The Montreal Canadiens have made some off-season moves that have improved the team. Let’s look at how.
The off-season, though it happened way too early, started off on a good note when defenseman Jeff Petry was signed. At the beginning of June, Petry was signed to a six-year contract.
Petry came into Montreal at the trade deadline, leaving behind a beleaguered Edmonton Oilers, and making his mark almost immediately. His enthusiasm about being in Montreal – not just excited about being on a winning team, assured of playoffs, but truly loving the city and the Habs – translated to beautiful performances on the ice, night after night.
