random idea that came into my head since the marin hiring.
looking at floridas roster you will notice that bryan mccabe has identacall stats too the highly wanted jay boumeester. from goals too assists too plus minus its exact same just 2 assists seperate them while mccabe averaged 2 minutes less per game.
say what you whant about mccabe but he has the big shot and size that montreal could use.
however florida doesn't have a gm right now but maby something can happen there

You really need to use a spell check, especially after you've called people morons on other threads! Do you even have a clue what sentence structure or punctuation are? I've seen 3rd graders with better diction skills.
WTF is Maby?!?!?!?! It's MAYBE.
Interesting point about McCabe though! ;-)

Dude! It's apparent that I'm 10 times more capable of writing better than you can even read! Blaming typing fast is the lamest excuse I ever heard. I guarantee you I can type faster than you, more words, better spelling and puctuation and come up with a more intelligent argument. Go back to school before you prove me right! The gist of my attack on you, and yes I am going for your jugular, is that you calling people "morons" is moot considering your writing belies an IQ in the double digits.

You truly have a selective memory. I never made fun of Gainey's deceased wife. I made an analogy about what he said to the reporter's wife and bread making, which in my opinion was rude, and the comment I made, I made without realizing she passed away and I immediately apologized as it offended people. My issue with you is that you run around calling people names like "moron" and then have the audacity to spell "maybe" as "maby" and you shoot people down without ever debating their ideas. I am glad to see I've touched a nerve.

Possibly Higgins as well because he is responsible, works hard at both ends of the ice and with out the puck. He could replace somebody on the 3rd or 4th lines right now. I think Higgins's game is best suited for a Detroit style game. I think he should do well with JM tho,

For the price situation i am confident that if the canadiens are able too lure one of these 3 people too work with price that he will be better than fine next year and will quickly develop into the goaltender we expect him too be.
1 Francois allaire
2 Olaf kolzig
3 Patrick roy

A guy I work with is friends with Jim Corsi, the Sabres goaltending coach. Apparently he's from Monreal, and would be very interested in the job. I wonder if he'll contact Bob. I don't know much about him, but Sabres goaltending always seems pretty solid, and the coaching staff there seems to have it together.

HS - interesting read. Robinson would be the perfect fit as our Dman coach as he commands respect and also had an handle on both aspects of the game in terms of defense and offense. He really seems to struggle with pressure and the limelight and I also wonder if there is still some bad blood left over from his playing days. But still....
Choosing Messier is certainly thinking outside the box! He may be too intense for Martin and Gainey but he would sure put some of our candy asses in their place.
Submitted by 24 Cups on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 20:00.
Finally got around to listening to the Puckcast so here's a few quick thoughts.
- Pat Hickey doesn't visit the site often but when he does it's certainly worth the time. Always has a very realistic take on the team. Well worth the listen.
- now that we have a French speaking coach, is it really necessary to fill out the rest of the staff with Francophones?
- Bouwmeester isn't coming to Montreal and neither is Lemaire (as a consultant). Pat Hickey made that quite clear.
- I have to disagree with Mike Boone on one point that he made. He stated that Montreal's main priority would be to rebuild the defense. I still believe we need to address the centre position before we do anything else. I know I'm a bit of a broken record on this point but I really feel it's our Achilles Heel.
Submitted by nightmare_49 on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 05:35.
Steve - Lets face it, we have young studs in nets and we were suppose to support them so they can develop and we never did. Two years now and counting people have been asking for a shutdown 'D' to no avail. Obviously a big center or two with an edge will help but lets solidify our 'D' first then try to solve the center problem which may take a long time cuz of the market. I often sound like a broken record as well as others on this site but you are still king and working hard to reinforce that claim, lol.
Submitted by Captain aHab on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 20:04.
Agree with you on rebuilding...they should use their first three draft picks (at least) on the best available big C. You never know who might turn out great in later rounds.

