Yeah, remember that guy? When the Canadiens signed Alex Semin ahead of the 2015-16 season it was to little fanfare, but the $1.1 million it took to get him was very reasonable for a former 40-goal scorer. It seemed like a slam dunk: best case scenario he lights it up, worst case you part ways without having spent a ton of money.
The latter is what ended up happening, but Semin didn't exactly falter. He only dressed for 15 games on the year, and spent a good amount of time watching from the press box.
