Just a few notes. I am using the UUB 6.1 roster continued by CJ as well as the realism ehm 07 patch, basically started the file unemployed and then this is where the story begins
May 2007
May 25th
With the Montreal Canadiens struggling over the past few years, the Montreal Canadiens decided to sell the team to the Molson Family. With that being said after the past struggling seasons they have decided that it’s time for a new direction. They fired Pierre Gauthier and started to begin their search on a new GM for the Montreal Franchise. With not many players signed they have their work cut out for them and to bring a winning brand back to Montreal. As Montreal has Hamilton Bulldogs as their farm team we know what it is like for the Canadiens fans of how success they want to be. As I sit at home in my Hamilton apartment as i just finished my smww hockey gm and scouting course I have decided to fill out application and fax it to the owners of the Montreal Canadiens who hire staff for the Hamilton squad. Growing up being from Hamilton and being a Hamilton fan I know what fans expect from the team to be successful. As I sit at my computer and look at the possible future of the Canadiens we have a bright future. Marc Bergevin has his work cut out for him and the team, before I look at all of the clubs rosters, a few hours after I sent in the fax I have received a phone call from the Montreal Canadiens to let me know that I have been named as the new Hamilton Bulldogs general Manager.
Our clubs Rival team is Rochester Americans (Buffalo/Florida)
The board must not be happy with the last gm because he does not expect much of me my first season.

The Strongest Calder Cup contender was predicted to be the Toronto Marlies (Toronto Maple Leafs), with Portland Pirates (Colorado/Phoenix) right behind them.
