He's been a pretty good developmental coach so far. Caufield, Slafkovsky, and other young Montreal players have really praised him so far in helping their games.
If they don't get 80+ points and at least start to push for a playoff contention this season then I think you'll start to hear more criticism of St. Louis, but at the same time I think more people expect Buffalo, Detroit, and Ottawa to take steps in that division before Montreal.
Up until now I think he's mostly done what's been asked of him in terms of helping to develop the young players, but the Heat will start to turn up.

Again don't tell me how great a coach is when they finish last place every season...no team is e
If the Flames miss the playoffs 7 straight seasons and are still finishing last in the division (like have they ever? let alone 3 straight years) I certainly won't be defending their staff. I get the ninja edit but really, people who actually read my posts will realize I only defend the over the top bashing.
I'm not even saying he is bad I was responding to someone who said he was a really good coach, like he has ZERO track record.
"they are still a few years out" lol if I am saying that after years of not making the playoffs and 3 straight last place finishes god help us all.
