Gauthier had been in the Montreal Canadiens front office since 2003 and was promoted to general manager in 2010. He was recently fired on March 29th, 2012 after seeing the Canadiens fall to the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 29-34-14 record.

Wikipedia is good for something:

From 1993 to 1995, he was the Assistant general manager for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He left this position in 1995 to become the third general manager of the Ottawa Senators, signing a five-year contract. His time with Ottawa coincided with a turnaround in the team's fortunes. After the 1997–98 season he left his contract early, citing family issues, saying he would take time off to explore life away from hockey. Seventeen days later he was re-hired by the Ducks where he served as president and general manager.[1][2] He was fired in 2002 after Anaheim missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.

Wasn't very good with the Ducks on his second stint either and his stint with the Sens was very strange. Left his job citing "personal reasons" said he was going to take time away from the game then signed on with the Ducks again a couple weeks later? Was weird. Something was up there in Ottawa at that time...lots of strange shit.

I don't like this signing. There seems to be a lot of this feeling in me these days. Not sure where the Hawks are going and why they keep bringing in so much ego to the club.

That's not the question. The question is will he swallow?

Depends on which way he shot it actually. Was he laying on his back, standing in front of, kneeling? Specifics man!

Well at least it's just a scouting position. When the tweet heard round the hockeyverse first appeared this morning I was mortified think he was the new Asst. Coach. Glad that didn't pan out.

Anyone know what his deal is in terms of I am assuming formerly doing/knowing scouting?

Shit! That's right! Forgot about that little nugget. Brought in as a "scout" while Savard was coaching. The horrible GM-ing past goes without saying. Then I go back to my original statement this morning in the Camp thread about even the rumored presence of Gauthier which is, "Ewww!"

It's a bad day in the hockeyverse when Habs fans are sending us their pity and condolences.

Bergevin for Gauthier... take a wild guess who wins this "trade"

Reading his bio over, it seems he has a long history of being a scout for various teams starting with the Nordiques way back when. There must be a Q connection somewhere in his past..

This hire makes my sack shrivel. (Not in a fun, carefree, the pool is chilly kind of way)

Aint that the damn truth.... and pass me a puke bucket.

Failed as GM of the Ducks, now this pile of trash comes back to haunt me?

With this hire, Stan just gave me the "If you fire me, it will only get worse" part of the plan.... I guess its time for me to kiss Stan's ass now.... -.-

However, as long as Pierre is nowhere near the front door of the front office, then I'll be ok.... but when sudden rumors about him being our next GM pop up..... dont be surprised if I get a little sick.

Makes it even worse when Duck fans are also doing it. I received them earlier tonight.

Hawks are setting themselves up for a return to irrelevancy real quick. I've lost all faith that the front office has a damn clue on what they are doing. This is a man that prohibited players from eating cheese on their flights...cheese, not to mention all the other stupid shit he's done in Montreal and other places he's been in.

No.

I'm not...

And no, the Hawks are not. I'm getting sick thinking about it.
