Hudon, a fifth-round pick in 2012, was entering his final year of restricted free agency, and will be unrestricted by the time this deal expires. He had been offered a two-way, $840,000 contract as a qualifying offer to stay with the Montreal Canadiens, but decided to spend a year overseas to get noticed by another NHL club.
