Yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens announced that they have fired general manager Marc Bergevin, just months after making the Stanley Cup Final.
Along with this, the club also said that they have relieved assistant general manager Trevor Timmins, and Paul Wilson, Senior Vice President of Affairs and Communications, of their duties following the team's 6-15-2 start to the season.
This news isn’t entirely out of nowhere, as Bergevin was in the final year of his contract, and with the team out of the playoff picture, it only made sense. He has been the team’s general manager since the spring of 2012.
