Canadians Likely To Get A New Addition To Players MONTREAL (AP) The Montreal Canadiens, who lost a veteran star Wednesday and are expected to gain a highscoring youngster today, may also have a new coach before the day's National Hockey League activity ends. The Canadiens, who called a news conference Wednesday to announce the retirement of 18-season veteran Jean Beliveau, scheduled another one for today, reportedly to announce the replacement of Al MacNeil, who coached the team to the Stanley Cup championship in his rookie year. MacNeil, who took over as coach from Claude Ruel early in the season, was the target of criticism by fans and players. It peaked in the playoffs when veteran center Henri Richard called MacNeil "incompetent" and "the worst coach I ever played for." But when Montreal beat Chicago for the title--with Richard scoring the win- ning goal in the decisive seventh game --he said his outburst had come in the heat of battle and that he hoped MacNeil would remain as coach. And there are repeated reports that the Canadians' coaching job will go to Scotty Bowman, former coach and genera! manager of the St.

Louis Blues. The Canadiens have refused to confirm or deny the reports. The Canadiens, with three picks, including the No. 1 selection, in the first round of today's amateur draft, were expected to lead off by taking Guy Lafleur, who had 130 goals and 79 assists lasljseason for Ihe Quebec Ramparts of the Junior A Hockey League. But if he makes it with Montreal, he'll have a long way to go to match the magnificent Beliveau, who recorded 507 goals and 712 assists for 1,219 points in 1,125 regular-season games.
