As another week comes to close to closing, the Montreal Canadiens check another free agent off their list. It wasn’t a big one, but the Brett Kulak signing was set to be an interesting case. He was acquired from the Calgary Flames after playing his first full season in the NHL but was initially thought to be an AHL booster.
However, he was recalled from the Laval Rocket and played well enough to see time with Shea Weber on the top pairing. It lasted longer than expected, but not for the rest of the season.
