Zetterberg_is_god 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2007 tsn.ca/nhl He's getting a 1 year 2.95M contract. The Habs now have everybody they need under contract depending on what they decide to do about Brisebois. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 If Montreal is out of the race - very possible considering they havent really done much this off-season but replace Souray with Hammer and many EC teams got better - Ryder is easily on the block. Hes been dogged in Montreal, and I wouldnt be surprised if the only reason either side went with a 1 year contract was because they both want to be done with one another. No doubt Ryder will be sold off either at the deadline or even during the season if Montreal is having trouble. At the very least, hes a viable option for a good top 6 goal scoring Winger who just essentially became a 2008 UFA. Im sure the Wings will take a look.

KrazyGangsta 79 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 I agree with young guns... 1 year deal ... habs are more getting ready for re-building ... well their doing it now actually they did sign ryder and will trade him on trade deadline for some picks ... its not going to cheap tho ... anyways montreal downgraded this offseason ... i dont know how their going to replace souray's offensive numbers or rivet defensive play ... hamrlik ... is an okay defensemen not great tho ...

SweWings 45 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 A good deal for Montreal - he's cheap and will be easy to move if their game messes up, as long as his doesn't . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
