Berezin makes fourth move since 2000-01 season
SportsTicker
CHICAGO -- Sergei Berezin is on the move again.
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired the left wing from the Montreal
Canadiens on Sunday for a fourth-round pick in the 2004 draft.
Berezin joins his fourth team in just over a year after a
subpar 2001-02 season. The 30-year-old Russian started the
campaign with the Phoenix Coyotes but was traded to the
Canadiens on Jan. 25 in a deal involving right wing Brian
Savage. Berezin totaled a career-low 11 goals and 15 assists in
70 games.
A 1994 eighth-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Berezin had
a career season in 1998-99 with 37 goals and 32 assists. His
goal-scoring production has dropped each season since.
