MONTREAL (CP) - The Montreal Canadiens and right-winger Michael Ryder avoided arbitration by agreeing to a US$2.95-million, one-year contract Sunday.
Ryder's hearing was set for Monday in Toronto. He made US$2.2 million last season. The Canadiens now have all their players under contract for 2007-08. Ryder played in all 82 games last season, led the team with 30 goals and added 28 assists to go with 60 penalty minutes. The native of Bonavista, N.L., has 176 points (85 goals, 91 assists) in 244 career NHL games since making his debut in 2003-04. ![]()

Good sign Gainey. Wonder why he only signed one year and for so cheap.

He probably deserves 3.5 to 4 million compared to what other players are making in this league.

Ryder got a good deal. Montreal got a bargain for a 30 goal scorer. Look at some of the guys making more money then him. some of them arent nearly as good as him.

This deal will be beneficial to the habs and Ryder. If it would have gone through arbitration it would have seperated Ryder from Montreal.
