Therrien signs four year extension with the Habs. That is going to make it very awkward when he loses the room and gets fired next year.

Yeah, seems a bit long but I guess they had to offer him decent term after all of the success they had this year.

Do you really think he will lose the room? Seems like they did well enough this year to believe, but I really do not have the inside scoop.

Max term should be three years if a team is thinking straight. Then again, Vancouver signed Torts to a five year deal.............

No cap penalties for firing a coach mid-contract. It costs the owner more but beyond that circle it's not overly relevant. I don't think the Molsons would have a problem moving on to a new coach when change is needed.

MolsonX's would support it too if needed!

meh, I don't love the guy but it could be worse...if he doesn't work out they can always fire him in a couple years, it's not like the Habs are hurting for cash

Now that the extended Molson family is all on the same page... good signing!

if he gets fired midway through the extension he would probably be hired by another team within 6 months

so no real big hit financially because new team picks up the remaining salary (I could be mistaken though )
