Major announcement coming regarding Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier?
We're now mid-July, and time is ticking as Kent Hughes still needs to find an assistant coach to work alongside Martin St-Louis and replace Alex Burrows.
Guy Boucher's name has been widely circulated, given his role with the Maple Leafs last year. Boucher is renowned for his teaching and tactical expertise, with some teams still using his systems in their strategies.
It's been several weeks since Burrows announced his departure from the bench, so if the Canadiens were set on hiring Boucher, wouldn't it have been announced by now?
The signs are somewhat confusing, suggesting the organization may have already made its choice but is delaying the official announcement.
Increasingly, rumors are swirling, including the mention of Vincent Lecavalier's name.

Lecavalier recently mentioned he's ready to take on more responsibilities within the organization. Imagine a St-Louis/Lecavalier duo behind the bench, two who have been a force together on the ice!
This is a developing story, but if it comes to fruition, it could be very intriguing for the Canadiens.
