I have been saying for years that given the language constraints around the head coach that the Canadiens must do a better job of developing internal replacements

http://allhabs.net/fan-focus-my-draft-scenarios-for-the-canadiens/ Is so quiet, I poached this from main page link to boost thread a bit.

What a relief to see that this was finally done - it was only about four years too late but it has finally happened. Now if the rest of the bench staff can be let go, that would be nice.

Apologies to Machine of Loving Grace... in a just world your thread (made first) would have gotten all the replies.

So the next obvious question is who replaces him? It seems like MB has a great opportunity now to put in place an heir apparent for the head coach of the Canadiens. If finding a very good bilingual head coach is such a challenge the smart thing to do would be to hire the best possible, most successful QMJHL coach and install him as our AHL coach, and let him bring in some great assistants also with future potential, and hopefully have people developing and waiting in the wings for whenever the next opportunity arrives for the big club. You would think this should be an obvious direction to go??
