It has been a strange two years for Karl Alzner in the Montreal Canadiens organization, with bumps in the road and a complete 180 on his role within the team. Going from a big free-agent signing to a leadership role in the AHL club isn’t an easy transition for some players mentally, but Alzner handled this hurdle about as well as he could have. He ended up as the mentor for many of the young defenders coming into the professional ranks, and this past season was no different. Many people, rightfully, look at his contract but that pressure shouldn’t fall on him given that he was always going to sign a deal that was best for himself.
