qwijibo Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 “From the Free to read Athletic article” What makes Burke attractive to the Canadiens? Basu: Burke had a strong record as a goaltending coach with the Arizona Coyotes for years, and has served as a goaltending consultant and pro scout for the Canadiens. What’s interesting here is that Burke has not been named goaltending coach, but rather director of goaltending, which would suggest the Canadiens are instituting a goaltending department similar to what the Florida Panthers have done under Roberto Luongo. Burke has long been considered a potential NHL general manager, so shifting to a more active role like this does strengthen the front office.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Sean Burke is likely being geared up to be Bergevin's replacement. Burke has been rumored to be in contention for a lot of NHL jobs over the last few years. Also, with teams adding more people to the front office, it feels so strange how SMALL the Canucks front office is. The fact that it's basically 3 guys (Jim Benning, Former NBA GM John Weisbrod, and Chris Gear) is telling about what the faults of the club are. I hope when Benning is replaced that Aquaman has enough guts to hire a guy who wants structure and more voices in the room -- not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some, like Bob Gainey was an exception to that given his Cup winning history with the club as an elite defensive winger (and of course one time Captain of the Habs). You think the media are tough here? Nothing like how tough it is over in Quebec. Edited March 3, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has certainly earned the right to ask for a new coach if he wants one tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has certainly earned the right to ask for a new coach if he wants one tho. As a player Bergevin had a reputation as a great locker room guy and a prankster. I’ve never read a single negative thing about him as a person. I hated the Subban trade. But the bottom line is it’s a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
