Please unload the hell outta Gorges and find us an upgrade.
Would not mind a good top 6 winger but that might be stretching the purse thin unless other moves are made (moen, budaj, etc).

My cap runneth over
Ideally Iginla and a top 4 D.
Realistically robidas or dan Boyle and some 35+ forward like Briere last year.

Told this morning that chances of Brian Gionta staying in Montreal are fading. #SNsigningseason

Bergevin still hasn't earned the boards trust in the way that we should know that he will never overpay for a guy like Boyle.

Waiving Gorges would be extremely stupid. We keep part of his cap hit and lose him for nothing. 100% loss of a good roster player.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Targets:
Thomas Vanek - I know he failed in his play-offs here and we weren't going to offer him a contract. He's still the most talented player in the UFA class and it would make sense to keep monitoring the situation in case he wants to come back for cheap.
Jarome Iginla - We have a hole at RW. At a short term we should kick tires at Iginla. He still proved he can produce and we need help at RW.
Paul Stastny - You should always take a look at an offer for the best center on the market. Likely too expensive and would cause a glutton of moves to have to happen to clear space. But, kick tires none-the-less.
Matt Moulson - He's a LW which we are stacked on but he can score and may come cheaper than other alternatives on the market. I would kick tires.
Radim Vrbata - A RW who I think is underrated and shouldn't command too much term or money. I think he'd be a great compliment on Plekanec's wing.
David Legwand - Same situation as Stastny.. I'd kick tires but nothing substantial.
Matt Niskanen - A young D on the market. He will price his way out but again, kick tires and see where we are at.
Ales Hemsky - Kick tires on this RWer. He can produce in an offensive role.
Milan Michalek - Not a need, can go either way, kick tires.
Dan Boyle - Help on the right side of the defense, experience and offense.
Dustin Penner - Big body forward.. I'd kick tires as he seems to have resurrected his career somewhat.
Mikhail Grabovski - No room for him, I've just always loved him. Selfish inquiry.
Lee Stempniak - Not a big fan but if the RW pile is picked over, he can fill the hole.
Christian Ehrhoff - If we can get him for a discount due him being bought out, I'll take a look.
Tom Gilbert - Right handed Defense for depth on the right side.
Martin Havlat - Injury prone, still talented, would kick tires for help on RW.
Nikolai Kulemin - He would help on the RW and would be a smart pick-up to play with Eller.
David Booth - For cheap, I'd give him a change of scenery.
Anton Stralman - Help on the right side of the D.
Fiddler, Goc, Moore, Boyle - 4th line center duty..
Mike Weaver - I would bring him back for the RD.
This is list is getting long and I'm bored of typing it, there's some other intriguing names out there.

Nope, if someone claims him off waivers (which they will), they would take 100% of his salary

exactly we can go 10% over the cap( which more than Gorges salary ) if need be. Doesn t stop us from making the moves that we want to make today. should be easy enough to find a spot for a top 4 defenseman later.

Of the list I would like
Not on the list I would like Brooks Orpik but only if Georges go. As for the Boyle or Robidas... depends of the terms.

@EricEngels: I haven't nailed down who it is, but was told #habs are signing a top 9 fwd today. And no, it's certainly NOT Jarome Iginla.

Have a feeling it is Richards or Vrbata. Richards chat has been very quiet. He is still a good player, just not a 7 million dollar one.
