MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens have signed goaltender David Aebischer to a one-year contract.

As per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Aebischer, 28, played in seven games with the Canadiens the past season, recording four wins and a 3.73 goals-against average. With the Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche in 2005-06, Aebischer ended the season, his fifth in the NHL, with an overall record of 29 wins, 17 losses and two overtime losses in 50 games. He posted a goals-against-average of 3.09, a .899 save percentage and recorded three shutouts.

Aebischer, a native of Fribourg, Switzerland, was acquired on March 8, 2006, in return for goaltender Jose Theodore.

I still think they will move him sometime this summer!
