-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Canadiens sign Travis Moen to a 4-year contract: MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced today the signing of forward Travis Moen to a four-year contract (2012-13 to 2015-16). As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. “Travis brings tremendous leadership to our club, and is very appreciated from his teammates. He expressed his desire to remain with the Canadiens organization and we are very happy to have come to an agreement with him before July 1st. He has a lot of experience and brings a physical presence to our group of forwards,” said Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin. Moen, 30, completed his eighth season in the NHL in 2011-12, his third with the Canadiens. In 48 games, the left winger notched 16 points (9 goals, 7 assists). One of his goals was scored on the penalty kill. Moen registered 45 shots on goal, 75 hits and served 41 penalty minutes, while averaging 15:42 seconds of ice time per game. Moen suffered a season-ending upper body injury on February 9 against the Islanders at Long Island. Since his debut in 2003-04, Moen has registered 107 points (52 goals, 55 assists) in 570 NHL regular-season games. The 6’2’’, 210 lbs forward has recorded 681 penalty minutes. Moen has scored one of his goals on the powerplay. He has accumulated 19 points (11 goals, 8 assists) in 68 career NHL playoff contests, winning the Stanley Cup in 2007 with the Anaheim Ducks. A native of Stewart Valley, Saskatchewan, Moen first signed with the Canadiens as a free agent on July 10, 2009. http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=636517 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Definitely would have been a Gillis target. But you don't let players like him go. Not really surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButterBean Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Didn't think we'd sign him anyways. He would've most likely been playing on our 4th line and this is a good for Montreal to keep some toughness in their bottom 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombastik der Teutone Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 good deal for both sides..wish he was a canuck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop Em Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Would have liked to have seen the guy in a Nucks uniform. Good cap hit as far as the money is concerned but the length of the contract is a little longer than what I would have thought that he'd get.
