As the NCAA season begins to close for many teams in their conference tournaments, teams across the NHL are racing to get their prospects, as well as undrafted free agents signed up quickly.
For the Montreal Canadiens one such name was Jayden Struble, with the senior defenceman from Northeastern seeing his final year of eligibility come to an end after an upset loss to Providence in the Hockey East quarterfinals. For the Huskies, their odds to make the Frozen Four were slim without winning this tournament.
The contract will be two years and starts next season.
