Mathieu Darche would already have his next head coach if he became general manager
Now that the holiday break is behind us, the Habs staff will finally be able to begin interviews for the selection of the next general manager. Among the names of potential candidates to replace Marc Bergevin is former Canadiens player Mathieu Darche.
However, according to what is put forward by Tony Marinaro, Darche would have already chosen his next head coach for the big club if he were to obtain the position of general manager. It would be Guy Boucher.
While he was with the Hamilton Bulldogs, Darche played under Guy Boucher. Boucher had appointed him captain of the formation in 2009-10. The two men knew each other very well.
This would mean the end for Dominique Ducharme. With the miserable season that the team is having, it would not be surprising if this happened with the arrival of the new general manager.
It remains to be seen if it is Mathieu Darche who will be appointed to the position left vacant by the departure of Marc Bergevin. What's interesting about Guy Boucher is that he quickly has an impact on the teams he leads. However, this effect fades quickly.
Is the return of Guy Boucher as head coach of the Habs something desirable for the organization of the Montreal Canadiens? If not, is Dominique Ducharme still the man of the situation or is a change also necessary behind the bench?
