from Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette,
When Canadiens owner Geoff Molson went looking for a new general manager six years ago, he asked Serge Savard to help him conduct the search.
It was a good move by Molson, since Savard was a Hall of Fame defenceman with the Canadiens and won eight Stanley Cups as a player before becoming the team’s general manager and building Montreal’s last two championship teams in 1986 and 1993....
With the Feb. 26 NHL trade deadline approaching and Bergevin still in charge, it certainly looks like he’s going to keep his job and work on another five-year plan after his first one failed. When Savard was interviewed by Chris Nilan Thursday on the former Hab’s Off the Cuff show on TSN Radio 690, he said Molson has a plan for the future, although the owner hasn’t stated publicly what it is....
If that plan includes keeping Bergevin, Molson should reach out to Savard for help once again and offer him the role of director of hockey operations.
