Habs Add Gionta

After doing a team update for the Mike Cammalleri signing, I hesitate to do another one here, but the Canadiens have made yet another splash in the free agent market this week, by adding Brian Gionta to the mix, signing him to a 5-year, $25 million deal, adding more speed and scoring ability to the team.

Gionta played in 81 games in 2009, scoring 20 goals and adding 40 assists with the Devils. He will be relied upon to bring that sort of offense on a consistent basis to this Montreal team in 2010.
