What I retain is his speech about the leadership that a coach must bring. Hughes pointed to Rod Brind'Amour, perhaps showing a small desire to replace his head coach, Dominique Ducharme.
Did he mean that Ducharme did not have the necessary leadership? No idea, I do not want to put words in his mouth, but... Here! So read his words about Captain Rod, you'll understand.
«Initially, a coach must be a leader. There are different leadership styles, but I can give the example of a guy like Rod Brind'Amour in Carolina. The players follow what he says. He is respected. There is communication and training. I am one of those who think that even in the National League, players continue to develop. That is part of the coach's responsibilities," said Hughes.
Brind'Amour, what a career, what a man, what a passionate and what an incredible leader. This sequence of him marked my life and confirmed to me that this individual was special:
That said, will Hughes opt to bring a former player behind the bench of his Canadiens, like the Roy, for example? We're talking here...
