It was widely speculated early Thursday afternoon but it has now been confirmed that forward Daniel Briere has inked a two year, $8M deal to join the Montreal Canadiens.
Although the UFA market for defence is rather weak, this years’ crop of free agent forwards is deeper in certain categories.
After their struggles in the postseason, many fans are hopeful that Marc Bergevin will find a way to improve the defence in free agency.
