Canadiens offer Contract to Patrice Brisebois

The Montreal Canadiens could be turning to a familiar face on defence for next season.
Le Journal de Montreal reports that General Manager Bob Gainey has offered unrestricted free agent defenceman Patrice Brisebois a one-year, $700,000 contract for the 2007-08 season.
Brisebois signed a two-year, $4.5 million deal with Colorado in 2005 after the Canadiens declined to exercise an option on his previous contract.
The 36-year-old played the last two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche and missed the last 46 games of the 2006-07 season with a back injury.
The veteran blueliner had one goal and 11 assists in 33 games last year. The six-foot-two, 203-pounder has 90 goals and 301 assists in 904 career games with Colorado and Montreal, and was a member of the Canadiens' 1993 Stanley Cup-winning team.

I think this would be a good move for montreal because it is only 700 grand. He is a good defenseman who knows how to take the pressure of playing in Montreal. Brisebois please sign in Montreal.
