Hab-it Forming


The Montreal Canadiens have signed Brian Gionta to a 5 year, $25 Million dollar contract.

Gionta was an important part of the New Jersey franchise since his draft date. Last year he helped the Devil’s capture their divisional title and contributed 60 points in 81 games. Leaving the defence first Devil’s should help Gionta and his fantasy value.

Fantasy Outlook: Four seasons removed from his 48 goal season, Gionta is still a player that can contribute on a nightly basis. Paired with his old friend Gomez in Montreal should reignite the chemistry he had back when he had his best season. Look for Gionta to repeat his 60 points as a minimum and he may hit the 70 point mark. Draft him in the early middle rounds as he is still young and healthy and may have keeper value if he can exceed 60 points.
