The owner of the Montreal Canadiens, Geoff Molson, has closed the file on a rumor involving Jeff Gorton, the team's Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations.
Indeed, since Jarmo Kekalainen was fired in Columbus, several rumors have suggested Jeff Gorton could become the general manager there. He fits the profile they are looking for, as they are in a rebuilding phase.
There you have it, the matter is closed. Jeff Gorton is doing excellent work alongside Kent Hughes, and Molson has no intention of letting him go or allowing another team to speak with him.
So, it's quite clear, Jeff Gorton is here to stay, and the Canadiens will continue to have a solid duo for many seasons to come.
