- Vigneault's available. Do you fire Claude and hire him? It's not your money.
Can they bring back Mario Tremblay, might as well recycle all the Habs coaches.
You can't just pick french coaches at random. This management has a clear plan: it's Carbonneau next, Martin after and then Vigneault when the 3rd go around starts.
This is true but right now management is stuck in the past so they need a coach the reflects that.Neither, it is time to get younger coaches who will adapt to the newer style of hockey and improve our younger players instead of recycled dinosaurs who are stuck in the past and would rather rely on plugs like Alzner, Benn, Froese and Logan Shaw.
Ducharme MUST be the coach for Laval next year. Let him get his feet wet there as Claude has 4 years left on his contract. Barring him suddenly leading us to .600 hockey next 4 years, Ducharme will be groomed in Laval and step in when Claude leaves. He'll be ~50 at that time, so plenty young.
Succession planning. The team sucks at this. The best way to go is to put staff in the AHL that you can use to replace NHL staff. Players to management, that is how it is done.
