MONTREAL – Five years after leaving Montreal, Kirk Muller is returning to where it all started.
In his first major move of the offseason, Marc Bergevin announced on Thursday evening that the team would be bringing in a new associate coach for the 2016-17 campaign. While most newcomers to the organization need time to transition to life in Montreal, the Canadiens’ latest acquisition should be able to step in a little more seamlessly than most.
After a discussion with his boss in St. Louis, Muller was given the green light to speak with interested teams about potential openings around the league.
