Bob Hartley to return to the NHL and joins the Canadiens: he breaks his silence
A highly respected coach in the hockey world, Bob Hartley had taken a break to spend time with his family, but rumors suggested he might return.
Indeed, there is still a vacant head coaching position for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and many sources believe he would be an ideal candidate.
However, there is no better way to get a definitive answer than to ask him directly, and the answer is no. Bob will not be the next head coach of the Blue Jackets.
A Job with the Canadiens for Bob Hartley?
Hartley spoke about the topic on BPM Sports. He is not closing the door on returning to the NHL, but he wants to stay close to his loved ones.
"Hartley, however, continued by opening the door to a return to the NHL in another form, stating that he would be open to a special advisor role if a team he particularly likes called him with an offer.
Was he referring, barely indirectly, to the Montreal Canadiens?" - Marco Normandin
It is quite clear that Bob was talking about the Canadiens and would gladly accept a position within the organization.
The ball is now in Kent Hughes' court to decide whether to take this opportunity or not. Hartley's experience certainly makes him a prime candidate.
