[A] Bergevin named GM of Canadiens

[R K]

Friedman is now suggesting Q may very well be on the move to Montreal as well. Q and Bergevin are very good friends, IE part of the reason Q came here to begin with.



Would allow the Hawks to avoid much press if they ever had intention of firing Q, in that he "left" for Montreal.



Wonder if Haviland would get the nod, which I for one wouldn't mind.

This thread is going to be the only thread going all offseason... don't stop now.

Havi!

The question is, how is Quenneville's French?

That's interesting. Probably best for all sides. Q has to go. Not because I think he is a bad coach (I, unlike many, believe he is an exceptional coach) but for the sakes of this team not having split politics next season and knowing Bowmans not going anywhere there has to be a head. It has to be Q.... out of default. He would do well in montreal and is the type of coach needed there.



Bergevin/Dudley/Q (if this were the case)...that's an incredible start to rebuilding the front office and bench in Montreal. And it's different for Montreal..something else they desperatly need.



Havi deserves a shot also as head coach. But not sure if he will play the political struggle game well either.

 

[klemmer]

that will be a great team. Bergy and Duds. Burkie can't be too happy. LOL

I don't think a lot of long time Hawk fans like myself are very happy either..

I think we are all in the same boat, that said, this team will be competitive for a while... I just don't think they will win another Cup with the current team of management.

 

[fanof19]

If Haviland becomes head coach, I will expect that he is merely a front for Scotty, who will really be coaching. that's just my personal opinion....and that McDonough sucks

 

[roshinaya]

With all the hockey people leaving the Hawks, why not also Q. Then all that's left are McD yes-men and the downward spiral may commence in full speed. This team is going to be mediocre until Toews and Kane leave, then it will just suck.

 

[CLWolf81]

The question is, how is Quenneville's French?

I would assume that he's got some potential in the French department. He was an assistant coach with the Nordiques at one point, and there isn't a place at the moment that is worse than Montreal where French is an important language.... .

Our two camps "The best kept secret"? Really? You'd think that it would be huge news by now.

Hawks have promoted Norm Mciver to Asst GM. Buccigross goes further to say "internally the Blackhawks are a mess".



Unfucking real. Rocky wake the **** UP!

Rocky's too busy riding around on a golf cart in Cicero to be bothered.



Edit: The coverage by the local beat writers on Q to MTL to be expected. As if they are afraid of the McD woodshed.





Why is @Buccigross reporting he would be shocked if Q comes back? WTF is going on behind the scenes?



Chris Kuc You should ask him, not me. There is some dissension in the ranks, but I believe he'll be back











Adam Jahns For those wondering, Joel Quenneville does speak and understand some French. He's not completely fluent, but can answer some questions.



9:45 so is he going?



Adam Jahns ‏

who knows. I go on vacation in a week.

He said "worst kept secret".

 

[Shantz My Pants]

While Q is still under contract, I could see StanBo letting him go and bringing in someone who will take orders. Either way this will be an interesting summer.

I have a feeling that as long as the Hawks keep getting asses in the UC seats he won't do shit. The apple it seems does not fall far from the tree. If the Hawks are such a moneyhole, why can't Rocky just sell it to someone that also likes the team and would like it to succeed. Why does this organization always get bogged down in shitty front office politics?

Exactly...

Problem is the old man built a team to win or compete for the Cup for a long time. Rocky is now fucking that up.

Bergervan was also under contract. That means very little with these type of moves.
