For several years now, the Montreal Canadiens' special teams have struggled, and Kent Hughes is well aware of this. There have been rumors of dismissals throughout the season.
Indeed, the main person being pointed out is Alex Burrows, who is in charge of the power play. Although this aspect of the game has improved in recent weeks, it is clearly insufficient.
The general manager then stated that he intends to extend the contracts of Letowski, Burrows, and Raymond.
This is very good news for Burrows and company, and for the team as a whole. Progress was clearly visible in the second half of the season, even though it was far from perfect.
