Montgomery for assistant is a silly idea. You don't undermine your head coach with galaxy brain moves like that.

Either fire MSL and offer Montgomery a head coaching job, or allow Marty to coach the team out of the current troubles.

You can quietly communicate to Montgomery that the job might be open in the summer and he'll be the first choice if we decide to part with MSL by that time.
Why do posters keep overlooking MSL has an Assistant / Associate experienced coach he personally brought on board this summer - one who is renowned in the industry for his tactical Xs & Os?

Roger Grillo…

Just because he’s not on the bench don’t assume he isn’t paying attention to details of every shift during a game … there’s this innovation called technology which allows it

Gorton & Hughes have made it quite clear in words & action they are going to be innovative in all aspects from traditional hockey ops… that aspect is being overlooked by many who only look through the prism of how traditional Habs hockey ops has functioned, since Frank Selke Sr’s innovative approach to the NHL back in 1947 upon taking command of the Habs org

You seriously Believe Montgomery is just going to wait for the Habs to call him this summer? A coach of his quality will find work very soon.

Nashville would be foolish to not entertain the possibility of switching their coach to Montgomery

I remember that moment at that draft like yesterday. Everyone thought the Broons blew it the very moment they skipped over Barzal, Connor and Chabot.​
Boston could have been a powerful team like Tampa Bay....

Add Anaheim and Pittsburgh. He is going to find work very soon. I don't see him being available in the summer.

I think we go for the cup after the long break this week . Marty and the boys have some time to get studious

maybe they can remind Slaf and the rest of the kids what a goal looks like, show them some video

I take it Habs are not getting Montgomery... I mean why would they... Le sigh.

too much experience, we only hire inexperienced guys with huge egos.

Not a chance…. Cronin is Verbeek’s guy and one of Dubas’ conditions on being named GM was Sullivan stays his contract, it was reported again this week, ownership & Crosby love him
