The Canadiens are getting closer to their ultimate goal, but they've still got work to do...and that's exactly why development matters more than ever. This week we discuss Pascal Vincent's departure with AHL expert @pwilliamsAHL, plus look at the importance of the Rocket coaching vacancy and why Montreal still has important work to do behind the bench (and not just in Laval!🤔) 🎧youtu.be/NWq3QteSlp0 DraftKings promo code: THPN ➡️tinyurl.com/DKSBTHPN @RocketSports @HabsConnection @HockeyHStove @Hockeypodnet #Habs #GoHabsGo #NHL

They’re definitely on the right track. The absolute worst thing that they could do is to rush it. Continue developing all the young talent and build a monster.

We have 3 untouchables due to sentimentalism and/or nepotism: Hage, Koivu & Xhekaj Due to high skill and need: Reinbacher & Fowler Roy was untouchable due to being the only French prospect at one point but the addition of Bolduc and Blais has remedied that
