Look at it this way TT now will likely no longer hold amateur scouting responsibilities and might be poached for a GM gig...
Canadiens announce restructuring of player development personnel
- Thread starter hairnova
- Start date
I saw the headline on TSN about the cube and the first thing I thought was Count's BF is back. MB reads these forums and 100% did this to fk with Count.
If only I had that much power.

Maybe a decade ago that was possible, but TT doesn't fit the new model of smart/analytics oriented GM.

Looks like everyone got promoted, except Riendeau.
Also I don't mind Bouillon as development coach, his technique and positioning was near perfect, which is the only reason he was able to have an NHL career as a 5'8 defenseman. He had to study the game extensively to get every single edge he could to survive, that's a good guy to have teach your young players.

We also had 0 graduates from Sly on the ice for the last game of the season, unless you want to count Gallagher.

This is why I don't understand why he is still employed

Marty Lapointe was just on TSN690, as he got into talking about this generation of player, u could hear the frustration in his voice regarding how hard he felt it was getting through to them....looks to me like he was gently pushed aside.

I think he was miffed at Scherbak "u can get them nutritionists, personal trainers, psychologists but at some point they have got to want to be a professional and want to succeed.....u can have all the skills but commitment & mindset is necessary.."

how about they coach them properly ?
You can't tell me that every prospect that Sly got his hands on failed because they weren't professional or didn't want to succeed.....maybe the system needs to be changed. After 5 years, I am ready to give the benefit of the doubt to the players....not management.
Lapointe sounds like Bergevin when he is defensive in his pressers...

So if Hudon or JDLR finally succeeds this season as an NHL regular....does the org get any credit for patience?

in the new NHL, 4th liners like JDLR are hardly worth developing as many experienced ones are available for around $1M/yr

Other teams seems to be succeeding so what's different with our players? Once again, either we're not drafting the right players, or we're not developing them properly, or both.
Both Lapointe and Lefebvre, and Bergevin, are old schools and they responded well to tough love techniques of the past, but I don't think they understand this new generation of players, at all.
