Gabe Johnson announced his running for expansion in the last week, citing his excellent work as Hamilton Co-GM as a strong reason for him to be considered. He wanted his team to be Montreal based due to it being his place of birth, and his primary idea for something to consider was a concept made by his teammate, Flacko Lagerfield, which is the Montreal Olympiens. It is a team rooted deeply in the history of Olympics in Montreal, a city that of course hosted the Olympics in what a resounding success for the city. Johnson would of course be the star of the team, and he would lead forward a new era of Montreal hockey in the big leagues of the sim hockey world. Of course, without much discussion needed from HO at all, Johnson's expansion idea was rejected on the basis that it would be impossible for a team with Gabe Johnson at the helm to experience any type of success at all, and it would simply be a franchise doomed for failure.
