The Montreal Canadiens have extended qualifying offers to their six restricted free agent forwards, centres Tomas Plekanec and Kyle Chipchura, wingers Christopher Higgins, Guillaume Latendresse, Matt D'Agostini and Greg Stewart.

 

Plekanec was the leading scorer of that group, tallying 39 points in 80 games in 2008-2009. Latendresse and Higgins missed time with injuries and produced 26 points and 23 points, respectively, while D'Agostini finished with 21 points in 53 games after getting called up.

 

Chipchura and Stewart played most of the season with the Hamilton Bulldogs in American Hockey League.

The Canadiens have this afternoon traded forward Christopher Higgins and defence prospect to the New York Rangers for centre Scott Gomez in a multiplayer deal.

 

Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey announced the acquisition of Gomez along with forward Tom Pyatt and defenceman Michael Busto from the Rangers, in return for Higgins and McDonagh, Pavel Valentenko and Doug Janik.

The question entering free agency frenzy was how many All-Star defensemen could the Montreal Canadiens lose in the shortest amount of time. By the end of the day, Canadiens proved they could move the total to three in three years, losing Michael Komisarek on top of Sheldon Souray and Mark Streit.

 

The Canadiens ended the day losing just Michael Komisarek to the enemy while adding Jaroslav Spacek, Hal Gill and Mike Cammalleri on top of getting Scott Gomez the day before.

 

Questions arouse of if the Canadiens improved or just took one giant step to the side. Adding veterans with large contracts who aren’t superstars while having tons of youth ready to enter the NHL questions what direction the Canadiens are heading into towards with such a young goaltender. Going into free agent day, Canadien fans were in uproar but soon calmed down as Bob Gainey added some replacement pieces.

wow that is like a new team

Yeah it was a good move getting a fresh start as we've went through so many coaches with the same results. Only player he wanted to keep ran for the hills and grabbed the best dollar out there which is perfectly fine if you weren't a Montreal Canadien signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Both Pearn and Groulx, who were hired Monday, have worked with Martin in the past.
