Every team is hiring friends and friends of friends.

If true? We enjoy and exta layer of nepotism/bias based on language.

And that is why this organization is in a good direction. We hired competence, and went from worst coach ever to a very good upcoming one

Nepotism, french, bla bla bla.

Another thing is that Bouchard has McCarron and Audette playing their best hockey since turning pro.

I am very impressed with the defensive structure they have shown since day 1. Total 180 from last year, granted getting the D's from the NHL clearly makes things easier but even when they were steady rolling 3 rookies a night of the 6 blueliners and still playing very sound defensive hockey, being the top team in the league in shots against. He has done a hell of a job so far imo.
