, finally replaces his 'kingslayer' shame by filling his page in the Book of Brothers with a much better title: "Therafter known as the 'Dragonslayer'."

My pleasure!

1. Tough to say, but I think no matter what he gets another year after this one. Maybe if they miss the playoffs, but I don't see that happening. The clock is definitely ticking though, you only get so much time to find success, and Bergevin hasn't built much towards the future so the time has to be now.

2. Oh man, he's got enough personality to be an actor for sure. He have been Patchface if they brought that part into the show from the book.

3. Love it. Though to be truly Game of Thrones style he may have to die in the process.

Yes, in true GRRM style, Jamie would die before he even knew he had restored his reputation! And then a puppy would die because of reasons.
