Steve Montador Agrees to Terms With Buffalo
Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent defenseman Steve Montador on a two-year contract.

Montador (12/21/1979, 6’, 210 lbs.) had 21 points (4+17) in 78 combined games for Boston and Anaheim last season, along with 143 PIMs and was a +17. He also contributed three points and 18 PIMs in 11 playoff games with the Bruins.

A native of Vancouver, B.C., the 29-year-old Montador has 68 points (18+50) and 604 PIMs in 368 career games with Boston, Anaheim, Florida and Calgary.

Montador was originally signed by Calgary as an undrafted free agent on April 10, 2000, following a four-year OHL career with North Bay, Erie and Peterborough.

Sounds about right money wise.

I liked Montador but am happy to see him gone. He's tough and gritty but oh God how he scared me when he had the puck in his own end.

Pretty good deal. The Sabres need more size and toughness, so Montador is a good defenseman for them to get. They still need a legit enforcer though.

(And Montador is better than Matt Walker but yet Walker still gets more money. Shows how stupid Tampa Bay is)...

I wouldn't say that. Montador has more offensive upside, sure, but Walker is way more sound in his own end as well as being the more superior fighter.

LMAO that made me crack up. I almost spit out my lunch. Seriously, Montador must have a death wish. Cam Janssen owned him, Orr will use him as a warm up.

Hes a UFA and honestly.. hes not the bomb-thrower he once was. He could probably pound anyone on this site, but with who is in the HeavyWeight division of the NHL.. hes not even close to being a top 10 or top 15 anymore.

With Monty, Kassian and a few of the other players, Buffalo *MIGHT* become more gritty this year.

great signing for Buffalo... in a day of age where any half decent D man gets 3+ million... somehow Montador who can play ANd provides toughness continues to sign very reasonable contracts.... he played for 850,000 last year!!

great team guy would love him on Detroit

You think Kassian will be in Buffalo this year?

At least this Sabre will shed the mits, sure he'll get pounded after the mits are gone, but at least they'll pick up some more FMs.
