Canes easily pass on that.

Allright thanks guys, i'll work on another trade fr him.

I won't comment on the trades, but just about the coach. I do not think Bergevin will fire Julien yet, but if they continue to slump there is a strong possibility of it happening. I do sincerely like Gerard Gallant. However, I would not necessarily be angry about Dominique Ducharme (though he's inexperienced at the NHL level), and I also think that anyone who's payed attention to the Canadiens probably adores Joël Bouchard. I am not saying that he would get the position this early, but he's done a marvelous job in Laval.

If they stick to the mantra of hiring someone that is bilingual (I am not going to talk about the rights and wrongs of doing that, just that it's historically how it's done in Montreal), other candidates could include André Tourigny, Patrick Roy, Mike Babcock, and Guy Boucher. If being bilingual is not a requirement, I could see Karl Taylor or Jim Montgomery get a look, and obviously Scott Sandelin would probably get a look too (though he'd may not budge from his position at Minnesota Duluth).

Replacing a coach during a season in which quarantine is a thing will be very limited options.

I agree on a lot of things with you but Jim Montgomery is bilingual. He's able to speak french and could be a solid candidate. id love gerard gallant but he doesn't speak french (i know his name indicates the opposite haha). For myself i dont care which language the coach is talking as long as we win but i could understand why people cares about that. Also Bouchard is really good with developpement and this is why i want him In the AHL to developp kids. I think he would be better for the organization if he stays in laval rather than going in the nhl which is a performance league. But

I don’t know why Buffalo would do this, we would probably prefer to get pick + prospect.
