There's good chances it will happen I think. Last year when Montreal was in search of a new head coach lots of people reported that Roy would have brought Tourigny as his assistant behind the bench.

Tourigny has also been approached by two AHL teams.

Eric Veilleux has been in talks with the Hershey Bears of the AHL.

Ducharme could go to Quebec City to be closer to home but Bobby Smith and Cam Russell will be talking with him this week to extend his contract.

It seems it's a done deal, can anyone shed some light on him?

 

[TheQNews]

Yes, it's pretty much a done deal that he will be Roy's assistant. Yesterday, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies had called for a press conference this morning however they cancelled it early this morning. I think it's because the Colorado Avalanche would like to announce it first before it's announced by the Huskies.

Here's a quick article I wrote yesterday in regards to what Patrick Roy said after his press conference in Quebec City: http://theqnews.ca/2013/05/29/andre-tourigny-has-made-a-tentative-agreement-with-the-avalanche/

No terms are known at this point.
