The rumor mill is simply trying to find all the Francophones with links to Gorton at his stops w NYR or Boston - hence Briere & DoreThey're also speculating that Daniel Doré would be Gorton's choice for head of amateur scouting.
His call to fame is drafting Bergeron in 2003 when he was in Bawstun, but hasn't really had much of an impact in New York. In the 14 years there, he's only gotten 3 NHL regulars from the Q (One with the first overall pick). I know it doesn't paint a full picture, but it's the only information available to us.
Yeah, who here expected Geoff to actually hire the most qualified person available to run this team? Not me. I’m actually shocked.Seravalli: With Gorton, Canadiens may flip traditional front office power structure
The tradition-laden Habs may be bucking tradition in structuring its front office in a way the NHL has never seen...www.dailyfaceoff.com
Can’t wait to hear what Reggie Tremblay has to say about the impact this hiring will have on the little guy from Sorel who won’t get his chance in the future due to traumaYeah, who here expected Geoff to actually hire the most qualified person available to run this team? Not me. I’m actually shocked.
Pro scout can only stay it he disagreed with the savard signing lol
You and me both bro. This is actually tantalizing to see. I really hope they don't fuck it up.Yeah, who here expected Geoff to actually hire the most qualified person available to run this team? Not me. I’m actually shocked.
I would hope so.The rumor mill is simply trying to find all the Francophones with links to Gorton at his stops w NYR or Boston - hence Briere & Dore
I expect GM will be either Darche or Madden Jr, and Timmins replacement will be Chris Morehouse (NYR head of North American scouting - played in the Q w Moncton and is from New Brunswick). Regarded as a young up & comer
I also sense the Habs are moving towards more formally educated (college / University grads) management staff and not just jocks done good for themselves like MB and others rumored who are simply of the same ilk (Quintal, Damphousse etc.)

I don’t whatsoever see the ownership consortium allow a full strip down & rebuild. I expect using this season as a retool with some key deals (Chiarot + perhaps Toffoli and one or two others) and using next summer for UFA / trades to bolster team towards playoffs next seasonGreat move if the mandate is to fix it the right way
If Gorton is forced to keep patching .... might as well fire him now
I don't think so either, unfortunately.I don’t whatsoever see the ownership consortium allow a full strip down & rebuild.
