The Montreal Canadiens have brought back Finnish wingers Joel Armia and Artturi Lehkonen on two year contracts. Armia will earn $2.6 million each season before becoming an unrestricted free agent and Lehkonen will be a restricted free agent after making $2.4 million for the next two years.
That 2021 offseason when both wingers will be free agents is going to be a busy time for the National Hockey League. That is when Seattle will get a hockey franchise as their expansion draft is set for June, 2021.
The last expansion took place in 2017 when the Vegas Golden Knights drafted what everyone thought would be a bottom-feeder.
