The Montreal Canadiens announced yesterday that they have signed prized prospect Alexander Romanov to an entry-level contract. He will help spread out the minutes on the Habs blue line.
The Montreal Canadiens biggest weakness for many years was their depth down the middle of the ice. With the addition of Max Domi, Nick Suzuki and Phillip Danault as well as drafting Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Ryan Poehling and Jake Evans, their centre ice depth is turning into a strength.
