Do they have any top tier goalie prospects we can nab for a mediocre RFA goalie?

I think they made a good hire, JFJ was high up with Boston for 7 years and looks like he did a good job there.

Blackhawks have fired Colliton. Ex-Leaf Derek King gets the interim job.

Imagine if the Fergler becomes Arizona GM and then signs Matthews in 2 1/2 years from now?

Quenneville?s available.  By NHL standards he probably has been punished enough already

I think they get Babcock and Tortorella to "co-coach". They're both known for treating players well.

Speaking of? guess who has a new random redemption puff piece out

Perhaps they're considering folding the team.

Scott Mellanby resigned as MTL AGM yesterday after he was ruled out for further consideration the GM or President positions. MTL looking for a francophone GM.

Of course they are. Their insistence on hiring francophones instead of the best candidates will continue to hold the team back (which I?m okay with).

Has there ever been another NHL team that went to the final only to be a total disaster 5 months later and fire their GM/head scout?

Ah look, the other shoe.

Didn?t even let him finish the term after drafting Mailloux. Head scout and Senior VP of PR as well lol

Montreal pulling the trigger before Vancouver is also hilarious

Edit: damming Molson iced him while he was recovering from COVID

As hilarious as it is, and as correct as we were saying the Habs run was all smoke and mirrors, it's still pathetic that the Leafs lost to this team that had no business being in the series with them.

The Leafs weren't the only team that lost to them.

I think I said it in the run-up to the playoffs: Bergevin built the Canadiens on the tropes of playoff hockey: DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH big boy defense HITTING.

What actually happened was Carey Price got hot, and some of that was thanks to the Leafs giving him a lot of warm-up shots, and also John Tavares getting knocked out early and then the Leafs just taking their foot off the gas completely after 4 games as if they expected a sweep and forget they lost the first game. I do give credit for the style they played: counter punching with rush chances worked for their personnel; they just had to survive onslaughts (hi Carey).

That doesn't make me feel any better.  Leafs were the only team that had them on the brink of elimination (before Tampa) and choked it away. Not once, but 3 times.

That looks like maybe a pretty tough rebuilt there for the habs...lots of long term money, and not much as far as marketable assets to bring a return.

But they have every inch of 5'6" Caufield as their star centerpiece.
