Part two of our deadline preview series focuses on the goaltenders and defencemen.
Although the opponents based on the standings were supposed to be easy, the past week was anything but for the Habs who managed just one win in three games against non-playoff teams.
The Habs picked up a faceoff specialist on Saturday afternoon, claiming centre Jeff Halpern off of waivers from the New York Rangers.
On Wednesday, the Habs announced that defenceman Francis Bouillon has agreed to a one year extension through the 2013-14 season.
The announcement that David Desharnais had signed a four year, $14 million extension with the Habs last week came as a shocker to pretty much everyone.
The Habs just keep getting it done. Another two games, another two wins, and another week the team sits atop the Northeast Division.
Less than twelve hours after capping off his year with a season high-tying three assist effort, defenceman Darren Dietz inked a three year, entry level deal with the Habs on Sunday morning.
Several forwards played a key role in the Habs’ second quarter success, one that saw them earn a point in eleven of twelve games.
Marc Bergevin can scratch one item off of his summer to-do list as the club announced Friday morning that David Desharnais has signed a four year extension with the team through the 2016-17 season.
