Kent Hughes reveals Alex Burrows' replacement behind the Canadiens bench

In an interview with Tony Marinaro on BPM Sports yesterday morning, the General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, discussed several topics.

When questioned about the Yaroslav Askarov situation and the trade market, Kent Hughes mentioned receiving a warning from the NHL:

Among other topics discussed, the Canadiens' GM agreed to answer questions about his plans to replace Alex Burrows behind the bench.

Kent Hughes seems to indicate that Alex Burrows' replacement would be none other than Martin St-Louis

Kent Hughes told Tony Marinaro that, at the moment, the organization does not plan to hire a new assistant coach to fill the departure of Alex Burrows.

His duties would therefore be redistributed internally.

It should be noted that Burrows is still an employee of the Canadiens, but he has changed roles and decided to leave his position as an assistant coach.

All indications suggest that his replacement, who will be responsible for the extremely important task of managing the Montreal Canadiens' power play, would be Martin St-Louis.

Thus, the coaching staff, consisting of Martin St-Louis, Trevor Letowski, Stéphane Robidas, and Eric Raymond, would remain intact for the 2024-2025 season.

It could have been interesting to hire a veteran, an expert in the power play, but at the same time, one can imagine that Martin St-Louis is absolutely qualified to effectively organize a 5-on-5 attack.

And you, do you think it's the right decision?

There you have it, Burrows' replacement temporarily will be internal and it will be none other the Marty St-Louis!
