Vincent Lecavalier has been involved with the Montreal Canadiens for some time now, but it appears he may be open to a bigger role moving forward.
The Montreal Canadiens are assembling one of the brightest young cores in all of hockey, and with Martin St. Louis leading the way, the future is very exciting in one of hockey's best markets. Now, they may be getting a big time boost, as it has been revealed that former St. Louis teammate Vincent Lecavalier is potentially eyeing off a bigger role with this coaching staff.

Despite being a part of the front office, Lecavalier still resides in Florida, but after a successful NHL career, his calling has always been behind the bench, and with a Canadiens team that needs a boost on the powerplay, there's no name better to potentially fill that role.

Following a stellar NHL career, Lecavalier has plenty of potential as a coach in the NHL, and with a core that includes Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and a former No. 1 overall pick in Juraj Slafkovsky, expect him to play a role with the organization sooner, rather than later.
