My feeling is that the habs wants him back but may have let him entertain a few other options first before resigning him.Or maybe, if Houle was in the plans, he’d have a contract by now? Who really knows.

Or they are waiting to meet with someone at the memorial cupHopefully it's the opposite and he wants to come back but the habs are entertaining few other options first. I really don't want Houle back.
Would like to bring Sylvain Favreau to replace him
The guy from the Q champions right? I guess he's pretty hot right now, that would make sense.
Reading a last month rds.ca article (in French) on Favreau, he sound like another MSL in how he approach his players (and life).
Pretty good junior coach. Lost in final last year with Halifax. Won in final this year with Dummond. Two finals in two consecutive years with two different teams is always a good sign to me. Speak english and french very well. Speak more like a career coach than an ex player. He's a dicipline (on and off the ice) and accountability guy. Strong focus on playing hard etc ... Doesn't seem to have problems working with European players like Komarov or finese players like Dumais.@Vachon23 thoughts on Favreau?
Awsome coach ! He out coach massively every coach he face in the playoffs (expect maybe Gilles Bouchard) and overachieve last year with Halifax losing in the final@Vachon23 thoughts on Favreau?
Extremely calm too behind the bench. Never panickingIf Sly Favreau wins the Memorial Cup lots of other teams will be interested in his services. He was a very good coach & assistant IMHO.
He preached pace & fitness, nice fit with all the youth coming into the Rocket lineup.
The communicator part plus is a great attribute however, the rest of the description you gave has more to do with how he manages a bench. Essential quality but not the whole job.Awsome coach !

I’ve spoke with people on the Voltigeurs organization I know after they beat us (Tigres) and he’s great communicator, every players has a role and they know it, players loves him and want to go to war for him. His offensive players had a lot of liberty and they are in the best offensive team of the league. Everyone knows in Drummund that it’s a question of time before he turn pro
Every player is gonna know what are the expectations/role and what they need to do to get better and have more ice time. He’s your typical modern coachThe communicator part plus is a great attribute however, the rest of the description you gave has more to do with how he manages a bench.

How is he from a player development standpoint?
Also, there seems to be speculation that Paul Byron may come in as assistant coach.
The delay in making a decision would appear to stem from waiting for Favreau to complete his quest for the Memorial Cup.
I believe this has legs. It shouldn’t have taken all this time if they were really committed to bringing back Houle. However, nothing official yet.

Another guy from the Ottawa area. I wonder if they're familiar with each other, they must have crossed paths before.The communicator part plus is a great attribute however, the rest of the description you gave has more to do with how he manages a bench. Essential quality but not the whole job.

Houle - i think he did great when it came to get guys ready to fit in MSL's system when they were called up.
Then he didnt make the playoffs and had a bad end of the season. How much of that is because his best assets were with the habs? who knows. I was definitely expecting playoff time in the minors though.
I dont know? Not super excited, but if he gets resigned i wont be mad. I like him much better than lefebvre, but less than Bouchard.
