After his unceremonious dismissal from his head coaching position in February, former Montreal Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien will serve as a scout for the team this season, he told TSN 690 Montreal on Friday.

Therrien was fired and replaced by Claude Julien on Valentine's Day amid the Habs' midseason swoon, where the team stumbled to an 18-18-7 record after starting the campaign 13-1-1. He was let go with two years left on his contract, providing him with the opportunity to continue working with the club.

Although several NHL teams hired new head coaches this offseason, Therrien apparently wasn't in the mix for many of the new gigs across the league. He did mention he had a conversation with the Florida Panthers, but the vacancy was eventually filled by first-time boss Bob Boughner.

Therrien spoke candidly about several controversial sagas during his tenure in Montreal, including the infamous 10-0 loss in Columbus, as well as his relationships with P.K. Subban, Max Pacioretty, and Carey Price. It can be listened to in its entirety here.
