RDS is reporting that Thomas Plekanec has signed a two year deal with the Canadiens. I didn't think he would be around this year but maybe Gainey and co. believe in him and expect him to make the team out of camp.

Considering Koivu's injury history and age, it may not be a bad idea to see what the market is like next summer. I love Koivu but despite his heart and skill, the habs need a top centerman that can be counted on to play more than 60 games a season.

Koivu has signed for one year. The value of teh contract was not stated but the one year deal paves the way for Saku to enter unrestricted free agency next summer. Perhaps Saku is thinking about testing teh waters next year or maybe Gainey is hoping to bring in a top notch young centerman via free agency next summer? I guess time will tell.
