In all likelihood, the Canadiens defenseman Mike Komisarek will bargain his services next week as he is seriously considering testing the free agent market, RDS has learned.
A free agent without compensation, it is expected that the American 27-year-old is busy training for the new season. Komisarek, one of ten unrestricted free agent players on the Canadiens, received a salary of 1.9 million last season. He could be seeking a salary of about five million annually but the Canadiens would not be willing to go so far to keep him.
RDS contacted his agent Matt Keator who would not comment.
Last year in 66 games, Komisarek found the back of the net twice in addition to raising nine assists.
The other Canadiens unrestricted free agents are Mathieu Schneider, Alex Tanguay, Saku Koivu, Alex Kovalev, Robert Lang, Francis Bouillon, Mathieu Dandenault, Patrice Brisebois and Tom Kostopoulos.
