The Montreal Canadiens have signed defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron to a 1year contract.
With the injuries to Markov and O’Byrne, GM Bob Gainey needed to make a move to solidify the Habs blueline. By bringing in Bergeron, the Canadiens acquire a 28 year old with a booming slapslot that will help mostly on the powerplay.
Bergeron will require some conditioning in the AHL before he can contribute in any manner. He is worth a waiver pick-up in deeper leagues as he should take Markov’s time on the powerplay until he gets back from injury.
