(Montreal) The Montreal Canadiens have made another gesture aimed at completing their executive office organization chart by promoting John Sedgwick, who has been named assistant general manager.
Posted at 2:24 p.m.
Sedgwick joined the team in April 2013 as director of legal affairs before being promoted to vice president of hockey operations and legal affairs in July 2017.
His responsibilities include the negotiation of contractual agreements with players, strategic planning and daily management of the salary cap, arbitration files as well as the management of situations related to the collective agreement.
Before joining the Canadiens, Sedgwick held various positions within the NHL’s hockey department between 2006 and 2013.
Sedgwick has been involved with the Laval Rocket, with whom he also serves as the main governor of the Laval team. He also piloted the file for the new affiliation with the Lions of Trois-Rivières in the ECHL.
Last week, the Canadiens announced the appointments of Nick Bobrov as co-director of recruiting and Vincent Lecavalier as special advisor to hockey operations.
