The Canadiens will need to fill two coaching positions within the organization's hierarchy. One is an assistant position under Martin St-Louis, and the other is the head coach role for the Rocket in Laval.
Anthony Marcotte at BPM Sports has provided very interesting information regarding the situation of young coach Sylvain Favreau.
After guiding his team to the QMJHL finals in the last two seasons, several NHL teams are curious about him.
It's no secret that the Canadiens are very interested in Favreau.
"The Canadiens would be very, very interested in Sylvain Favreau's name from the Drummondville Voltigeurs for the assistant coaching position in Montreal or even as head coach of the Rocket... He may well have coached his last game with the Voltigeurs."
Very interesting information from @anthonymarcotte following Alex Burrows' departure!

An announcement could therefore come very soon. Even before Jean-François Houle's contract extension announcement, the name of the recently crowned QMJHL champion coach was already circulating within the Canadiens' circles...
