Spacek to the Canadiens

Posted by Kevin Paul Dupont, Globe Staff July 1, 2009 03:35 PM

Veteran blueliner Jaroslav Spacek, among the names the Bruins considered plucking out of today's free-agent feeding frenzy, agreed to a three-year deal with the Canadiens this aftrernoon that will bring him a total $11.5 million.

Even though he is 35 years old, Spacek's deal exceeds the three-year $10 million pact he just concluded with Buffalo, where he led the Sabres last season in average time on ice.

Sources in Buffalo and Montreal confirmed the deal.

  1. Considering Spacek's injury record, what is Gainey thinking? The guy hardly ever makes it through the season. Are they just trying to throw money away?

  1. Komizarek to Boston. Barf.

    After all of the postings questioning his manhood, etc., how would ti ever work.

    He probably considers Boston the safest place for him since Lucic will be onhis team.
