One of the most-skilled forwards available in free agency finally found a home Friday as Alexander Semin inked a one-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens.
The move was made official by the Habs' Twitter account, and Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports later reported that Semin will make $1.1 million in 2015-16.
Following the announcement of the signing, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin explained the decision to bring in the talented but enigmatic winger, according to the team's website:
We are very pleased to have reached a short term agreement with Alexander Semin.
