Montreal Canadiens winger Joel Armia was on the cusp of hitting the free agent market for the first time but he elected to stay in Montreal for the foreseeable future.
The 6’4″ and 213 pound winger just finished an impressive postseason run and was slated to be an unrestricted free agent tomorrow afternoon.
The Finnish product instead signed a four year contract with an annual cap hit of $3.4 million.
At first blush, it seems a bit high of a cap hit for the Canadiens to be handing out.