When asked on TSN Martin said the same thing, he felt the Habs biggest glaring weakness was at centre. Better to dress 5 centres than 7 defensemen IMHO. He also spoke of the confusion in the defensive zone though.

Not sure if anybody has posted this but Péladeau was quoted as saying the following on RDS: "Gainey could've waited 2 more weeks [to name Martin as Coach] and we could then have made a joint decision on this matter"
Was this a slip of the tongue? God please anybody but Péladeau...everything he touches turns to crap. Wouldn't be long until all games are PPV.

Please Gainey please do not offer Komo more than 3 million dollars a year. Some people on this website said there are rumors about Canadiens offering a 6 million dollar/year contract!!!
That is just..garbage.
Why not let him walk away rather than spending 6 million dollars on someone useful on the ice.

Submitted by dufour on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 00:08.
I don't understand why anynbody would pay Komi $6 mil. I think he is a good player, and I am a big fan of his, but if Robyn Regehr (best stay at home D in the league IMHO) makes $3.5, there is no way that Komi should make any more than him.
Submitted by habs4_25th on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 19:33.
if he wants 6 mil. let him walk, sign beauchemin for 2-3 and we'll have a big stay at home defenceman who can hit for less.

Submitted by showey47 on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 19:40.
How about instead of letting him "walk",you trade his negotiating rights. Perhaps trade our first round pick and komi to move up in the draft? Are you not tired of letting good ufa's "walk" every year and not get anything in return? I would also do the same thing to tanguay if he has no intention of resigning. This is what i like to call asset management.
Submitted by TorontoHabsFan on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 21:39.
The only reason that a team would trade a conditional draft pick for the negotiating rights to a UFA is if there is a sizeable market for him and they feel that they can reasonably be guaranteed to sign the UFA long term.
I have yet to hear any team other than NYI that is interested in Komisarek (well I have heard Philly, but they're in no position to take on more salary), so at the moment they don't really have to give up an asset (a draft pick) for no reason.
Also, for the poster who said Beauchemin could be had for $2-$3mil/year...there's no way that he's signing with any team for less than $4.5mil/year. (and I have a rotten feeling that he's only using Mtl to drive up his value)
Submitted by habs4_25th on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 22:46.
do you think that beauchemin would be up for a 3 mil increase in pay, I really don't know about that, but hey the bruins signed ryder to 3yrs@4mil/yr, or even Huets contract of just over 5mil/yr. I had read somewhere that Beauchemin wanted to come back to montreal, so we'll see.
"To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be it yours to hold high."
Submitted by TorontoHabsFan on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 10:50.
I think that had he not come back and played great in the playoffs then he probably could be had for less...but the fact that he was a stalwart back there for Anaheim drove his value way up.
as for the increase in pay - well Komisarek is rumoured to get a $4mil+ increase in pay...and let's not forget that good D Men's contracts are always a bit inflated (Jeff Finger, I'm looking in your direction ;)
I really REALLY hope he comes back home - but the pessimist in me thinks he's using Mtl to drive up his market value (much like Laraque suggested would happen)

Good call, if we could move up for it why not. maybe swing higgins and rights to komo to the islanders and our 1st rounder for theirs.
"To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be it yours to hold high."
Submitted by Bill J on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 20:52.
Not a bad idea really... but I doubt the Islanders would do that for ONLY that
Consider Komisarek is likely headed to the Islanders ANYWAYS.... Higgins is a worthy throw in because he is a RFA and if he signs with the Islanders we get some 1st rounders from the Islanders... something I would not scoff at either...
NOW.... Say for example Komisarek & Higgins & our 1st rounder + Halak + something else.... The Islanders "might" be tempted...
But to add Tavares and lose those 4 ? I say oh HELL YEAH!.... Want to close off the 100th ? Draft 1st overall John Tavares @ this years draft IN MONTREAL! lol
I am dreaming of course... But it sure would be nice to see the Habs slide in & "steal" Tavares from under Burke's eyes... lol
Submitted by habs4_25th on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 22:47.
True, but we can all dream. and nothing would be a better dream then to steal a higher pick than the leafs for sure.

