Awful deal Bob.. Gainey's big scale 6'3" = 5'11" Including McDonough was such a mistake.

Agreed.. Briere should not be our radar. If we get a small french player from Philly it better be Simon Gagne. And I do think Gainey's patience is really his non ability to get moves made.

I haven't been posting here for a while.. but I'm really happy with our draft so far. Love the last two picks, Bennett and Avtsyn.

On how to be a pylon.

Isn't Shanny resigning with the Rangers?

I forgot about that.

I would still take a flyer if he didn't demand alot of $$.

This would've been great 5 years ago.

Everyone's talking about giving Bertuzzi and Yashin a chance. What about Peter Forsberg?

Babelfish? haha Hamrlik has 374 master keys? We have to sign him now!

I think we will have to give up our 12th pick to get Marleau. (besides other assets) I wouldn't mind to tell you the truth. We have quite a few prospects now in the system and Marleau needs to be a 1st line center now that he's hitting his prime. I think Gainey should try and trade Souray's rights much like Philly's GM did. Maybe to San Jose? I also think Pitkanen would be a great pick-up.. he was burnt out last season, he played the most out of all the Flyers' D and because they were poorly on the defensive side, his +/- was lousy. He has size and quite a bit of time on his side for improvement. I just hope we wouldn't have to give up much for him.

Kovalev needs to go! I never imagined saying that.

Andrei Markov - we need to resign him. 2. Chris Drury (BUF) C/LW - would look good centering a line with Higgins 3. Scott Gomez (NJ) C - 2nd line center who can play a system 4. Sean Hill (NYI) D - very steady d-man with some offensive upside 5. Cory Sarich (TB) D - can hit and hit some more 6. Bryan Smolinski (VAN) C - could be 3rd line center if we can't fill the #2 void 7. Gary Roberts (PIT) LW - leadership and toughness, something we need more of 8. Danny Markov (DET) D - would rejoin Andrei as Russian team linemates 9. Teemu Selanne (ANA) RW - a pipedream 10. Jozef Stumpel (FLA) C - a last option at center Who do you think we should go after?

I'm glad we're at home tonight.. back to our slower ice. Last night it seemed all our breakout passes to were too far ahead of everyone.. the ice in Ottawa seemed much quicker. We seemed like we couldn't adjust. Hopefully tonight a different outcome! Go Habs Go!

I see. The new CBA is still fresh. I still think he won't play next season for the Habs.
