With a rather significant exodus of depth forwards in the Montreal Canadiens organization, general manager Marc Bergevin dipped into the free-agency market to sign Chris Terry. Terry is a talented forward who has found offensive success in the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers, but also moderate success with the Carolina Hurricanes last season, playing north of 60 games with the club.
He projects to play an important role for the St. John’s IceCaps, leading the offence on their top line, replacing Bud Holloway who returned to Europe after a single season in the Canadiens organization.
