yes..I am sure he would jump.
job 1 in MTL... worked so-so
job 2 in Boston..fantastic first 2-3 years, fired a few years latter. His replacement, Cassidy, does pretty well and even though Cassidy got fired, he seems to have rebounded well in Vegas
job 3 a return to Montreal..really did not work out well
Claude Julien is a nice guy. But have things passed him by!!! Is there a risk of coach recycling, all the while shelling out 2-5 million in salary and 1-2 million for assistants.
you can do a similar analysis of Allain Vigneault.. Remember when Robert Hartley was the "petit gas de chez nous" flavor of the month.
this team has to be careful and take the; Jared Bednar, John Cooper, Mike Sullivan approach. A successful minor league coach/assistant coach who comes in and deals with young players. I do not believe that some coach who has been around 10-20 years and working on job 3, 4 or 5 will work.. Yes, I know Sutter in Calgary. He will be fired in a year and will have nothing to show for his stop in Calgary.
