Habs sign asst. GM Dudley to contract extension

Rick Dudley

Rick Dudley won’t be going back to Buffalo.

On Wednesday, Montreal announced they’ve re-upped with Dudley -- currently serving as assistant to GM Marc Bergevin -- on a contract extension, ruling out the possibility of Dudley returning to Buffalo for the vacant Sabres GM gig.

Considered one of the candidates on Pat LaFontaine’s shortlist, Dudley has extensive GM experience, having served in that role for the Senators, Lightning, Panthers and Thrashers.

According to TSN, the Canadiens were approached by the Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley.
