His nine seasons with the 'C' has made him just be 1 year year back from the legendary Jean Beliveau(who was captain for 10 seasons)."If I'm not signed by July 1, I don't think I'll be back in Montreal," Koivu said last month. "Finishing your career with one team would be awesome in a way, but it's too early to say because I don't know what the team's plan is. We lost yesterday, so I need time to sit down with my family and figure out what's best for us."
Koivu talked to the media today and said:"The most important thing is to stay positive at this point and don't worry about what's going to happen."According to sources, Kovalev wants to remain with the Canadiens and negotiations with the team would continue when he returns from his vacation.
