7/16/2006 8:56:52 AM
The Montreal Canadiens have secured almost all of their restricted free agents for the 2006-07 season, agreeing to terms with forward Alexander Perezhogin on a one-year contract.
Perezhogin, 22, will earn $627,000 in 2006-07. He earned $710,600 last season.
The Russian forward played 67 games in his first season with the Canadiens, scoring nine goals and 19 points.
He was taken 25th overall by the Montreal at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
The signing leaves forward Michael Ryder as the team's only remaining restricted free agent. Ryder elected to go to salary arbitration and is set to have a hearing later this summer.

The Dallas Stars remain in the hunt for free agent centre Eric Lindros but, contrary to early reports, have not signed him - yet.
A Dallas Stars team source told TSN that they expect the deal to completed Monday and they are finalizing the details of the contract.
A report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said Lindros and the Stars were working on a one-year deal that would contain incentives.
"I think it's a great fit," Lindros said to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Saturday. "Looking at the roster there, knowing (head coach) Dave Tippett and (assistant coach Mark) 'Chopper' Lamb from my Philly days...I feel good about going down there and I'm looking forward to getting back on the ice."
Lindros, 33, played for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season and earned $1.55 million US, but suffered a wrist injury that limited him to just 33 games.
The Maple Leafs have offered him a one-year, $750,000 deal, according to Toronto newspapers. The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings were also mentioned as possible homes for Lindros.
Lindros was the first overall selection by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft and has played 12 seasons in stints with the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers and Maple Leafs.
He scored 11 goals and 22 points last season and has 367 goals and 839 points in 711 career games. The former Oshawa General enjoyed his best season in 1994-95, when he scored 29 goals and 70 points in just 46 games and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP. Lindros also led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996-97.

GM Burke: Bryzgalov lost in translation?
TSN.ca Staff with Orange County Register files
7/17/2006 10:22:19 AM
If Ilya Bryzgalov is going to be the Anaheim Ducks' No. 1 netminder next season, he didn't find out about it from the team.
Ducks general manager Brian Burke was quick to respond to Bryzgalov's remarks in a Russian newspaper over the weekend, as the young goaltender said the team notified him that he was going to be their top man in net.
"My first reaction is that this could be a language-barrier issue," Burke told the Orange Country Register through a team spokesman.
"No one from our organization has told either goalie they will be our No. 1 goalie, nor has anyone told them they will be traded. What I did tell each player was that since they have both established themselves as No. 1 goalies in the league, we would listen to (trade) offers on either of them, but I haven't offered either to any team, period."
Bryzgalov was quoted telling Sovietsky Sport newspaper Saturday that the team wants him to be the No. 1 goaltender next season instead of Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
Giguere won 30 games in 60 regular season appearances last season with a 2.66 goals against average, but struggled in the playoffs as the Ducks turned to Bryzgalov.
