New assistant to Martin St-Louis: A former Canadiens star is being targeted
The position previously held by Alex Burrows as an assistant to Martin St-Louis has still not been filled, leading to rumors that Martin is handling the power play himself.
After all, he is the conductor, but we must remain realistic. Martin is already doing much more than most NHL coaches, and adding this function to his list of tasks would be very intense.
Martin will undoubtedly need help, and a name well-known to fans has been targeted by journalist Jimmy Murphy.
What needs to be known is that Recchi was informed yesterday that he would not be returning to the Blue Jackets organization, where he spent the last season."
- Marc-Olivier Cook
Recchi played 346 games with the Canadiens, spread over five seasons between two stints with the Philadelphia Flyers. He accumulated 120 goals and 202 assists for 322 points during that time, which is more than respectable.
He is also known for being very good with young players and worked with Pascal Vincent last year, who is now the new coach of the Laval Rocket.
I really like the idea. Recchi has always been appreciated in Montreal, in addition to having gained some experience behind the bench. He is a leader and a very good communicator who knows the game in Montreal.
