Insider Andy Strickland just dropped a bomb via his Twitter account. The assistant general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Scott Mellanby, would have effectively ended his association with the organization!
In office since May 2012, Mellanby will have accompanied the team's GM, Marc Bergevin, during most of his mandate with the Tricolore. The reasons for this decision have not yet been revealed.
Initially thought to be the president of hockey operations, Gorton could become Mellanby's successor, or perhaps even the interim general manager, if Bergevin gets fired eventually.
