MONTREAL -- Danny Briere is not likely to hear many more boos at the Bell Centre. The free agent from Gatineau, Que., has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The Philadelphia Flyers used a compliance buy-out last week on the final two years of an eight-year, US$52 million deal Briere signed in 2007. Because he turned down an offer from the Canadiens to sign with the Flyers that year, Briere was booed whenever Philadelphia visited Montreal. Now, hes a Canadien, returning to his native Quebec on a deal reportedly worth $4 million per season. "For me, the Montreal Canadiens fans are probably the most passionate fans in the NHL," Briere said on a conference call Thursday night. "Its an honour to be playing for them, in front of them, and all Im hoping is that we will all be cheering in the same direction when the seasons starts." The 35-year-old Briere had reportedly narrowed his list of potential destinations to the Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators. "Daniel Briere brings a great deal of skills, experience and leadership to our team and he is a significant addition to our group of forwards," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement. "Daniel showed a great desire to pursue his career in Montreal and we are very happy that he committed to playing in Montreal for the next two seasons." Initial reaction to the deal was mixed among Canadiens fans, with some welcoming his skill and experience and others concerned that the five-foot-10, 181-pound Briere adds another small body to an already smaller than average team. Others worry about his declining offensive production. Briere had only six goals and 10 assists in the lockout shortened 2013 season and has had concussion issues in recent years. "Last season with the short season, starting behind everybody because of injuries, I am definitely looking forward to bouncing back. Ive done that my whole life, my whole career," Briere said. "Its always been about finding the motivation to bounce back. Coming to Montreal makes it really easy, first of all. Having the chance to play for the Canadiens, I think theres no better motivation than that. "(2013) definitely was a season where I wasnt happy the way things went and Im going to do everything in my power to turn that around." Briere has 282 goals and 373 assists in 847 career NHL games, but was mostly coveted for his post-season play. In the Flyers run to the Stanley Cup final in 2010, Briere had 12 goals and 18 assists in 23 games. In 108 career post-season games, he has 50 goals and 59 assists. Green Bay Packers Gear .

National selector James Whitaker expects Eoin Morgan to return as captain of the England ODI side in India despite opting out of the tour of Bangladesh.Morgan, Englands ODI captain since the end of 2014, decided against travelling to Bangladesh due to security concerns. While Whitaker echoed the view of Andrew Strauss, Englands director of cricket, in terming Morgans view disappointing he also made it clear that it would not be held against him when it comes to future selection.Eoin has done exceptionally well as captain, Whitaker said. Over the last couple of years hes established a really good leadership base. Hes done a marvellous job.Its slightly disappointing that hes turned this opportunity down, but we expect him to be captain in India. At the same time, well review as we do after every series. Other people will come in and put pressure on those guys. And all Ill say is, I expect him to be captain in India.While Jos Buttler has been appointed for the three ODIs in Bangladesh, he made it clear earlier this week that he viewed that as an interim appointment. Eoin is very much captain of the England ODI team, he told ESPNcricinfo. I fully expect him to take up the reins when he is available.England have lost only one ODI this summer - and that in a dead rubber against Pakistan - winning series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the process and setting a new record ODI score. Morgan has generally been seen as a crucial part of their new, more positive approach.Meanwhile, Whitaker also provided a strong hint that Ben Stokes will be vice-captain of the England ODI side in Bangladesh. Although an official vice-captain has yet to be named, it has become clear that there is great respect for Stokes influence among the management with his absence seen as a crucial factor in Englands poor performance in the final Test of the summer at The Oval.ddddddddddddWe havent nominated a vice-captain yet, Whitaker said. But Ben Stokes is taking a leading role more and more in both forms of the game.He is an astute reader of the game. And a very astute motivator of other players around him. But from official point of view, we havent named one. Jos and Trevor will take a view, but Ben Stokes is a galvaniser of people and an astute reader of the game. He is taking a more leading role on that senior player group.England are meanwhile confident that Alastair Cook will be available for the first Test in Bangladesh despite him returning to England to attend the birth of his second child.Cooks wife, Alice, is due to give birth in the week starting October 10. So, while the rest of the England Test squad will travel to Bangladesh on October 9, Cook will go at the start of the month and gain some familiarity with the conditions.While he is then expected to return to England as his Test colleagues arrive - and, as a consequence, miss the two warm-up games in Chittagong, to be played on October 14-15 and 15-16 - the England management are confident Cook will be back in time for the first Test on October 20, and has the experience to cope with the absence of warm-up games.Hell go out for a little bit of practice at the back-end of the one-day series, then come back home and then go out ready for the first Test, Whitaker told Sky Sports. Hes got a lot of experience, hell figure it out. Im sure hell be ready for the first Test. ' ' '
