Kent Hughes named GM - 5 year deal



That the Habs put this out on their official Twitter account suggests to me that he is coming, probably as an AGM.
 
It would have also been a once in a lifetime opportunity for Lecavalier to play for the Habs when he had the chance back in the Gainey era. Funny how it suddenly wasn't important the minute a trade to Montreal became a real possibility. In fact, the most important thing at that point seemed to be to try and find a way to stop it from happening.

The difference, Vinny can do his AGM Habs gig 70% of the time overlooking the Gulf of Mexico from his virtual home office.
 
According to Hughes, Vinny regretted not wearing the saintly flannel
 
Based on Godin & Basu’s interview w Hughes. There will be no long prolonged rebuild, it’ll be a quick reset (in MB lingo) - the long rebuild will be the orgs approach to amateur scouting & player development

The Canadiens’ path forward: New GM Kent Hughes outlines how the next 8 months could go

Kent Hughes walks us through how the Canadiens could tackle the trade deadline, the draft, free agency and training camp in the fall.

The Canadiens might not be preparing to go through a rebuild in the traditional hockey sense of the word. But they are definitely trying to rebuild something. A sense of pride. A sense of direction. A roadmap to days in the not-too-distant future when they can legitimately aspire to win a Stanley Cup.

Hughes and Gorton have a lot to do between now and then in putting their stamp on this team. But the work — that rebuild — will truly begin when the Canadiens report to training camp next fall.

Hughes is on cheap crack from Ruy Guy

On what video game can you even attempt a quick reset , FFS

2/3 of this roster is absolutely useless moving forward

sounds like nobody wants our shitty players
 
“I wouldn’t rule out (…) a trade that doesn’t involve significant consideration coming back to us,” he said. “In other words, they’re taking a player and a contract, and we’re getting some flexibility with it.”

These knobs have to understand , this isnt the NFL

The draft doesnt give you instant plug and play starters in every round

You cant restructure contracts or dump players where most have no guaranteed contracts

You cant skin the cap 20 ways with creative bonus , salary and other means

Free agency isnt true free agency .....you can`t buy your 1-3C or your entire D in one summer

Team has sucked shit for a decade and now you want a quick rebuild Hughes ....F OFF

Considering we have very average prospects and a garbage NHL team, I am not sure what they are thinking exactly. Maybe they understand they can just keep taking advantage (milking) the fan base and put out a barely playoff caliber team and hope once every couple of decades we can get to the finals. Oh well..
