Montreal Canadiens GM Opening?

[Commissioner]

I have tried to contact Montreal's GM Joel Caron several times but have had no luck. Have any of you heard, talked, chatted, or seen Joel Caron online?? If so, please let me know. He was a good GM and really has a nice young team in Montreal and I hate to give up his hard work to someone else. However, we are getting close to the season and I have not heard from him.

So, I'm going to open up the position right now to applications. If you know of anyone that is interested in the Montreal position, please forward and application to [e-mail].

Montreal has a few RFAs to sign but has a really solid young team. Please talk to me ASAP if you are interested in the job.

Hi Nathan, I'm not sure which, but I remember Joel either posted a message or sent out an email saying he was going to be away for several weeks. But he would be back before the end of the month.

[Commissioner]

Did anyone receive this email and if so, can I get a copy of it? I have heard nothing from him since the Entry Draft in July. I have sent out several mailers and also sent out several personal emails directly to him. I haven't heard a peep.

I'd really like to hear from him as we are getting very close to pre-season.

I'm still going ahead and reviewing applications to run his team TEMPORARILY.

I definetly remember Joel stating that he would be away for a while, but I didn't save the e-mail....it was quite awhile ago, though I think.

Wasn't he joing the army or something??

Maybe I'm confusing him w/ someone else....either way hopefully he's ok!

He was so involved last year, I can't imagine he would just walk away...In fact I had been wondering about 2 days before you posted anything, Nate, why we hadn't heard from him at all during free agency...?

[CapitalsGM]

The army man, is Greg Stack, Columbus GM, Gavin. But yeah, I have not heard a thing for Joel and he hasn't replied to my e-mails...
