"The Canadiens tried to attract Steven Stamkos to Montreal in 2016, just days before the free agency market opened."
"We flew out, Marc Bergevin, Geoff Molson, and myself," said Therrien.
"There were many teams that wanted to meet him. Marc talked to him about the team's structure. We had a good team and were making the playoffs. We weren't missing much.
Geoff talked to him about the promotional advantages he could have had by playing in Montreal. From my side, I told him how I wanted to use him."
