Seems it was Marty's choice.

100 % and like it should have beenSeems it was Marty's choice.
So what’s Rockstrom’s position now? Has he been demoted?Tommy Lehman promoted! I have been saying I think he's doing a great job vs what we saw before under Rockstrom. Norlinder didn't pan out but at 64th OA that's the kind of pick I want to see the Habs make. Engstrom is going to be an NHLer imo and Heineman could as well plus Eriksson is progressing.
So what’s Rockstrom’s position now? Has he been demoted?
"To start, Roger Grillo has been hired as coach consultant and will join Martin St-Louis’ staff.
Regarding the scouting team, Albie O’Connell has been promoted to Chief North American scout and Tommy Lehman has been promoted to Chief European scout. Additionally, Matt Ryan has been hired as Pro scout.
Lastly, Dale Lablans has been promoted to head of performance, Stéphane Gervais has been hired as strength and conditioning coach, and Mitch Freeburn will replace Gervais in Laval as the Rocket’s strength coach."
Isn't he semi-retired?So what’s Rockstrom’s position now? Has he been demoted?
Good. I wanted him completely gone, but at least it’s a start.Demoted to Euro scout
No way to know since they don't make the draft choices and the guys who did based their decision on biceps size.Good. I wanted him completely gone, but at least it’s a start.
I said it for years that our European scouting was s**t
(I also said our entire scouting was s***t regardless where, but I digress)
This is fantastic news IMO.- Roger Grillo hired as a coaching consultant.
So what’s Rockstrom’s position now? Has he been demoted?
Grillo coach St Louis in Vermont as Associate coach and is was with USA hockey
Just noticed Tim Thomas was also on those teams as well. Pretty crazy considering both him and MSL both broke out at later ages and managed to have excellent careers.Grillo coach St Louis in Vermont as Associate coach and is was with USA hockey
On Canadiens website yesterday they announced several front office changes.
Roger Grillo joins Marty's staff as coaching consultant. Must be his familiarity from Marty's Vermont days.
Albie O'Connell is now chief North American scout. I imagine Gorton and Hughes familiar with him from Boston days.
Tommy Lehman is now Chief European Scout. I don't know much about him.
Matt Ryan been hired as pro-scout. Former LA King all I know
I never researched them. I remember O'Connell from watching Beanpot. Ryan of course from NHL days.Lehman is our Swedish scout. He's been doing a good job with nothing but late round picks to work with. Good promotion IMO
Awesome I've lost my concern about wasted time in camp.
45 minute video. Watched about 10 minutes and he's good.
Thaanks for this. I watched the video and loved this guy. I can see his influence on Marty and how he runs the team and specifically practice. He even talks about some concepts he discussed with MSL in the video. This guy fits perfectly into everything we do.

Posters here should take time and sign up to Live Barn to watch Mid Fairfield elite team play, they’ve won last 2 Quebec Pee Wee tourney's, 3 finals in a row and are the most dominant at that level of play in the world - using a system MSL & Grillo developed & continued to tweak about 10-years ago. Their practices are 90% based on edgework & thinking the game “2-plays ahead”

Totally can see this. Not surprised to hear you say that MSL and Grillo have been developing this for over ten years. Grillo's 45 min video is a must if you want to understand MSL coaching methodology , very interesting.Posters here should take time and sign up to Live Barn to watch Mid Fairfield elite team play, they’ve won last 2 Quebec Pee Wee tourney's, 3 finals in a row and are the most dominant at that level of play and n the world - using a system MSL & Grillo developed & continued to tweak about 10-years ago.

Before someone asks: Most of those Pee Wee players end up leaving for USNTDP and other prep schools (Shattuck St Mary’s, Mount St Charles etc.) which is why their Bantam & Midget programs are left without top end players
Which is why I expect to see MSL hockey for the first time this coming season w Hutson steering the shipTotally can see this.

My son played against Mason many times. He’s just okay. But Marty was always very friendly and was happy to talk to parents in awe of him.Posters here should take time and sign up to Live Barn to watch Mid Fairfield elite team play, they’ve won last 2 Quebec Pee Wee tourney's, 3 finals in a row and are the most dominant at that level of play in the world - using a system MSL & Grillo developed & continued to tweak about 10-years ago.

I don’t think the media had a problem with it. I don’t even know if Molson had a problem with it. He just seemed to be okay with MB running (ruining) the show.What always annoyed me is how they constantly tried to blame it on the fans, that "the fans in Montréal wouldn't accept a rebuild" when it was obvious ownership and the media were the ones who truly had a problem with it.
