Dudley jumping from the Leafs to the Habs

Good hockey man, nice move by Bergevin.

Dreger: Dudley expected to join Canadiens as assistant GM

I like what the Habs are doing right now.

Bergevin was a quality hire and Dudley will be a valuable resource in the re-tooling that the Habs need right now.

Comeds will like this move. Good move by the Habs.

I heard the Name Michel Therrien being bandied about as the next Habs coach...

/AV as well once the Canucks decide on his future

I think the Kings rolling over St Louis may buy AV a little slack with Canuck brass

Sounds like the Leafs don't want Dudley to join the Habs until after the June entry draft. Makes sense since I'm sure Dudley has a ton of insider info regarding Leafs drafting strategy etc.

A tweet from Darren Dreger (TSN):

Rick Dudley's move from Toronto to Mtl likely before NHL Draft, but Dudley won't be allowed to work the event for the Habs.

Toronto knows that there are such things as phones and computers that people can communicate with right?

All Toronto needs is truculence, belligerence, and pugnacity, communication is overrated.

Dudley is on the honour system.

Well played sir.

I don't think there is any compensation matty, that's something that the owners are looking to change in the next CBA...

he was still under contract. Devils got compensation didn't they for Sutter from the flames? strange things. I know Burke was rumoured to ask that Dudley NOT participate in the upcoming draft.

matty, you should tweet my good buddy Darren Dreger with that compensation question...

I can see it now.....

MLSE: Brian, do NOT let Dudley go to MTL until after the draft.
Burke: But he's already stated his intentions to go. His heart isn't in it here.
MLSE: Right, but we don't want him giving away any draft secrets.
Burke: Rick has a Smartphone and a Laptop.....
MLSE: .....
Burke: I mean, I'll ask him to stay longer.
MLSE: Nah, Let him go I guess.
Burke: .....
MLSE: Call the Sharks about the availability of Thornton and Marleau.....
