The Canadiens’ recent Russian flavour is one they’ve been chasing for decades. It took them a long time but the team now finally boasts a significant Russian contingent.
As the Habs neared the end of a frustrating, disappointing campaign, a major bright spot emerged in the form of Alex Galchenyuk. Will he carry over his strong finish into next season?
The Alex Galchenyuk contract ‘saga’ has come to an end as on Thursday night, the club announced that they have signed the 21 year old to a two year deal. Financial terms weren’t officially disclosed but it carries a cap hit of $2.8 million.
With reports surfacing earlier this week that talks between the Habs and Alex Galchenyuk have stalled, there are many who are beginning to get frustrated with the lack of progress. However, it’s way too early to be concerned that a deal hasn’t been reached yet.
Alex Galchenyuk’s contract is arguably the biggest thing left to do on Marc Bergevin’s to-do list this summer. It’s likely that like many before him, Galchenyuk will be offered a bridge deal. How much should that contract be worth?
