The Montreal Canadiens have secured almost all of their restricted free agents for the 2006-07 season, agreeing to terms with forward Alexander Perezhogin on a one-year contract.


Perezhogin, 22, will earn $627,000 in 2006-07. He earned $710,600 last season.

The Russian forward played 67 games in his first season with the Canadiens, scoring nine goals and 19 points.

He was taken 25th overall by the Montreal at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.

The signing leaves forward Michael Ryder as the team's only remaining restricted free agent. Ryder elected to go to salary arbitration and is set to have a hearing later this summer.

I don't understand how some people are earning less, while ribs gets a raise, thats the only thing that boggles my mind.

Unless...ribs wanted a longer contract, and Gainey didn't want to be stuck with him for longer, so he opted to give him more money so that he wouldn't have ribs for longer than this season.....

This seems a pretty big drop in salary to me.Still glad he's re-signed though.

He needs some more time to develop, but I believe he has the potential to be a 20-30 goal scorer.

I agree Jay. As I said earlier, the new era with Carbo et al was supposed to usher in a no-nonsense work your butt off and be rewarded system..yet some guys get huge raises that do not deserve it and guys like Ryder are forced to go to arbitration to get what they should be getting paid...what message does that send?

as with higgins i suspect perz salary included his rookie signing bonus , thats why it looks like higgins is earning less where as he is earning the same but the signing bonus isnt counting against the cap .
