habscout Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Based on Brisebois' rants in this RDS article [below], it sounds like he's bitter over the Habs not picking up his option. At least Gainey's comments about it left a door open to possibly resigning him, but now I'm glad to hear that Breezy doesn't want to stay in Montreal. This was a defenceman that was supposed to have offensive skills, but any season he excelled in that respect, his defence suffered badly. When he concentrated on defence, his offence suffered badly. There's no way in the new NHL cap environment that he was worth the kind of money his option year would have given him. He'll be fortunate to be picked up by another NHL team for $1M/season. I can guarantee two teams that won't pick him up are NJ & Minn. since both have hockey execs that know how bad Breezy is. http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/184278.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
