A few more New York Islanders coaching staff bits to pass on this week: Luke Richardson is definitely out, as on Monday morning he was announced as a new Montreal Canadiens assistant coach on Claude Julien’s staff:
“We undertook a process to select a coach with specific criteria in mind, and after taking the time to meet with several candidates, we’re very happy that Luke accepted to join our group. He has already been told that his role on our staff will be to work with our defensemen,” indicated Canadiens head coach, Claude Julien.
