Rejean Houle was the Canadiens’ general manager from 1995 to 2000.
During his first season in the position, he made the most publicized trade in team history. On December 5, 1995, Houle dealt Patrick Roy and Mike Keane to the Colorado Avalanche in return for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko.
Over the course of his tenure, Houle also traded star players such as Mark Recchi, Vincent Damphousse and Pierre Turgeon in exchange for a variety of players that failed to make much of a mark with the Canadiens.
In his first three seasons as the team’s GM, Houle led the Canadiens to the playoffs, but was unable to get the Habs past the second round.
After that, the team struggled and missed the playoffs in consecutive years. During the 1998-99 season, Montreal finished last in its division for the first time in 59 years.
The Canadiens got off to a rough start in 2000-01, which cost Houle his job two months into the season. He was replaced by Andre Savard.
In just over five seasons with Montreal, Houle enjoyed success at the draft table, selecting future NHLers Stephane Robidas (1995, 7th round), Mathieu Garon (1996, 2nd round), Mike Ribeiro (1998, 2nd round), Francois Beauchemin (1998, 3rd round), Andrei Markov (1998, 6th round) and Michael Ryder (1998, 8th round).
