Elliotte Friedman mentioned a little over a week ago that he heard the Montreal Canadiens weren’t done making moves to try to improve their club. Clearly that was true, as the Canadiens added Michael Frolik last week on a one-year deal worth $750,000. Then today, with training camp looming less than a week away, Marc Bergevin added former Hart Trophy and Rocket Richard winner Corey Perry at the same term and price.
Perry is long since departed from his 30-goal form, but brings certain ... let’s say ‘attitude’ to the lineup that Bergevin wants for his team. A huge chunk of that is experience, namely 1045 NHL games worth of experience, plus another 145 in the playoffs, along with a gold medal with Team Canada at the Olympics in 2014.
