His former coach went on to say, «I was thrilled by it,» Beaney said. «But that's just the type of person he is. He really appreciates people and I think he's going to do a fantastic job.»
Hughes has built a solid relationship with his former coach who was the first person Hughes called after accepting the job with the Canadiens.
