Montreal Canadiens General Manager Marc Bergevin seems to have chosen his winning formula to craft a championship team: acquire players from the Blackhawks.
All kidding aside, with the recent additions of Phillip Danault and Andrew Shaw, Bergevin is acquiring players that he knows very well, having spent his formative management years scouting and watching them closely as part of the Chicago organization, not to mention bringing over goaltending coach Stephane Waite.
One of those players who Bergevin is very familiar with is 6'3" Andrew Ladd, who will become an Unrestricted Free Agent on July 1, after completing a five year deal he originally signed with the Winnipeg Jets in 2011 that was worth $4.
