I think if Brutlag said no to being moved to forward he would more likely be riding the pine in the chateau bowwow. I obviously have no insight into this but it is just my humble opinion.
    AGREE!

        Amen to that. He will definitely be missed, but I'm sure Coach has someone in mind that will do just as good of a job of recruiting as Monty. As for on the ice, Asst. Coach Vines has proven himself very well, so I trust Coach's judgement.

          Maybe we'll get Ben Barr back.

              Did you think that through, Ralph? He's younger than Vines.
              Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                No, I don't think so, but I just raised the possibility.

                  Why not Kevin Broad, then?

                    even younger (by about a month )

                    Barr has experience now in recruiting which Broad probably doesn't.

                          "...Word is the Dubuque Fighting Saints are close to naming their Head Coach for next season when they enter the USHL. I’m hearing RPI assistant Jim Montgomery and former NHL D-man Rick Zombo are both receiving strong consideration... "

                          http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=27064

                          Content appears about 2/3 of the way down the page. Dubuque is entering the USHL this fall, and will play a new 3,200 arena. The ownership group includes Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli...that name sounds familiar...ha ha.
                          He's been offered the job http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2...c571716799.txt.

                              Good luck Monty. You are going to make a great head coach. Some of us are familiar with the contributions you have made here. You will be missed. All in all, a really smart move, given the GM'S involvement in the gig. He got a real bargain when he recruited you

                                Totally agree. Now the question is who does SA bring in to replace Monty?
