Breezer is getting too old
Part of his future with the Canadiens may depend on the negotiations with Mark Streit. If the Habs lose Streit, Sergei Kostitsyn will most likely play the point alongside Markov during the powerplay. But then, the Habs still need someone to fill the hole on the powerplay's second wave. Brisebois played it to perfection during the playoffs, but Carbonneau might be inclined to use Josh Gorges alongside Roman Hamrlik. Gorges has grown into a reliable puck-mover but there are still questions concerning his play as an offensive defenseman whereas everyone knows what to expect with Brisebois.
Personally, I think it'd be best for him to retire. He would have finished his career on a high and the Canadiens could give his spot to one of the minor-leaguers. The Habs are starting to have too many defensemen in the pipeline, and, as such, it wouldn't be fair to keep an old piece of body like Brisebois around when a young defenseman could use the experience.
