Confirmed with Link: Rick Dudley Leaves Canadiens to Join Carolina Hurricanes

[David Suzuki]

Hes an idiot thats why. He tries to dress well because he has 0 IQ.

Sometimes I do really wonder who you people are. Who cares how he dresses?

 

[Rockomax]

Are you sure about that? Dudley was the one who found Marty St Louis and I heard from some other people he was the one who found Byron.

I haven't heard or seen that, but congrats to him if he did bring in Byron. Oh and I read that he was responsible for the Tyler Biggs selection in the 1st round of 2011 by Toronto.

 

[Habs]

I mean if you could predict NHL players in Pewee on a regular basis you'd be in the HoF

stupid restraining orders.

I don't pretend to know much about Dudley but he seems like a hockey lifer. Why wouldn't he be considered a valuable part of an organization? Not everyone needs to be a fresh face, every organization should have a myriad of different opinions. He has a ton of experience at every level of hockey management.

I would rather Dudley personally than having a guy like Lapointe. What has he done to merit being near the top of the organization?

This is probably Dudley seeing the writing on the wall in MTL. Bergevin is in a tough spot and any hiccups next year by the team and he is probably gone.

One of the dinosaurs is gone, and people are crying. Come on. It's another step in the right direction. Not the last step, I hope.

 

[Et le But]

I wonder how involved Dudley was in the Subban trade? It had to be dinosaur thinking, no new age hockey mind would make that trade. Hell, the analytics guy was so against it he quit after.

Unfortunately, it sounds like Savard was too.

Drain the Habs swamp!

 

[Runner77]

Dudley's come a long way ...

 

[Habaneros]

If ya look around the NHL , teams like Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh don't have a "senior vice president of hockey ops"...

The Blackhawks do - Al MacIsaac

Vegas has one !

 

[Habaneros]

Vegas has one !

lol..makes ya wonder...maybe they are not filling the position for a reason...why put a new guy in there for a 3-4 year contract, when Bergy could be fired within 1 year....maybe that's the thinking here.....If there is a new GM he'll hire his own guy etc...not get stuck with Bergevin's old guy etc...

 

[Vachon23]

if we have chance, Dudley gonna bring Churla with him in Carolina !

 

[Genesis76]

Sometimes I do really wonder who you people are. Who cares how he dresses?

Because no one really understands how dressing well will get us a true #1 center.

Unless MB is trying to seduce the other GMs hes in the wrong business.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Does anyone know what Dudley did with the Habs exactly?

I mean other than his title?

 

[Vachon23]

Bring Churla PLZ PLZ

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Hopefully it's a managerial position if he is hired, wash some of the stink surrounding Bergevin and grooming him to be the eventual replacement.

 

[justafan22]

Makes sense with MB in charge, the weight room means everything!

At first I was going to ask why the hell Rick Dudley is having a press conference - but now I just wanna know why he's talking about how much he can bench press lol

Montreal media with hard hitting questions again I guess lol (or is this Carolina media - why the hell is Rick Dudley having a press conference!!! lol)

 

[montreal]

Hopefully MB can work out a trade with the Canes, move up to 2nd for the 3rd and something. Dudley will know our players and prospects, maybe he likes someone enough to push the Canes to get him. One can hope.

 

[Belial]

Not on the hot seat?? You live in denial don’t you
Guess you missed the presser where Molson Interjected the whole time
No playoffs, bergy done

The reason Bergy is not on the hot seat is cuz Molson agreed with all those moves he made!

 

[SquiddFX]

Waddel and Dudley the architects of the Atlanta Trashers.

[Pacciosoftie]
