UFA Watch: Enforcer Georges Laraque Signs With The Montreal Canadiens

July 8th 2008 17:34
Georges Laraque
The Rock
After being the Pittsburgh Penguins' bodyguard during the 2007-2008 season, tough guy George Laraque will spend the next three years fulfilling the same role with the Canadiens – a team that relies heavily on skills and lack physical toughness. A Montreal-native who vowed to never play for the Canadiens because of fan and media pressure, Laraque finally changed his mind and signed a $4.5 million contract with the Habs. Since coach Carbonneau always rolls four lines during games, Laraque better be ready to play more minutes than usual. Furthermore, his 6'3'' frame and 243 lbs will make him a nice addition to the Canadiens' powerplay where he'll be able to mask the opposing goalie and tap in any rebound.


The Canadiens also signed goaltender Marc Denis to a one-year, two-way contract after the departure of Yann Danis. An NHL veteran, Denis will serve as a back-up solution to Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak in the big club while also supporting Cédrick Desjardins in the AHL.
