MONTREAL—Danny Briere is leaving his new home in the Philadelphia area for his native Quebec.

"The Montreal Canadiens have announced that the team has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Briere.
The 35-year-old forward was bought out by the Philadelphia Flyers last week.
He had reportedly narrowed his list of potential destinations to the Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators.
Briere, a native of Gatineau, Que., has 282 goals and 373 assists in 847 career NHL games."


Plommer is thrilled! Habs get smaller, softer and older with this acquisition.

Love the guy but yeah we'll take Vinny over him.

 

[Matty]

No shit bacon. I don't hate this move 'cause it seems to announce another trade (we have too many C's now). We might move Desharnais or Plekanec for a bigger winger. Hopefully.

Bienvenue Daniel! Don't fok it up pal.

 

[reno cool]

I like it. Seems like a Canadien type. Now to get rid of Subban.

 

[Matty]

Now to get rid of Subban.

 

[bacon]

You guys be nice to his kids now, this is a tough transition for them.

Love you, miss you Danny B.

 

[PuckOff]

yes Montreal certainly doesn't get any bigger or tougher with this signing that's for sure. Just another small player for the Buds to push around again.

 

[Matty]

I hope they play Briere on the wing and get rid of Gionta. Give the C to Pleky.

 

[Blitty]

Subban will be the first nagger captain..

 

[PuckOff]

I actually think that Subban is finally maturing adn will be the future captain of the Habs. He's a good interview and a good player. Just need to grow up and stop fighting with his teammates.

 

[PuckOff]

A little over 90 minutes to go for the floodgates to open up. Welcome home David Clarkson!!! Just what the doctor ordered for my Leafs. Leadership, grit and toughness.

 

[Matty]

Good player? Subby does everything. He's already a monster.

He's several years away from being named captain IMO. Loose cannon.

 

[PuckOff]

He's starting to mature. I say he's 3 years away from being named team capitan

 

[Blitty]

Horcoff getting sent to Dallas.

 

[Matty]

He's starting to mature. I say he's 3 years away from being named team capitan

Sounds about right.

 

[Matty]

Alfredsson signs with the Wings?!?

 

[bacon]

I feel like with everything else going on in the league this thread is the most attention the Brierre signing will get. Someone should link him.

 

[PuckOff]

Apparently the Sens offered Alfie a blank cheque, but he's decided to move on. Strange. There was either a falling out or he truely believes that the team has no chance of a cup in the next season or couple seasons.
