| Sykora would be a nice addition, since the Habs need more offensive production, but it still doesn't solve their main problem done the middle. Hopefully, in addition to a skilled winger, we can finally get that coveted large/skilled center (but from where?). Maybe Bonk will finally show up...hey, one can always hope.
As for defence, I like Witt but another alternative D-man to look at is Danny Markov. He is a gritty player who isn't afraid of laying out the body and I believe would fit in well with our line up. |

| "...but Gainey is trying to land Richard Zednik in the deal."
Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Richard Zednik already with the Canadiens? Why would Gainey be trying to land him in a deal?
Also, Detroit is definitely not interested in David Aebiesher as Chris Osgood's playoff and regular season numbers are better than his - and they just re-signed him as a back-up!
I suspect that the Wings will either acquire Belfour or Hasek, or stand pat with Osgood and bring up Jimmy Howard to back him up. |

| | Its sad but true, no one wants to play in Montreal. Reasons: Higher taxes, everyone speaks french, and to much pressure and bullshit from Canadiens fans. Good luck though. |

| | Simply put, the habs missed the boat and now it's too late to do anything about it. To get caught up in the panic of being left behind and signing for the sake of signing is ludicrous and Gainey is too smart for that. I'd expect Bob to make a few tweaks through free agency, probably to the defence, then pull off a slightly larger deal involving Aebischer in the coming week or so. (If Gainey manages to pull a couple of deals involving Aebischer and Zednik/Ribeiro in return for some actual roster players, he's done his job admirably.) |

| | I have been reading your postings for a while now and for the most part the postings here are great! I wanted to add my $0.02 regarding free agent signings...Every one is after Gainey to sign someone...anyone. Elias would have been nice but he was lock to stay in Jersey...Jason Arnott is overrated due to the fact that after Elias..Arnott is the only other player labelled as big name. Arnott hasn't done anything to deserve this label as a Big name player...Anyhow, I believe you will see Gainey add a name like Sykora or Witt or a trade to shake things up. I think Gainey made a statement about the club when he signed Begin, Downey and Murray...he is looking for the gritty players...Arnott has never played to his size! I feel Gainey could use the $ 5MM he saved by avoiding Arnott to add the Gritty players he desires I also predict you will see Bonk and Ribiero come to life under Carbo...hang in there guys...it's a long road! Also wanted to add...some JA's are talking about why players do not want to play in Montreal...how many habs are seeking an out through UFA...sure there is alot of pressure on the players to perform...I think we all feel that every day in our jobs...people pay for results...that is part of it. I know a couple of ex-habs personally and they all tell me there is no better "family" in sport...so JA's...stay focused on your crappy Leaf situation! |

| Theres nothing wrong with keeping cap room for the trade deadline!
Maybe they can take a page from Carolina's books?
Their team will still be better then last year if they stay the same. |

| | well it looks like another year of sweating it out. i cant see how the habs will make the playoffs, now that the bruins have significantly improved their team. with the sabres the senators and now the bruins all in the same conference their is no way possible. i hate sitting around watching other teams get better while watching "les glorieux" do nothing. i for one am losing faith in bob gainey and until he proves otherwise i would not be saddened by his departure |
