Mathieu Darche is waiting for a new  Collective Bargaining Agreement to be decided, so that he can sign with another team, according to the Montreal Gazette.

“I talked with some teams in early July and came close with one. For some reason it didn’t work out,” said the former Montreal forward. “I wish I’d been signed right away but then again, it’s nothing I can control. Fellow UFAs Brendan Morrison, Jason Arnott and Dominic Moore are still unsigned. I’ve looked at rosters and there are still spots on a few. We’ll see what the future brings.” He missed the final 21 games of last season with a concussion, which he originally thought was an ear infection, but he is healthy now and believes he will find a new NHL home soon.
