Montreal Canadiens owner Geoff Molson has been accused by many Habs fans over the past three years of being a little too frugal with the team’s payroll.
That theory was certainly disproved this offseason when the Habs signed Tyler Toffoli to a $17 million contract, gave Joel Edmundson a $14 million contract, signed Josh Anderson to a $38.5 million deal, agreed to pay Jake Allen just under $10 million over the next three years and re-signed Jeff Petry to a $25 million contract and kept Brendan Gallagher around long term with a $39 million agreement.
