Hopefully he is coming in to replace Sly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Justin Molson finally woke up and was like, "Uh George I'm hiring a successful Q guy to see if you're not breaking all your toys." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nice. A good hockey guy to add to the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the news that they are looking at him is a good development. If they dont get bouchard, they could move to other targets like Ducharme. Heck Bouchard taking Carriere's role and Ducharme taking slys might be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Honestly looking at the team Bouchard had, how did he even manage a great record like that? Doesn’t seem to have any huge talents which suggests some top notch coaching for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gm bouchard built a stronger roster than it appears if you are just looking at nhl prospects. Coach bouchard also did a good job with that club. Its both.

Trizzak Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Gotta have a backup in place if Lefebvre gets an assistant coaching job in the NHL, like he tried to get last summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 And it only took six years of failure for them to consider moving on Lefebvre! The 35-year- rebuild is going like clockwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 35-year- rebuild is going like clockwork. I wouldn't necessarily think this is to replace Lefebvre. For starters, I could see Lefebvre replacing Daigneault if they decide to 'shake up' the NHL staff. If this is true, it's also no guarantee that Bouchard is coming to coach - he could be named GM as well given his background. I've wanted Bouchard as a coach for a couple of years now so hopefully, this winds up happening with Lefebvre heading out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would cry tears over Daignault either, but Lefebvre's track record of failure is a whole other level. Whatever happens, it's good that the Habs are pulling in quality bilingual talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
