Proposal: Should the Habs bring back Gerard Gallant?

[From The Couch]

He's definitely a great hockey mind. Things didn't quite work out for him this year in Florida. He would strengthen our coaching staff a ton. What are your thoughts on bringing him back to help Therrien, Muller, JJ etc.?

[Leon Lucius Black]

We have Muller, if he wasn't here I'd be interested in Gallant.. but right now we have no use for him.

 

[Rapala]

As the associate's associate?

 

[Bieber fever]

Replace lebfevre with Gallant pls

 

[Richiebottles]

As the associate's associate?

Assistant TO the associate

 

[hersky77]

Yea fire one of JJ or Clement and bring him back. The guys in the room loved him.

 

[llamateizer]

Montreal need to have the permission from Florida to negotiate with Gallant.
What role does he need to fill?

There would have to some changes to bring him back, no doubt

 

[JusticeBeaver]

Montreal need to have the permission from Florida to negotiate with Gallant.
What role does he need to fill?

He was fired yesterday

I feel like he was just the most likable out of all the coaching staff before he left. I can't even remember what he was responsible for.

Fire Sly.

Eh... Didn't they just fire him?
Unless he's still a scout or something...

 

[Rapala]

I'd take him back in a heartbeat if he could tag-team with Muller and force Therrien to "Tap Out".

 

[montreal]

I haven't been paying attention, I know Muller runs the PP but who's in charge of the PK, cause I would fire them and bring in Gallant in a heartbeat if he would accept an assistant coaching job.

 

[MXD]

I see no point in bringing him back for the sake of bringing him back. I mean... he did leave the team, and things didn't went as well as expected for him, because he's not as good a coach as we all made him to be. That was obvious from the start for anyone who slightly followed the guy's career, something people here tend to not do, as they prefer emotive reactions.

But he'd represent a significant upgrade on Sly, I'll give you that.

Gallant is an inferior coach to Therrien. Next?

 

[1909]

A third option: WHY ?

Muller has taken the available place. No need for another guy like him.

He left the team because he got a head coaching position, no one in there right mind one stay on as an associate when the get an head coaching position.

He would be a definite upgrade over both JJ and Clement.

The guys loved him hear.

 

[Gainesvillain]

We already have Muller, so no.

 

[TRG]

How well can he coach defensemen? If he can't, we have no use for him.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Our PK has sucked this year.

 

[Rapala]

Gallant is an inferior coach to Therrien. Next?

Says you and getting it wrong again...

 

[MXD]

Says you and getting it wrong again...

Says you and getting wrong again. Next.

 

[Brainiac]

We'd have to fire someone first. Which is not exactly Bergevin's strength. Seriously, has he ever fired someone since he took over GM duties?

 

[Rapala]

Our PK has sucked this year.

Honestly I've never liked our passive PK.
Even when the numbers seemed good the wheels fell off in the post season.
I often wondered if our PP sucked because our PK was so passive (in practice).

 

[MXD]

Seriously, he'd be a great addition for the Ice Dogs, but there's absolutely NO NEED to hire Gallant in any capacity at the moment, unless he's somehow a D-coach.

 

[teamfirst]

Yea fire one of JJ or Clement and bring him back. The guys in the room loved him.

best scenario would be him replacing Dan Lacroix behind the bench but i doubt that he would accept that, not for now anyway
