In an interview with @jasmin_leroux, Dominique Ducharme explained why Nathan Mackinnon and Jonathan Drouin had such good chemistry when he was their coach with the Mooseheads.

Since Martin St-Louis took Dominique Ducharme’s place behind the Habs bench, the latter has found himself far from a field hockey bench. Yes, he has mandates here and there, but he doesn’t have his own club.
Is it a lack of opportunity? I’d say it’s the lack of the right opportunity. After all, I’m sure he could take charge of a QMJHL team, but he doesn’t want to.
And that’s fair enough. He’s already given.
All this to say that the former Habs coach hasn’t found a job yet, but that the situation could change in the next few days. After all, the man himself confirmed on the radio that we should expect to see him behind the bench in the fall.
It’s important to remember that even if Dominique Ducharme is paid by the Habs ($1.7M per year) for one more year, a field hockey man wants to work in field hockey.
What’s more, he probably doesn’t want to be forgotten by taking too big a break. It’s only natural.
These are good reasons to jump at an opportunity when he sees one. And in light of his comments, it’s clear that the phone is currently ringing with some good opportunities for him.

UFA goaltender Martin Jones remains engaged in talks with several teams and is weighing his options. Nothing imminent just yet, but he should find a home in the near future.

As we wait on when/if Vlad Tarasenko officially joins the #LetsGoCanes (1yr deal?), and wait for the Tony DeAngelo deal on July 8, CAR has more irons in the fire. Hearing Brett Pesce is still in play and #Smashville is back in the mix. Can confirm he owns a 15-team trade list.
