Kent Hughes needed just one minute in his end-of-season review to resolve any ambiguity about Martin St-Louis’ future.
The coach of the Montreal Canadiens was going to start next season in the last year provided for in his contract, but now the GM has announced that he has exercised his two-year option provided for in the contract. St-Louis will therefore be in office for the next three seasons.
Tuesday, after the Canadian’s last game of the season, Martin St-Louis was also clear about his status: “I love what I do. I love my life outside of hockey. It’s a passion, not a job. I’m going to be here until they don’t want me anymore. »
The Canadian finished this season in penultimate place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 30-36-16, for a total of 76 points. The club finished the previous season in the same position in the East, but with 68 points.
