Sakic, goes without saying, and I'd like us to re-sign Huet, or "Hewie" as Mr. Higgins would say, and the Cube. Just gotta love the little guy...

Kelly Hrudey calls him "Chris Hewitt".  Huet's mother must cringe when she hears that.

My wish list


1) resign huet


2) find a way to get RFA Brad Richards to sign an offer sheet(tampa can't have 16-18 million wrapped into three forwards)


3) a solid 3-4 dman (Jay Mckee, Brendan Witt type or other similar guy) n


4) 1+2+3= Legitimate Stanley Cup threat.

And-o would be amazed if many of the top tier guys actually made it to the free-market.


Besides, Gainey has shown a propensity to lean towards the grittier second and third teir guys.


And-o would be just absolutely tickled to see Gainey make a serious offer to Jamie Langenbrunner, Willie Mitchell and Alyn McCauley.  Of course Bob could make And-o happy by landing either Jason Arnott (at a reduced rate)...or Victor Kozlov.


...And-o thinks you are only kidding yourselves when talking about guys like Sakic, Chara or Jovo-cop though!!!

I think we will see Richards or Lecavlier in a habs uni. Just a feeling. Gainey ain't gonna sign an old goat...he is building this team and Richards/Lecavlier are both young.


Price might be steep...could even include pprospects like Price(they need goaltending) and Chipchura( we have Higgins who is cut from a similar cloth) as well as a first rounder+Bulis+Ribby...

My vote goes to Pavel Kubina or Brendan Witt. I would also love to see Selanne with Koivu.

I see us bringing up Kostitsyin and Latendresse, so I think Gainey will look for a top Center and a top D and maybe a depth winger. I think the best fit for us at center is Arnott, as he meets all our needs there. I like our D, but I want to add one more top-four body. I would love Rob Blake for 2-3 years until one of our youngsters is ready to come up from the minors. He would give us a real fiery champion who does everything well.

The question was what we'd like, not what we saw happening, right. I'd like to see world peace, the end of poverty, etc, etc...

 Actually Gainey will probably keep doing what he has been.....TINKERING. I don't think He'll go from Downey to Lecavilier. I think he'll stay away from the big signing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see BG try to add a star or two to the team for next year. Now, if the Habs win the Cup this year things may change. But assuming that they don't and there's thought to be room for improvement in the lineup, here would be my personal wish-list:

Forwards:

Selanne -- as people have said, he and Saku are close and played great together at The Olympics. Can Saku talk him into coming to Mtl? Can Gillette's wallet? Hope so.

Elias -- one of the most consistent performers in the league. NJ will never let him go, and we'd have to pay way too much to get him, but this is one guy I'd absolutely love to see in a Habs uni

Defense:

Lidstrom -- who wouldn't want this guy... but the Red Wings will give him anything to keep him

Witt -- definitely a solid player and would be a good addition

Corvo -- I've only seen a few LA games this year, but this guy has looked solid in his own end. Don't know what he'd cost but worth checking out

Wesley -- never thought I'd want to see a former Bruin in a Montreal jersey, but this guy has really matured over the years and plays a good two-way game

Goal:

Gerber -- he's Huet in a different sweater

Of course, I would want to re-sign Huet and Bulis. Depending on who else we picked up on D I might or might not re-sign Cube. I like his hustle and enthusiasm, but all too often he gets burned down low.

If we could add a proven, playmaking forward who can score (like an Elias or Selanne) and a solid defenseman (like Witt or Wesley) and keep Huet and keep him healthy, I think this team would have the nucleus to go a long way in years to come as some of the young guys mature.

Now if only we had a spare twenty million bucks and a little more cap room...

Les Canadiens sont la
