He will be assisting Martin St-Louis and will be in charge of the defensemen. The current Habs head coach, St-Louis, was very happy with the addition:
He's not the only one who thinks this is a great move for the organization. As Charles-Alexis Brisebois (DansLesCoulisses.com) reports, former Robidas teammate and former Dallas Stars defenseman Trevor Daley considers the Habs' new assistant coach to be a solid mentor.
Daley also believes Robidas is a great team player, he never puts himself above others and always thinks of the team first. For him there is absolutely no doubt: Robidas is a golden person, very pleasant to be around, he is excellent with the youngsters, and the Habs will come out of this very winning. A truly remarkable testimony.
