Oh man... I hope it wasn't only for HC. I'd love to have him back in the fold.

Only thing is gallant is a forward/pp coach like muller.

News Breaker
For whatever it's worth, Gallant was in Montreal on Super Bowl weekend. My dad said he was talking to him at a restaurant and Gerard told him he had something in the works (but of course didn't say where or what). Speculate away.
(This was before Julien was fired in Boston.)

2.5, rumor is he got almost same contract as AV, 4 millions per year/ 4-5 years deal.
Babcock contract set the bar high for any decent coach.

Is Muller close to being named LVs coach - Gallant as replacement perhaps?

In Boston, Julien was criticized for being Therrien like.
Take a risk to make a play.
Throw caution to the wind.
And if that doesn’t sound like Claude Julien, well, that’s probably the point.
“I’d rather see – we’re going to err on the side of hopefully aggression, playing on our toes early on here and then, you know, we’re going to have to dial it back in,” Cassidy told reporters after last night’s 6-3 win over the Sharks, his first game as interim coach.
“The day will come when we pay the price for that aggression and we’ll see from there when we find that happy medium. Tonight it worked out for us. I liked that our D were up and assertive in the neutral zone, killing plays, and trying to make quick-ups. Some nights it’s going to bite you so you have to find that balance, but we do want to play this way. We’ve said that for the last two days. We want to play on our toes and be a little more assertive in our overall game and see where it goes.”
It’s all part of Cassidy’s opportunity to put his “imprint” on the Bruins. That was the word GM Don Sweeney used Tuesday after firing Julien, who’d been on the job since 2007.
For all that Julien accomplished during his Boston tenure, including a Stanley Cup victory in 2011, he did have his share of critics. Mostly, they said he was too conservative, too defensive-minded, too unforgiving of mistakes that led to goals against — especially if the mistakes were made by youngsters.
