The 20-year-old Russian forward signed before a collective bargaining agreement deadline that reduces maximum contract length to seven years.
- On Wednesday, Canada Day, the Montreal Canadiens signed forward Ivan Demidov to an eight-year, $73 million contract extension, keeping the Russian winger through the 2034-35 season.

- Agent Dan Milstein confirmed the deal carries a $9.125 million average annual value, including $57.6 million in signing bonuses and a 10-team no-trade clause for the final three seasons.
