Wasn't a 4th liner,who was this ya think?
You think he's the only one?
Prominent players staying away due to our coach,bodes how well for us?
Might be a ho hum ,if it was Joe 4th liner.



And Dave Stubbs in The Gazette recognized, “Therrien has fans and detractors in equal numbers, quite possibly more of the latter.” He added, “One prominent unrestricted free agent I’ve spoken with since regular-season’s end could be a nice fit in Montreal at a decent price and would fill a Habs need. But then I floated the name of Therrien among potential Canadiens coaches, a suggestion that drew 30 seconds of stone-cold silence. Finally: ‘If that happens,’ he said, ‘I’ve got 29 teams I can play for.’”

It has to be a player he coached

Mike Ribeiro

He was almost a bust under Therrein before breaking out when he got fired.

He would have been a huge upgrade over DD. (Lecavalier too)

Ribs ? Don't think he was UFA before 2013.
Was Souray an UFA ? Wouldn't make much sense.

Gill and prominent just don't fit.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a player who played for him.

You're right my mistake. In that case there were zero prominent UFAs that filled a need and would know Therrien as a coach.

Wasnt Ribs traded for Eakin in 2012-2013 off season? That would mean he wasn't an UFA...

I like my Souray suggestion. But considering Souray blossomed with Therrien... Dunno.

It doesn't have to be a guy formerly coached by Therrien. Hearsay evidence...
