BREAKING: Habs Sign Top Remaining Free Agent

News just broke that the Montreal Canadiens have come to terms with Sean Monahan on a contract extension.

Bargain Deal for Sean Monahan

After an injury-riddled season, Monahan was set to hit the free agent market.

Coming off a deal that paid him $6.375-million annually, he likely still could have gotten a lot of money in the tight free agency.

Instead, he has come to terms on a one-year, $1.985-million deal with the Habs.

This is a low-risk, high-reward deal for Montreal, as if he does do well he could fetch a massive return in trade.

We will see how this all plays out.
