THE LAST TIME BOB GAINEY SOUGHT MY ADVICE ON ANYTHING WAS THE 1975 PRIX D'ETE HARNESS RACE. HE WAS LOOKING FOR A BETTING WINNER. I GAVE HIM FULL BENEFIT OF MY HANDICAPPING EXPERTISE AND THEN THE HORSE FINISHED SOMEWHERE SOUITH OF PLATTSBURGH. FOR SOME REASON BOB HAS TURNED AND RUN THE OTHER WAY EVERY TIME I'VE TRIED TO OFFER ADVICE.
STILL UNDAUNTED, I PRESENT SOME IDEAS FOR THE FREE AGENT SIGNING PERIOD STARTING JULY 1ST. IT'S EASY TO BRING UP THOSE TWO BUFFALO CENTREMEN BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE FAR TOO EXPENSIVE.
IF THE CANADIENS NEED A BIG CENTREMAN...AND IT'S CLEAR THEY DO...THEY MIGHT TAKE A HARD LOOK AT TORONTO'S NIK ANTROPOV...ALL 6'6" AND 230 POUNDS. I KNOW HE'S HAD THOSE INJURIES INCLUDING 2 MAJOR KNEE RECONSTRUCTIONS..BUT IF HE'S SOUND HE COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SO COULD ROBERT LANG OF THE RED WINGS. 7 YEARS AGO LANG CENTRED KOVALEV AND STRAKA FOR WHAT WAS CALLED THE BEST SECOND LINE IN THE NHL, WE'VE GOT TO FIND SOME WAY TO MAKE ALEXEI KOVALEV HAPPY, THIS MIGHT BE IT. THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE LIKE 6'5" MICHAL HANDZUS...A RIGHT WINGER. A KNEE INJURY KEPT HIM OUT OF ALL-BUT 8 GAMES LAST YEAR IN CHICAGO. WHEN SHELDON SOURAY SIGNS WITH LOS ANGELES OR SAN JOSE OR WHEREVER, THE CANADIENS WILL NEED DEFENSIVE HELP. BOB, HOW ABOUT DEFENSEMEN ANDY SUTTON IN ATLANTA, BRAD STUART FROM CALGARY AND DANNY MARKOV WHO WAS PLUS 25 IN DETROIT LAST SEASON. JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS BOB.
AND REMEMBER BOB...I HAVE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ADVICE TO OFFER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL. AND THE ADVICE IS FREE. AND WORTH ABOUT THAT MUCH.
