Alex Burrows will not return to the Montreal Canadiens coaching staff next season. The decision was made by Burrows himself, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. However, he will remain with the organization in a new role as a player development consultant. The Canadiens have also added Lauri Korpikoski to their player development department. Assistant coaches Trevor Letowski and Stéphane Robidas will return, and discussions will soon begin with head coach Martin St. Louis and General Manager Kent Hughes regarding the addition of a third assistant coach to replace Burrows.
