Streit to go the free agent route?

From Kevin Mio of the Montreal Gazette:

According to RDS, it looks like utility man Mark Streit will be able to offer his
services to the NHL’s 29 other teams next Tuesday.

The all-sports network is reporting that the Canadiens have yet to offer the Swiss player a new contract.

While I am surprised the Habs haven’t offered Streit a contract, I would not be surprised if Streit walks after July 1. Lots of teams could use a power play quarterback with forward/defense versatility.
