Free Agent Forward Chris Kreider Signs One-Year Deal with Montreal Canadiens
- On Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens signed veteran forward Chris Kreider to a one-year contract, bringing the 35-year-old back to the Eastern Conference after his release from Anaheim.
- Kreider became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after mutually agreeing with the Anaheim Ducks to terminate his contract, which carried a $6.5 million cap hit with only $4 million remaining.
- Sportsnet NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported the deal is worth $2.15 million with potential bonuses up to $3 million, allowing Kreider to recoup earnings from his previous salary structure.
- Returning to the East Coast was a priority for the veteran, who wanted to be closer to family while pursuing his first Stanley Cup after 14 seasons with the New York Rangers.
- Montreal expects Kreider to provide veteran leadership and secondary scoring for its young roster as the Canadiens pursue a deep Stanley Cup run this season.
