CANADIENS SIGN STREIT

Defenceman Mark Streit is returning to the Montreal Canadiens to a one-year contract. The Canadiens did not release the value of the deal, but multiple reports claim it’s worth US$700,000. Streit was selected in the ninth round, 262nd overall by the Canadiens at the 2004 NHL draft. He played his first three NHL seasons in Montreal before joining the New York Islanders as a free agent.
