Cowan: Canadiens GM Bergevin set to fill free-agent shopping cart
Bergevin re-signed forward Joel Armia to a four-year contract on Tuesday before he could hit the free-agent market with an annual salary-cap hit of US$3.4 million, and he would also like to re-sign Perry, who should certainly get more than the US$750,000 he signed for as a free agent to play with the Canadiens last season. François Gagnon of RDS reported Tuesday that the Canadiens are expected to sign free-agent centre Cédric Paquette and free-agent defenceman David Savard on Wednesday.
