Pete Ross! I really want Pete's Silver Age history restored, and his implied friendship with Jo also restored. I'm not saying we need a Pete Ross in the 31st Century helping the Legion fight the Dominators--oh wait, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying! Second Adventure arc!

I wouldn't mind seeing Supergirl appear as a Legion member again, I think membership traditionally has been a much better thing for her than it has for her cousin....also, seeing Laurel Kent somehow make a reappearance as a recurring character would be awesome too.
Aside from that, I'm happy letting the Legion have as little contact with current day DC as possible to let them get on with building their own mythos..

I agree with Supergirl and Laurel Kent,razsolo.
I'd be okay if Dev-Em were to somehow comeback also.
And maybe a new Insect Queen and Elastic Lad from the Planet Lallor.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Insect Queen? I love Insect Queen!
Also it could be kind of cool if they had a whole team based on Jimmy's crazy identities...a wolfman, giant turtle guy, elastic lad, wasn't there a porcupine Jimmy at one point? They could be from a planet of predominantly redheads....the Bloodnuts of Ginga IIX..

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Laurel Kent, absolutely (along with the rest of the Academy, especially Lamprey and Nightwind!).
The suggestion that other descendents of the 21st century Krytonians are out there would also be cool. Maybe Kara and Kon, for instance, had some kids... (And even if the 'new retcon' of Kryptonians being absolutely incapable of interbreeding with humans is honored, it's obvious from the very existence of Conner Kent that this 'rule' isn't absolute, since he's got both Kryptonian and human DNA co-existing in some fanfic-worthy bit of Foe Yay.)
They don't need to be *in* the Legion, anymore than we need a Gil'Dishpan Legionnaire to enjoy the occasional prescence of a Gil'Dishpan in the story, but them being 'out there' would be neat.

I've always loved the Super-Family's silver age connections to the Legion.. Pete, Jimmy, Lana, Laurel. If they aren't fully connected to the Legion anymore, I'd like to see some 're-imagined' characters to take their spots. I liked the idea of Insect Queen and Elastic Lad being from Lallor.

For me, the less connection to the Superman mythos the better. But I know that I am in the minority with this view.

I agree, Doctor One. I would rather see some sort of Laurel Gand anyway, whether ex-Legionnaire, Cadet, villain, or innocent by-stander.

Jimmy's Legion! I love it! Maybe the Smallville exhibit could become animated.
Matrix is a really bad idea. Matrix 1) is out of continuity, and 2) is related to the whole pocket universe mess.
Insect Queen is established fairly recently as being someone else (and a villain).
Wikipedia says that the current Pete Ross knows Superman's identity and I bet it would be possible to use him, but he learned it as an adult. Unless they unretcon the past 25 years of retcons, his previous history with the Legion wouldn't work.
And I'm really against the idea of introducing modern versions of things whose original versions have been retconned out. They make things more complicated if we ever get a chance to have the original, for one thing.

Actually, the "Pocket Universe" can be used to keep some Superboy, Pete Ross, Insect Queen, etc. stories into the current Legion continuity.
If I were Paul, I'd do a story in Adventure Comics in which the Time Trapper traps a moment in time (The current continuity's Superman's past/Superboy's present) in his hour glass which eventually becomes the "Pocket Universe." The Legion steal the hour glass and keep it safe only to "peek" at it in their time to find the Earth a lifeless husk - so they'd always be fearful of what that "Universe's" fate would ultimately be. They could have adventures with that Superboy and cast that wouldn't fit into Superman's history, yet could remain in the Legion's past.
The stories about Dev-Em, Pete Ross, Insect Queen, plus "Superboy" dying & Matrix, etc. are all from the Pocket Universe.

Come to think of it, so can Hypertime, since DC seem to have decided it actually exists again.
