In 2012, Savard sat on the selection committee, as Bob Gainey currently does. Roy was one of the candidates, obviously, but not for the general manager position. Oh, no?
"Patrick, when I was on that committee that appointed Bergevin, Patrick at that time, was considered an instructor. He was not interviewed as a GM, he was interviewed as an instructor at that time and Bergevin decided not to hire him. That was Marc Bergevin's decision," said Serge Savard.
In short, we can certainly understand Marc Bergevin for not having hired Patrick Roy since the two individuals do not seem really compatible. Roy, as a goalie, YES! Roy, as a leader or coach, I'm not sure!
