I think Gallant would be a prime candidate but the fact that he doesn't speak any French is likely why he won't be at the top of the list.
Gallant must speak some French, having spent 3 seasons playing in the Q.
So at what point does Montreal finally fire the GM? Not Claude's fault but he's the scapegoat
not that this is surprising but thought I`d post

You pick the right coach for the job, period, regardless of whether or not they speak French.A question for anyone who might know...
Did Dick Irvin, Toe Blake, or Scotty Bowman speak passable French? They have 16 Stanley Cup championships between them and I’m wondering if they would have qualified as Canadiens coaching material under today’s criteria?
Thoughts...?
why Roy owns the Remparts in QC, doubtful that connection as to why he shot himself out of Montreal would endear a return outside of his retirement ceremony/banner raisingYou pick the right coach for the job, period, regardless of whether or not they speak French.
I was surprised Muller was let go to and he does not speak French.
My guess is Patrick Roy may get a call now?
"Short handed Flyers"
As if the Bruins weren't missing Krejci...Grzelcyk....Miller....Zboril.... Essentially Lauzon too
What he has done lately is turn a very underwhelming Montreal roster in the past 5 years into a bubble team that no one wants to play against.
You do not put Claude at the helm of a young rebuilding team. You put him at the head of a veteran team looking to play better than they are.
Montreal has gone from the latter to the former. So, time to change.
You'd think right, but his french is poor , not good enough for the media which is why they always insist on a French speaking coach

Was thinking the same thing but with also keeping ( play for a tie ) Claude just to keep the Scabs irrelevant for life!Hopefully never so they stay mediocre forever.
They have no one to blame but themselves.I bet the Leafs are happy about that.
