After a dozen seasons with the Minnesota North Stars and Dallas Stars, Bob Gainey returned home in May 2003.
Team captain for eight of his 16 seasons in Montreal, Gainey took over from Andre Savard as General Manager.
The team was in a rebuilding phase and, for the first time since the mid-1990s, the Habs had a solid stock of prospects in place. Gainey inherited an offense led by captain Saku Koivu, Richard Zednik and Yanic Perreault and a defense that boasted rising star Andrei Markov, Sheldon Souray and Craig Rivet.
Gainey stayed the course ahead of the 2003-04 season. He would put his first stamp on the team in March 2004. To this day, in one of the biggest trades he’s made as Habs GM, Gainey acquired Alex Kovalev from the New York Rangers in exchange for Jozef Balej.
While Kovalev’s impact on the team wasn’t evident through the end of the regular season, the veteran winger showed exactly why Gainey acquired him that spring, helping the Canadiens reach the second round of the playoffs.
Despite a lockout-cancelled 2004-05 campaign, Gainey continued to put his mark on the club at the 2005 draft. Holding the fifth overall selection, the team selected goaltender Carey Price, even though Jose Theodore was still in the fold. It wouldn’t be long before his decision would prove to be the right one.
The return of hockey for the 2005-06 season saw a number changes in personnel. Mathieu Dandenualt, Radek Bonk and Cristobal Huet made their Canadiens debuts, while youngsters Christopher Higgins, Tomas Plekanec and Mike Komisarek, among others, were given the opportunity to break through.
The youth movement continued over the next few seasons, with Mike Ribeiro, Michael Ryder, Sheldon Souray and Craig Rivet making way for Andrei Kostitsyn, Sergei Kostitsyn, Guillaume Latendresse and Josh Gorges.
In 2007-08 and 2008-09, Gainey looked to both the free agent and trade markets for three key additions – defenseman Roman Hamrlik, heavyweight George Laraque and left-winger Alex Tanguay.
On February 8, 2010, Gainey stepped down as Habs GM and was replaced by Pierre Gauthier.
