Acquired along with two picks for Simon Bourque and what was essentially a cap credit, Joel Armia has signed a one-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens, avoiding arbitration with a salary of $1.85 million.
Armia played 79 regular-season games for the Winnipeg Jets last season, scoring 12 goals in a bottom-six role and contributing a total of 29 points. He added two more goals during the Jets’ playoff run.

Armia will very likely take a spot on the right side, which had become a bit thin for the team.
