Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Front Office:
- Ensure that Gorton remains committed to the Habs. If that means further promoting him or massively raising his salary, so be it. He is an experienced presence that helps make Kent's job far easier.
- Consider bringing in Paul Byron and Carey Price as members of the front office or of the development staff. Byron seems to have already somewhat transitioned into that role, and could be a great liaison between the team and the front office. Price could serve as a mentor to the young goalies in the system; and he would be able to do so from his new home, in British Columbia.

Coaching Staff:
- Revamp the NHL coaching staff, and reconstruct the AHL coaching staff. Notably, let go of Burrows and Letowski, who were hired by Marc Bergevin and haven't been particularly effective in their time here (Burrows' PP is horrendously bad), as well as AHL head coach J-F Houle.
- At the NHL level, the Habs could consider bringing in the up-and-coming Coachella Valley Firebirds assistant coach, Jessica Campbell, and former Hab, Tomas Plekanec, who has expressed interest in becoming a coach, to continue the young team's development.
- One potential option for the AHL head coaching job would be Sherbrooke Phoenix head coach, Stephane Julien, who has won coach of the year and was an assistant coach for Canada's WJC team.
