George Gillett

At the end of December, Dan O’Neill, president of Molson met with George N. Gillett, Jr.. Gillett had shown interest in the Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, and the Phoenix Coyotes.[1] After the meeting, Gillett agreed to be the new owner.[2] Gillett acquired the Molson Centre and eighty percent of the franchise for two hundred and seventy-five million dollars.[3]

The Canadiens allowed the fewest short-handed goals during the regular season, with just 3.[7]