Submitted by G-Man on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 18:55.
Martin's contract matches the term of every US president. Unless, of course, he lasts until February, having "lost the room."
This means a youth movement led by some capable vets like Markov and... well, let's make that a capable vet. The Habs need a high draft choice impact player or 3 and there's only one way to do that. Lose, and often. The present "nucleus" isn't capable of winning anything, anyway. They don't have the work ethic or the desire to win that is essential to success. Puck pressure like we've seen in the semis and finals so far are light years away from how the 08/09 Habs played, you would have needed the enhanced Hubble Telescope to see it.

DOn't get to excited about which prospect the Habs will draft this year. Gainey is tired of prospects, that is why he traded the first rounder last year to the Flames.
He will trade this years first round pick for either Nathan Horton or Jordan Staal.
Submitted by old habit on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 19:01.
I doubt they will let this years 1st go anywhere. There were many reasons they traded the 1st last year, Gainey thought Tangauy was worth it and that is what Calgary wanted, Gainey thought he had a better roster than he had and thought Tangauy would boost the 1st or second line immediatly. He had in mind tak'in a run at the Cup.Plus they were picking near the bottom of the pack. Different scenario this year they may trade player's can't see draft picks however.
Submitted by Drive_For_25 on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 18:27.
Can't tell if you like this idea or not but that is exactly what I'm hoping for. Like the idea of Horton but Staal is exactly who I was thinking of. Might need to sweeten it a little with the likes of Pleks or another prospect though.
Submitted by habs4_25th on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 19:36.

I am OK with it. This is how realistically (meaning it is impossible to get Getzlaf, Carter, Eric Staal, Malkin, Zetterberg, etc.) I would like to see the Habs down the middle this year.
1st line center - Marleau - reasonalbe salary, SJ looking for changes
2nd line center - Horton - Martin connection, Fl is frustrated with him
3rd line center - Plekanek - can skate, responsible defensively
4th line center - Lapierre - hard worker, big
We have good wingers, with Martin coaching shoots will be down so the goaltending will be better.
We will have cap space to work on improving the defence (sans Brisbois)

... If skating is the most important item at the entry draft for a forward look no further: Chris Kreider ... from Lighthouse Hockey ... In the paint-by-numbers nature of media scouting reports, "skating" is always a popular knock. But what about when skating is one of a prospect's obvious strengths? Enter U.S. winger Chris Kreider (#24 by THN, #14 among N.A. skaters by Central Scouting). In the wonderful anonymous lore of pre-draft hype, THN quotes one scout saying of Kreider: "He's not just the best skater in the draft, but I'm not sure there are many guys in the NHL now who skate better than this guy."
Kreider threw up at the combine after the VO2 Max test, but "it should be noted that this doesn't weigh against Kreider in the eyes of the GMs. People generally see this as a sign that a player pushed himself to the limit."

Bryan - half the guys at the combine threw up so it's no big deal. Kreider is one of the top 3 or 4 picks that will be available when we select at #18. If we get him, then it's another step to rebuilding at the centre ice position. I am convinced we will be getting a quality player this year in the draft who will help us out in a few years.

Guy was quoted today as saying that it doesn't matter who your coach is when you have four fourth lines.

Here is a roughly translated version of the RDS.ca article on what Guy Lafleur said...
FYI google has this feature - it is quite easy to use - not perfect.... but offers a rough idea...

Not that it really matters... Lafleur only talks about the Habs so that the Media lays off HIS personal life in the Courtroom.

The party is over? I don't speak French so I'm guessing.

This paragraph says (basically) that Martin's experience, authoritarioan style and reputation... may serve him well in Montreal:
"Lafleur a aussi mentionné au quotidien de Sherbrooke que l'expérience de Jacques Martin, son style autoritaire, sa longue expérience et la réputation qui le précède pourront bien le servir à Montréal."
My French isn't great but I think that's close. Anyone have a better take on this?
