Habs Perezhogin signs with Russian team
The Montreal Gazette reports that Alexander Perezhogin has signed a contract with Salavat Yulayev Ufa in the Russian Super League.
Perezhogin's agent Don Meehan told the paper that Perezhogin will net $1.7 million U.S.
"That works out to about $3.4 million gross in the NHL and it's unlikely the Montreal Canadiens could match that," Meehan told the Gazette.
Perezhogin earned $627,000 last season.
Perezhogin had six goals and nine assists in 61 games last season, and was a team-high plus-11. He 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.

RE: Habs Perezhogin signs with Russian team
He hasn't been the same since his one year suspension when he was in the American league. I predict that he will come back in a couple of years after he will have built enough confidence to play again in the NHL. He's a very talented player, and I am sure he will do well in Russia next year.
