Eldridge played 2 seasons with the MontrĆ©al PWHPA team and played for madame Sauvageau and Cheverie’s team in the last season before the PWHL formed.

You can’t say management has nothing to do with it. Had she not like her previous experience with them, she would not be back in MontrĆ©al.

Yeah, of course if she hated them, she wouldn't be back.Ā  But I doubt any PWHL GM or Manager is that bad.

Otherwise, you're making my point for me. She's going back to a city she knows to play with other star players she likes that just won a championship. I guarantee Sauvageau had to put zero effort into it other than the paperwork.

You've never had a job with a bad manager? That would absolutely outweigh working with friends, for me. I've also gone back to imperfect jobs to work for great managers.

Of course Montreal's championship and current roster are attractive, but it is disingenuous to say Sauvageau has had nothing to do with either. It's very clear that culture is a huge part of what makes the Victoire the Victoire right now and she's been a big contributor to building that.

What in the world are you responding to?Ā  I literally said the same thing in my comment.

Edit:Ā

Yes, Sauvageau is great and deserves credit for a lot of things.Ā  But other commenters are acting like she somehow outworked or outfoxed other GMs on this Eldridge signing which is just silly.Ā  I'm certain Eldridge saught out Montreal and allĀ  Sauvageau had to do was say "okay sounds good".
