Report: The Canadiens offered Mark Streit a contract

The Journal de Montreal is reporting that the Montreal Canadiens have offered Mark Streit a one-year contract valued at $1.5M.

The defenceman became an unrestricted free agent after his four-year contract signed with the Philadelphia Flyers expired this past season. He was traded at the deadline to the Pittsburgh Penguins and went on to capture the Stanley Cup, playing in three games during the playoffs.

At 39, Streit is very much on the decline of his career, but at $1.5M for the season represents a low risk for Marc Bergevin.
