And with Michael McCarron done, Marc Bergevin has finished his restricted free agent to-do list for the summer. The Montreal Canadiens were in a position where many though McCarron’s time with the organization would’ve been over, but they instead chose to qualify him along with the other RFAS. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, the Habs wanted to give McCarron another chance to prove himself, and this deal is as much as a prove-it deal as you’ll see in the NHL.
The 24-year-old will be making $700,000 on a two-way contract for the 2019-20 season.
