5 candidates to replace Marc Bergevin as Montreal Canadiens GM (+)

When the Montreal Canadiens announced that goaltender Carey Price had decided to check in to the NHL/NHLPA’s joint player assistance program last week, the Habs PR department revealed that general manager Marc Bergevin would not be negotiating a contract extension with the team during the season.  Had it been another day, the news would have been the talk of the town, especially coming off the back of the team Bergevin constructed making it to the Stanley Cup Final in July.  Now, rumblings across the league seem to indicate that the Montreal Canadiens general manager for more than a decade is more likely to walk away after the final year of his contract than stay.  So, who could take the reins of the league’s most storied franchise with the pre-requisite that they be capable of speaking French?  Let’s take a look at 5 candidates who could be the next general manager of the Montreal Canadiens.
