AA is from Montreal, I’m sure he knew something about hockey.it makes sense to me… I openly wanted Geoff to hire AA after he was fired by the Blue Jays

For sure….plus sports asset management is transferrable…. My point is that I didn’t read a single word about the possibility of AA and the Habs because the sports world (and their media mouthpieces) is still largely a conservative, risk averse industry
Thankfully, Hughes is not risk averse, as evident by his hiring of a Pee Wee coach

HOFers have traditional floundered big time as head coaches, let alone being able to articulate an out of the box strategyAn hall of famer pee wee coach.
Not getting that call from the Habs was probably the best thing that ever happened to AA. He’s done oh quite well for himself since leaving the Jays.For sure….plus sports asset management is transferrable….

Toe Blake, Lemaire and Gainey did pretty well however.HOFers have traditional floundered big time as head coaches, let alone being able to articulate an out of the box strategy
The Rocket, Gretzky, Boom Boom couldn’t for their lives articulate a strategy or coaching philosophy during their very limited careers behind the bench
Because unlike the Habs, other teams do not have to hire mediocre francophones to virtue signal. They can simply hire based on merit.Darches a bridesmaid again. Interim GM Davison to be named me Blackhawks GM tomorrow.
I guess it’s possible . . . but I doubt it . . . highly.I predict Gorton / Hughes will be all over Kane if available including this years 1st round (potential top-5 pick)
I think Geoff accepts that . . . regardless of what you hear.This is the kind of thing I wish I was hearing from Gorton and Hughes; an admission that the team needs to be gutted and rebuilt from scratch. Geoff needs to accept that this can't be fixed in 6 months.

He hired a head of hockey ops known primarily for a huge rebuild and then a coach from Bantam AAA. I think he’s accepted the longer road back in exchange for (hopefully) sustainable success.That's just it....I give zero fucks about what Geoff says. Actions speak 1000x louder. The rest is just spin that media outlets dissect in order to get clicks.
As Godin / Basu eloquently put it:He hired a head of hockey ops known primarily for a huge rebuild and then a coach from Bantam AAA. I think he’s accepted the longer road back in exchange for (hopefully) sustainable success.
It’s become blatantly obvious the ownership consortium will not tolerate an extended rebuild - pure lip service by Jr as CH stated aboveWhether you agree with it or not, this was not exactly breaking news. General manager Kent Hughes has been consistent in his messaging that he does not foresee undergoing a traditional rebuild in Montreal, that while he doesn’t expect the Canadiens to be competitive next season, he also doesn’t intend on dragging this out longer than it needs to. He’s been clear the intention is not to have the Canadiens be a player in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes next season.
Have they contacted you? ‘Cuz it’s not obvious to me other an “obvious” surmise by you.It’s become blatantly obvious the ownership consortium will not tolerate an extended rebuild…
