Waite is not the Attitude coach
I heard he was a decent masseur.

All fine. But they just never better have given him or anybody a 5-year extension. You cannot handcuff yourselves in making a move. At best, you go 3 years at a time.
BTW, is Lindgren signed on a one way deal next season?
yes, 3 years 1 way. Next year he can play in the AHL without having to clear waivers (unless he appears in 43 games) and then the following season he would need to clear.
I don't think an assistant coach makes enough that it would handicap them really.
Not sure how I feel about this. It's not like Price has been gangbusters recently. And if it's 5 years, one more reason for wanting MB to get fired.
I would wager that Waite is Price's "hire" more than Bergevin's. If Price likes him and wants to keep him around then he stays. Bergevin knows that his best chance of remaining employed is to keep his meal ticket healthy and happy.I'm good with 5 years. I would have been satisfied with any extension really as he is one of the few in the hockey ops department I think is the right guy for the job.

- JJD & Lacroix fired
- Ducharme hired
- Waite re-signed
It's such a weird feeling to see the Habs make 3 moves on the same day that don't make people face-palm.
