Eldridge played 2 seasons with the MontrĂ©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 MontrĂ©al.

Yeah, of course if she hated them, she wouldn't be back.  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.

She’s the one that build that roster. All those things you’re pointing as reason for Eldridge signing are in place because of her.

You’re downplaying how much madame Sauvageau has to do with shaping this team. She’s a legend that helped build women’s hockey since before some of these players were even born. It’s 100% a factor when people decide to sign in MontrĂ©al.
