Ducharme named Asst Coach

Ducharmes was already in discussion with the blues and Calgary to for a coaching job (possible their all team). For the Hans to get him, they had to offer more. Our farm team is a disaster, so a job with the big club and a nice paycheck was probably needed.
 
The Habs had to get him in case Julien is let go in the next year or two, since Julien’s replacement has to be French and DD appears to be the only qualified person under that criterion.
 
Julien said Ducharme will be the 4th guy behind the bench , but they will get someone else to coach the defense.
 
Also looking at the 3-players Habs have recently signed from the Q....I believe they all came from Bouchard’s Blainville-Armada. Gotta think it’s more than just coincidence

Pour le poste d'adjoint qui reste à combler, Claude Julien recherche un ancien défenseur de la #LNH qui possèderait idéalement une certaine expérience de coaching dans le circuit Bettman. #RDS

Yep. If the Habs are smart they will secure as much franco coaching talent as possible. That means spending more money to compensate for better job postings elsewhere.

If there is no line of succession, we end up with another Cunneyworth or a Julien rush job.
