Do you think Guy Boucher could be the answer there ?
He speaks French and his first year in Tampa the metrics were amazing and they were one win away from the Finals......He also had Ottawa one win away from the Finals even though the metrics weren't the greatest........

Hard to tell, he was a nepo hire so thee isn't really a previous coaching stint to base anything off of.

I think i would give him and Lalonde (Detroit coach) the rest of this year to show they can drastically improve the metrics and if they can't do it i would move on........
I still think he's the right coach to develop our young players, but it certainly feels like he will get the same treatment as Denis Savard when the team will be talented enough to take the next step. The Habs had a weird preseason though, I don't think the numbers from the first two games mean that much

I think Gorton and Hughes have put together a pretty good collection of young players to be honest...

at this point I do not see MSL as a barrier to the habs taking the next step
He wasn't brought in as a Head Coach. He was brought in as a player developer with a Head Coaching title and pay because otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the job given his life circumstances.
And that's ok.
We've been in, and still are, in a rebuild. He has brought along a number of players, and we've seen positive steps from pretty much all the young guys.
When the time is right, a more well rounded coach, who knows systems, will be brought in to bring the team the next step.
At least that's the plan in my opinion, and we all know the saying about plans....

Maybe, but let’s face it, most non-habs fans on the main board want the answer to be no
A defensive corps that's a bunch of early 20s and Mike Matheson with only Savard as a defensive minded veteran is a team that allows lots of grade A chances? Oh my, I'm shocked.
He's good with the kids, that's literally all that matters. If we still suck around 2027 when a window could open we can fire him.

Little unfair to judge MSL when he's had essentially one line and one defensive pair worth talking about practically his whole tenure. This year looks better, especially once Laine comes back, but it really depends on Hutson and Slaf
Yes. Give him a real team and then judge him. Theyre young and headed in the right direction. Too early to judge him IMO.

Sometimes I wonder if we, as a community, put too much blame on Martin St. Louis.
