Late bloomer. Habs trying to find gold or a needle in a haystack of undrafted players. Although as a team Captain French speaking 6'2'' right shooting Center, with 44 goals in 65 games and 19pts in 11 playoff games, kind of a no-brainer for the Habs to give him a shot.
While the Habs bad, their AHL & ECHL outfits were even worse last year. They need to inject talent throughout all levels of the organization so this is a great signing.
