Vincent Lecavalier named as coach? Last-minute development emerges
A highly interesting idea has surfaced on social media, involving Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.
We tend to forget, but he has been part of the Montreal Canadiens organization for some time now, and some suggest he might be ready for a bigger role.
Could the former Tampa Bay Lightning captain, who has always been a loyal companion to Martin St-Louis, replace Alex Burrows behind the bench?
The idea of seeing Vincent Lecavalier as an assistant coach for the Montreal Canadiens circulates
Burrows, who left for personal reasons, has yet to be replaced alongside Martin St-Louis.

After all, Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier were an incredible duo on the ice for so many years.

He still lives in Florida but has recently expressed his interest in becoming more involved with the organization.
This is a situation to watch, as columnist Stu Cowan of "The Montreal Gazette" also raises this question.
