Ryder signs with Habs
TSN.ca has just reported that Montreal has signed RFA Michael Ryder to a one year deal. No word yet on how much he has received, but it is most certainly a raise from the $1 million he received last year.
I wonder what Gainey’s motivation for inking Ryder for only a one eyar deal is. I know that he will still be restricted after this year, but why won’t he put faith in this young gun with so much potenchal?
However, it is good to see that he still got him signed before the arbitration hearing.
