At the present time, you would probably be hard pressed to find anyone who says the strength of the Habs’ roster right now is their blueline, there are just too many question marks.
Earlier in this series, I lamented the lack of the depth on the left wing in all facets of the Habs’ organization.
On Friday, the Habs added to their NHL coaching staff, announcing the hirings of Gerard Gallant and Clement Jodoin as assistant coaches to Michel Therrien.
The most discussed area up front for Montreal is the centre position. Talent wise most feel the depth is there, it’s just the size (or lack thereof) that’s a concern.
For the fifth straight season, there will be a new bench boss behind the bench of the Hamilton Bulldogs.
For years, the Habs have lacked a go-to scorer at left wing. Max Pacioretty took several strides forward in 2011-12 with a 33-goal campaign but the depth behind him isn’t anything to get excited about.
The re-hiring of Michel Therrien as head coach came as a surprise to many even though he had long been speculated to be a finalist for the position.
Just one day after being hired, Michel Therrien’s reconstruction of the coaching staff has begun.
With the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and free agency both less than a month away, new GM Marc Bergevin has a lot to ponder.
