Travis Moen Signs in Montreal
MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey announced today the signing of forward Travis Moen to a three-year contract (2009-10 to 2011-12).

"Travis Moen is a character player. He is versatile, and he plays hard. His size and style will contribute to adding physicality to our team," said Bob Gainey.

Last season, the 6-2, 215-pound left-winger took part in 82 regular-season contests with the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks. Moen registered 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists), 91 penalty minutes and 101 shots on goal while blocking 78 shots and delivering 171 hits. In five NHL seasons, the 27-year-old amassed 56 points (29 goals, 27 assists), served 487 penalty minutes and fired 402 shots on goal in 362 regular-season games, with the Chicago Blackhawks, the Anaheim Ducks, and the San Jose Sharks.

A native of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Moen was a member of the 2007 Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks, scoring 12 points (7 goals, 5 assists) in 21 playoff games. In the 2009 playoffs, he led the San Jose Sharks in hits (16). Moen has appeared in 42 career playoff contests, scoring 15 points (9 goals, 6 assists) and serving 36 penalty minutes.

Moen was selected in the fifth round by the Calgary Flames, 155th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

Great signing. I hate the Habs with a passion but you can't bash them for this move.

Glad to see Montreal add a guy who will bring something to the Northeast rivalries, especially with Toronto beefing up. On the flip side, Detroit misses the boat again, Moen would have been a perfect fit.

Kenny Holland misses out on another .. The Toronto/Montreal games and Boston/Montreal games should be interesting.

can't bash Moen, great team player, this guy and Kosto (which i hope they bring back) could be a pretty awesome checking line.

Habs:
Moen
Laraque
Gill
Mara
Stewart

Leafs:
Orr
Mayers
Oreskovic
Komisarek
Schenn
Exelby
Greenop
Beauchemin
Finger

Should I be sobbing?

aside from Orr and Mayers, none of the other guys are real fighters and only drop the mitts on occasion, i get a feeling the buds may try to calm Schenn down so he doesn't get hurt in a fight, he's valuable.
