Silence Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 http://www.thefourthperiod.com/rumors/rumor.asp?id=853 Brisebois rejected trade to NJ Friday, March 14, 2003 The Fourth Period - As the 3:00pm ET trade deadline approached on Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils had reached a trade agreement that would have sent defenseman Patrice Brisebois to the Swamp. All that was needed was the approval of Brisebois himself, who has a no-trade clause in his contract. According to various reports, Brisebois refused to waive his no-trade clause and rejected the deal to New Jersey. Brisebois signed a four-year contract last year which holds a no-trade clause in the first two years of the deal. It's uncertain what the Devils would have sent Montreal for the veteran defenseman. Brisebois has yet to comment on the ordeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaRay Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Good riddance, he sucks anyway. I find it difficult to fathom having a rough defensemen named Patrice on the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 So he'd rather stay in Montreal and get booed every time he touches the puck. Alllllll rightyyyyyyy then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 If Brisebois rejected a deal, lord knows what the Devils were offering, or why they'd do it. Breeze-by is terrible, and his salary is outrageously high, even higher than Tverdovsky's, who I imagine would've gone straight up for Brisebois. But, even then, I can't imagine the Devils taking on so much salary for so little performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 The people in Montreal all like to call him Breeze-By and he is hated there. Here he has a chance to win and he says no. Okay. I doubt this report though is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this report though. Maybe he doesn't care about winning. He already has his name on the Cup. He probably just wants to live in Montreal as long as he can.

devilsrule33 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 You know the year he won the Cup with the Habs in 1992-1993 is the only team to win the Cup without a European born player in the past twenty years I think or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Petrov? OK OK, He only played one game Still got his name on the Cup, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 If true, maybe the Devils wanted Breeze-by to improve their power play. The one thing he's good at is quarterbacking a PP. That's the area the Devils have had issues with all season long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarbingerOfSorrow Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Patrice invoked his no-trade clause? The nerve of him. Who does he think he is? Teemu Selanne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
