Habs Hire Gallant, Qualier Signed, Nash, Pearn and More

Gerard Gallant - QMJHL v Mississauga
Happy lunch time Hab fans!

Marc Bergevin is certainly keeping busy, isn't he?

After hiring three new people yesterday, it now seems that Gerard Gallant will join Michel Therrien as an Assistant Coach. Gallant, who coached the Saint John Sea Dogs, was rumored to be in contention for the head coaching position.

In respect to player movement, prospect Steve Qualier has been signed to a two-year deal. The 22-year old was a third round pick in 2008.

What do you think of Bergevin's latest slew of moves?

I heard it was gonna be a busy summer for the habs, I heard right. And it's just the beggining. can't wait for the draft to happen :)

I really like the Gallant hiring, picking up the best coach in all of Junior Hockey is never a bad thing.
A hard nosed ex-player will likely serve the role Kirk Muller used to.

Steve Qualier might our sleeper power forward in the making. Big body, good hands and a little grit.
Too bad he's not ready right now!
