Timmins was fired at the same time as Marc Bergevin by the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge in November 2021. He worked in the Montreal organization from the campaign 2002-2003, when he was appointed amateur recruiting supervisor. In 2017, he became Bergevin's right-hand man.

In addition, in early February, Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion predicted the return to the National League of his friend Timmins.

“Trevor has a good reputation in the recruitment world. I worked with Trevor in Montreal. He's a good person. I would be enormously surprised if he didn't find work. Maybe his role will be different from the one he had in Montreal, but I think he will find work in the future with an organization,” Dorion mentioned on the JiC show. on TVA Sports.
