Candidates for defensemen coach

[Habaneros]

That's refreshing and surprising to hear he wants the best candidate possible regardless of language. Is he allowed to actually say that out loud?

head coaches...no way..lol

A great D-Man who knows how to play D and who could coach. We would be lucky to snag Big Bird, he's no Breezeby.

Wonder what cube is doing...it’s time

 

[Steve Shutt]

Dave Tippett ?

 

[Kimota]

Francis Bouillon, of course.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Yeah it's not like he's coached any decent d-men recently

Unless you include Burns and Vlasic

He was also around Niedermayer more than probably any other coach during his career but what would he know about PMDs that can join the rush

Well there was also that one time that he was one for about 15 years

Cups as a player, Assistant Coach and Head Coach

If he passes the senility test that's good enough for me

 

[Genesis76]

I hear Jean Jacques Daigneault is looking for a job

Hell be looking for awhile.

Sucking on Michels toes?

Just a suggestion?

 

[Forum93]

Francis Bouillon, of course.

Nah, Julien said he will pick the best coach possible regardless of language spoken, that disqualifies the Cube. You believe him don't ya?

Busy being our Player Development Coach.

Nah he is done, he was a healthy scratch for one of the worst teams in the league. Then again he might fit right in...lol

He is now in St. Louis as Senior Consultant to Hockey Operations, but you can bet he talks to the likes of Pietrangelo and Parayko and Dunn, who benefit from his expertise. This is what I want Robinson in Montreal for. I don't need him to be the defense coach, I just want him within the organization. He's openly admitted to wanting to be here before he retires.

Montreal always picks off the scraps heap in Buffalo....lol

Crazy as this sounds, Gorges would be an upgrade on our dfense...I don't think he is done , just Buffalo syndrome...I would take him back for league minimum money... one thing we all know his heart is with Montreal.Only reason we got rid of him he made too much $$ for what he was...he had that one good season(offense) and got a pay day for it .....750,000-850,000 k for 1 year ,I would try it out.

 

[De Montreal]

Hopefully not Alexandre Picard

 

[Habaneros]

Hopefully not Alexandre Picard

I think we can all breath easy....

Didn't Julien say the candidate would be a ex NHL dman with NHL coaching experience??

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hint, hint?

 

[Lshap]

Robinson really should be brought back into the fold. And this Kitchen dude sounds like the best candidate.

I'm convinced the vast majority of Quebecois are much better than these petty issues.

 

[Steve Shutt]

Loved Desjardins as a player - has he coached since retiring from the Flyers?

Robinson's in his mid-60s -- older but not old. Brains, experience, credibility, the guy's got it all. It's shameful Bergevin dropped the ball with him the first time around. If he's interested and motivated I can't imagine anyone better.
