The Montreal Canadiens have added another recently retired NHL player to their growing player evaluation staff as multiple Stanley Cup winner and lauded shut down center John Madden has been hired as a scout. Madden's responsibilities will be to scout free agent players at the US collegiate level, an area the Canadiens haven't made many splashes in recent years. In other news around the league, Gabriel Landeskog has been named the captain of the Colorado Avalanche, and at 19 years and 286 days, he becomes the youngest team captain in NHL history.
