Is a significant change coming to the management structure of the Canadiens?
The Montreal Canadiens made unofficial changes to their organization this Tuesday by parting ways with Adam Douglas, who had been the director of the Sports Science and Performance Division since the end of Marc Bergevin's era.
This dismissal is directly linked to Hughes and Gorton's efforts to review the club's medical team, following several seasons marked by record injuries. This information was disclosed by journalist Arpon Basu from The Athletic, who was present during the fitness tests in preparation for the upcoming draft, where Douglas was not with the Canadiens.
Simultaneously, there may be a former member rejoining the Canadiens soon.
According to journalist Craig Morgan, Albie O'Connell, a former scout for the Canadiens and assistant coach for the Arizona State Sun Devils this season, has decided to leave his position in the NCAA after receiving an offer to work with an NHL team for the 2024-25 season.
Arpon Basu suggests it is highly likely that this Watertown, Massachusetts native will return to Montreal as an assistant coach or scout, given his history with the organization dating back to the 2022-23 season.
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, there appears to be a direct connection between O'Connell's unexpected departure and the vacant positions within the Canadiens.
