The former Montreal Canadiens forward is back in North America after a one-season stay in Switzerland. He had a good season with the Lausanne team, with whom he amassed 32 points, including 15 goals, in 33 points. The native of Alma, Quebec had hoped to break into the starting lineup of the Tampa Bay Lightning, but in vain. He will most likely join the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL.
The names of Michael McNiven, Jean-Sebastien Dea, Laurent Dauphin and Brandon Baddock have been placed on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens. They will join the Laval Rocket.
