David Abeschier Resigns with Habs

Quote:

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.

In his career, Aebischer, a 6'1'', 185-pound goaltender, has played in 181 NHL games. His overall record is 93 wins, 61 losses, 12 ties and two overtime losses, with a 2.40 goals-against-average and a .914 save percentage. He has registered 13 shutouts.

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

Before he signed samsonov and traded zednik, I would say that it's for trade abeischer that he sign it. But now, I just think that he want to have 2 superb goalie!!

RE: David Abeschier Resigns with Habs

I've never looked at Aebischer as a "superb" goalie. That's quite a bit of money though... he will definitely be cutting in on Huet's time if he doesn't end up being traded. I'm not going to be so quick to call this a great signing however, unless Huet has a poor season or Aebischer actually ends up having some trade value.
