On BPM Sports in the past few hours, the excellent Ian Laperrière sent a pretty clear message, especially to the Montreal Canadiens.
In short, he said he wants to return, as soon as possible, behind the bench as a coach.
This could be a great opportunity for the Habs organization-either as an assistant to Martin St-Louis or even as a potential future replacement for Pascal Vincent behind the bench of the Laval Rocket.
We know very well that Pascal Vincent will eventually land a position as a head coach in the National Hockey League.
It really does seem like only a matter of time.
