The Montreal Canadiens have signed veteran defenseman Francis Bouillon to a one-year contract extension, the club announced today.

Bouillon has one goal and six assists in 29 games, averaging 17:58 of ice time. The 37-year-old ranks fifth on the Habs with 31 blocked shots and is tied for third in hits, with 51.

The deal is reportedly worth $1.5 million, the same salary he’s making on his current contract.

    They like the way he has been flopping and diving this year so they decided to extend him.

    This is a smart move by manaement. This is a sign management is thinking and planning about how their young d men in the farm system wil be integrated into the NHL clud. This veteran D man will help the younger d men when they get promoted. I mean he’s not the greatest, but offers steady play game in and game out.
