Karine Hains: Roy Wants to Come Home (Again) Last April, Patrick Roy announced that he now had an agent and would like to get back in the NHL, the timing of the announcement was interesting considering Marc Bergevin found himself in a hot seat back then and now, well, that seat is empty.

Hains: Roy Wants to Come Home (Again)

Last April, Patrick Roy announced that he now had an agent and would like to get back in the NHL, the timing of the announcement was interesting considering Marc Bergevin found himself in a hot seat back then and now, well, that seat is empty.

correct me if I'm wrong Karine, but Roy was the coach in COL, so that's why he wanted more power as Sakic was the GM.
in Mtl he would be the GM so that should be okay, no?

He would but in the proposed set up he wouldnt be the sole captain of the ship, just wondering if that’d be sufficient for him

did you know that the Mariners, the ECHL team Briere builted from scratch is now affiliated to the Rangers, and that he and Gorton probably know each other?
that could change things a bit.

Meaning? Who would you have?

How is Roy not new thinking? He had no link whatsoever with the Bergevin regime and his nhl experience was acquired with the Avs as a bench boss.

Yeah I read that...i’m not sure i like the briere idea tbh... i like Roy’s winning pedigree and what he has meant for the Habs, having him as gm would be a bit like Lemieux saving the Pens. What did Briere do for the Habs besides using them to get a big time raise on the free market and finally playing for them once he was running on empty?

agreed, but that is not the question.
which of the 2 would work better with Gorton, that is the question.
hopefully Molson makes the right decision.

I think both are relevant considerations tbh, but yes how they could work with Gorton is an important factor but it shouldn’t be the only consideration

Gorton drafted Kravtsov 9th overall in 2018, wonder if he'll try and bring him to Montreal.

Roy would be a disaster in Montreal....anyway Gorton is the defacto GM and VP of Hockey Operations..the new GM will be someone who probably speaks French but the control will remain with Gorton..he's been tasked with rebuilding/organizing the mess that Bergevin has left....and probably cleaning house....there's much to trade out....get ready for a huge draft in Montreal in 2022.

Roy is a fresh face as an exec just like the ones you mention. Torts as coach? Please! Not only do they want the coach to be fluent in French but they don’t want his first language to be profanity

We don’t know if he would be a disaster he’s never been a GM in the NhL. And yes i think everyone gets that Gorton will be the head honcho

Naming Roy GM and having another as the head honcho is the recipe for disaster.... Roy is unhinged!

I'll save the time in discussing how dumb the suggestion of Torts is and just say about Roy - do people already forget his time in Colorado and why he hasn't sniffed an opportunity since? Why would Gorton bring in somebody who is a proven hot head and has a history of trying to throw his management team under the bus and usurp their power and authority? Roy has shown who he is, the Habs should believe what was learned league wide the first time

If you are afraid of this you are a poor leader. You win a race with the wild stallion you tamed, not with the docile mule you traded your youngest daughter for.
