The Montreal Canadiens were busy with contract work on Monday, re-signing defenceman Mike Komisarek to a one-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The 24-year-old Komisarek began living up to his first-round billing last season with a solid season, putting up 116 penalty minutes along with six points in 71 games.
The former Michigan star was taken by the Canadiens in the first-round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
Since he has limited experience, I think it was a good move signing a 1 year deal. A good adjustment year. A contract year with 82 to games to prove he deserves 3 yrs at a bundle. I trust Gainey with the youth movement deals.
