HF Habs: Montreal Canadiens Hockey Ops (Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, etc.)

[Vachon23]

First and only reporter saying such a thing afaik.

Louis Jean never put her on the list of the 11 candidate who where interview, Lebrun/Friedman never said she was a candidate either. We just assume she would be a candidate because they said they would meet women but It was never official that she was a candidate

 

[1909]

I'm okay with Castonguay going elsewhere because personally, I felt like having two former player agents in management would be a bit redundant.

Right. But it's a missed opportunity to get a woman like her.

Maybe she knew already that Canucks were interested by her services and refused any interviews with the Habs.

 

[Gabriel Sagala]

Vin Diesel as Kent Hughes

Kent looks like young actor Guy Jodoin

Renaud said she was a candidate.

Very happy for Émilie!! I'm very curious to know who the Habs hire for assistant GM's now

 

[1909]

Her hockey takes are unimaginative at best.

It is not showing when she is in the media (radio or TV) for sure. But she's got tons of hockey knowledges, nevertheless.

They gonna go with Lecavalier.

 

[MXD]

They gonna go with Lecavalier.

Which one?

 

[Vachon23]

I think she would have choose the Habs before Vancouver, she was big Habs fans

Renaud said she was a candidate.

Did he said she was officially interview or that he thought she was a candidate big difference. Kevin Dubé is really well connected in the QMJHL where most of Castonguay clients where

 

[Adam Michaels]

Right. But it's a missed opportunity to get a woman like her.

I don't doubt her competency or his skill set. I just think they need people with a few different backgrounds that add a different perspective. I'm not sure having two former player agents offers that.

 

[1909]

Which one?

Vincent. The older one is still part of Quartex, the company Hughes created.

 

[Vachon23]

Rob DiMaio would be extremely high on my list for AGM

[Adam Michaels]

I didn't know, but Castonguay interned with the Canadiens in 2011 under after she graduated college........under Pierre Gauthier. After she completed her internship, she went back to school to get her law degree.

Vinny won’t take an AGM job he want to stay in Tampa and having quality time with his family, I see more something like Senior Advisor

Maybe ? But I doubt.

Why? What has he done after his playing career in the last 6 years?

 

[sergejean]

I hope we stay clear from Vinny or this will start to look like another boys club. What are his qualification anyway outside of "former NHL player"?

I mean having his 1200 NHL game experience and many as capitaine, Stanley Cup champion, played in big games (OG/World Cup), have the experience of being a superstar in the NHL could definitely help our staff

 

[frenchcanayan]

Émilie Castonguay adjointe au DG des Canucks

Fair. I'm of the mindset that senior leadership should have more to offer than that though. I'd rather he work his way up the management hierarchy and learn the ropes first before being thrust into the AGM role.

A lot of ex players who don’t want to be GM have that role with an NHL team

 

[MTL-rules]

What do you have against Seauvageau?

Old school mentality... And as a coach, she's been the equivalent of Babcock. Hard ass and borderline cruel.

 

[Vachon23]

An other one who is saying that Castonguay wasn’t in the 11 candidates

 

[1909]

Why? What has he done after his playing career in the last 6 years?

Nothing. But rumours are strong about him being hired by Hughes in some role.
