In hindsight, the problems with Bergevin were obvious from day one. He was very focused on hiring his friends, rather than hiring the best people for the job.

The blind hate on here is crazy.
This is pretty depressing, no one on the farm team or in the minors to help sove scoring problems.
Hudon would help now imo, he's got the smarts and skills.

Exactly, I have no idea why he's roting in the AHL. He had 2 games with the big club and scored 2 points, yet they recall everyone except him.
To all posters who say (and there's a bunch) that all habs problems are because of the "french factor", how do you explain this ?
The fact is they don't know how to properly develop prospects and they have a piss poor player management.
MB is as bad as his predecessors, it just a bad nigthmare over and over again.
Man has Bergevin become a major joke
I said at some point last season that Bergevin created a country club here like in Edmonton except he has the best goalie in the world.
Here we are...
Montreal does the same thing every year. They wait until they're having injury problems before they call guys up. Then they put them in bad situations. Why not have spots for them at the beginning of the season and give them the time? After 10-15 games playing top 6, if they suck, send them down. They barely gave Hudon a chance. Holloway even less. Ellis hasn't gotten any time with the big club. Is our team that good that none of these guys could help? Nope. If you can't trade, you have to rely on your farm. It's very poor player management.
Not surprisingly, Lefebvre also heaped praise on his new assistant coach Nick Carriere. “He’s a young guy, just 35-years-old but he’s got 10 years head coaching experience (in U.S. college), he’s a good person, enthusiastic and he’s fully bilingual. He’s a good fit.”
Despite his dad Larry – Canadiens Assistant General Manager – being an NHL veteran who also spent some time as a coach, Nick Carriere says he doesn’t rely on his dad for hockey tips but views him more as a role model in regards to how he handles himself with others. “My dad is a smart hockey man but for me it’s more about how he treats people and how he develops relationships and how he cares about people and how important that is. I’m a lucky guy to have a dad like him.”
Seeing that this wasn't posted ...

What a happy family.
LOL @ him being fully bilingual as one of his strengths..
This organization..
it probably helps with franco players wouldnt it?

Do the franco players walk around with translators too?
English is the official language of the NHL, and every other north american league not located in Qc.
Well you're going to have to accept that the Habs are a little bit different.
And yet here we are talking about a farm club outside of Quebec.
I find this kind of thinking troublesome. I don't agree with the logic of needing a french speaking head coach for Montreal since it has nothing to do with the team winning and everything to do with public relations, the coach being able to communicate to the French media. An assistant in St. John's being bilingual should have absolutely nothing to do with anything, cause these are not the Montreal Canadiens.
