Vincent Lecavalier takes up more and more space internally

He was the one who recommended Tanner Pearson to Kent Hughes…

He carried weight at the last trade deadline…

He was spotted at several U18/U20international competitions…

In short, he’s acting more and more like an assistant to the GM, without actually having that official title.

Let’s not forget that, before being named advisor, Vincent Lecavalier was rumoured to be about to be named assistant to the GM…

And according to my sources, the Habs fired the employee responsible for the leak. Will Vincent Lecavalier ever become one for real?

Stu Cowan mentioned just a few days ago that we’d have to keep an eye on Vincent Lecavalier’s future role with the Habs. Some people have suggested that he could be named assistant not to Kent Hughes, but to Martin St-Louis, a speculation that hasn’t gained much traction however, not least because Lecavalier would have to be away from his family for several months if he were to take on such a job.

I still think Alex Burrows should be replaced by someone with experience…

Lecavalier is more likely to be named assistant to Kent Hughes… and one day aspire to become GM himself under a hockey operations president he knows well. Or the other way around…

Overtime

– Everyone at the Stade on Saturday for the Canadian derby!

– Mathieu Choinière and CF MTL could be settled next winter.

– Montreal CF Rebrand: if he had it to do over again, Justin Kingsley would do the same thing. He even calls it one of the most successful marketing campaigns in Canadian history.
