Fanpuck33_ Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Glenn Murray - would love to see him in a habs jersey Paul Kariya - washed up IMO Michael Nylander - good role player, but we have those Valeri Bure - would like him better than Dags on 2nd line Brett Hull - too old Petr Nedved - over-rated Jason Allison - maybe Adam Deadmarsh - would be nice Ziggy Palffy - can't risk paying him to get hurt, use money elsewhere Pavel Bure - done Eric Lindros - done and never liked him Peter Bondra - old Pavol Demitra - a good replacement for Kovy Scott Mellanby - another roleplaying vet Vincent Damphousse - no room at C, maybe 2nd line LW? Alexei Zhitnik - would love a solid D-man in Montreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Adam Deadmarsh is in no shape to play, he will probably retire. Even if he did return he will still have be a big injury risk, do we really want a player like this on the habs? I love Deadmarsh, but I think he's finished.

Natural Mystic Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I would like to see 1- kariya 2- murray 3- allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Wow... 1) Demitra (he reminds me of andre aggasi... spelled wrong) 2) Murray (stronger than most ppl on the team, can put it in the net) 3) Zhitnik (wow, he knows wut he is doing, never liked him really cuz i not a buffalo fan but, i could see him in a habs jersey for sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Adam Deadmarsh - shake it up (only a healthy one, but thats no gonna happen i think) Pavol Demitra- his skill Jason Allison - like the way he play's [Edited on 2004/7/23 by Dutch_Hab_Fan] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zowpeb Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 1) Demitra - he's the best UFA on the market IMO... 2) Murray - would be a perfect fit for our offense 3) Zhitnik - our D could use a guy like this Other then them and Kovalev there isn't really any other UFA that I'd even bother with. The rest of them aren't much better then options from our own system. We can find the d-men we need in our own system, we can find the offensive talent in our own system...IMO there are only 4 UFA's that are a definite upgrade over our own players...yes, I realise that some guys like Palffy would be an upgrade but they are never healthy enough to bother with the risk. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombTHEice Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I would love to see either Kariya or Demitra in Montréal. Both have pure offensive skills, both can really help the team. Especially Kariya would be great but I think he'll be too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I think Montreal will be looking to someone of bigger size than Karia... having both Koivu & Karia on a line... sure it sounds wonderfull, but, probably easy knocked around... (not taking anything away from Koivu, he is very strong... but the big guyz can still handle them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejackal Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Brett Hull, it probably won't happen, and he prolly won't want to come here anyway. But imagine our powerplay. Last year and the second half of this year, it has been sh!t. We need a shooter. Instead of passing it around the perimeter and losing it eventually, Ribs or Koivu and spot him open in the slot coming out of the corner and BAM, it's over for the other team.

Tony_ Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Glenn Murray - big winger who could help out the team, would like to see him sign Paul Kariya - had a bad season, should rebound in the next, would like to see him in habs but for right money, paying more than 2-3 mil is too much, i'd give him some bonuses if he can put his game together Michael Nylander - i dont see him with the team Valeri Bure - i doubt he'll sign, if he does im sure he'll be on the 2nd line Brett Hull - could be the goal scorer the habs need, but they need a longterm deal, not someone who might retire soon, (remember gainey saying something about a youth movement? ) Petr Nedved - forget it, he wants too much cash Jason Allison - same as nedved Adam Deadmarsh - couldnt think of something bad if he signs with the habs ignoring his last season in jury Ziggy Palffy - another player who's hungry for big money Pavel Bure - he might be the russian rocket but his injuries are sure slowing him down, for his numbered amount of games he plays in a season he would help out the habs if he signed but not as much as they wish (big salary too) Eric Lindros - this guy is a concussion away from death, i wouldnt even bother answering his phone calls if i were gainey Peter Bondra - for cheap he'd be alright Pavol Demitra - big salary, forget it Scott Mellanby - heh looks like he a trasher now Vincent Damphousse - for the right price he'd be good on a 3rd or 4th line Alexei Zhitnik - i'd rather let komisarek play don't get me wrong i'd like to see some big names in the team like bure nedved kariya and so on but only at the right price - i would hate to see the team sign big names are big prices and raise ticket prices like in toronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent ideas, but I'm shocked you list Lindros as "a concussion away from death" when he isn't (maybe two, but he can still play), while Deadmarsh isn't "something bad" and Bure can still be a "big-name player". Now, if you dislike Lindros because of the Quebec fiasco, that's alright. But he's more fit to play (and make more of an impact) than either Deadmarsh or Bure (at this moment in time). But yeah, top 3 for me: 1. Kovalev (@ $4-5 million) 2. Murray (@ $3.5-4.5 million) 3. Bondra (@ $2.5-4 million) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_ Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Heh, thanks for the welcome. I don't dislike Lindros, like you said he's an impact player and I couldn't agree more. He just has to play more safely but that isn't his style since he's a hard hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy10 Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Originally posted by Tony[Adam Deadmarsh - couldnt think of something bad if he signs with the habs ignoring his last season in jury I think Deadmarsh is one hit away from retirement, in fact I've heard he may have already considered retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribeiro Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Vincent Damphousse - for the right price he'd be good on a 3rd or 4th line If Damphousse comes, he gets Captaincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 OKKKK, get Captaincy from Koivu... sure... lol i think we all know thats never going to happen.... Think about it... when Koivu was gone with cancer, the team did not even assign someone to take the C in his place, instead they displayed his sweater in the locker room, and we went with only assistants..... NO ONE is going to take that C away from him, unless he decides he wants to play for another team, or gets traded for some KRAZY reason... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribeiro Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 That could piss off some fans :/ It's personal preference for me. Damphousse was one of my favourite players. The fact that he was a former Montreal Canadien captain and a member of the 92-93 Stanley Cup team qualifies him. He'd at least get the "A" back. OKKKK, get Captaincy from Koivu... sure... lol i think we all know thats never going to happen.... Uh, unless you weren't aware, "Captaincy" can include Alternates too. Think about it... when Koivu was gone with cancer, the team did not even assign someone to take the C in his place, instead they displayed his sweater in the locker room That would have been disrespectful if they did assign a new Captain. NO ONE is going to take that C away from him, unless he decides he wants to play for another team, or gets traded for some KRAZY reason... If Damphousse came in and got the C, I wouldn't be anything bad. The guy definetly qualifies - unless you can justify why Koivu would make a better Captain without using the words, "He beat cancer."

Psycing Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 lol... it would be disrepectful to remove the captaincy from a person who deserves it as well. Did you think Rejean Houle, and Mario Tremblay did a good job?... and... from what i recall... Koivu was assigned captaincy... BEFORE he had the ordeal with cancer. This shows there was something about this guy that made him well suited for it... He is a smaller player in the NHL, who plays the size of his heart, and that is huge. He never gives up on the ice, and is constantly looking for the good plays on the ice... and he is a game breaker. When you need someone to get the job done, you can be assured that when u put him on the ice, he is gonna be one to set it up. He is a playoff performer, we have seen him elevate his game in the playoffs. He fits the mold, as he can be very much compared to the habs team as a whole. It is a small team, who finds ways to succeed, and there is a ton of good outlook for the team. Maybe you think because this is quebec, we should have a french captain or something like the good old days.... well i'd hate to burst your bubble... but the majority of great french players are now goaltenders. Thank you Mr. Roy. I think everyone here, can find even more reasons why Koivu is a better captain than mr Damphousse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
