Get to Know: Zach Redmond
On the first day of free agency, Montreal Canadiens General Manager Marc Bergevin signed former Colorado Avalanche defenceman Zach Redmond to a two-deal worth $1,225,000; a $612,500 annual cap hit.
A lot of people initially assumed that this was a depth move by Bergevin, as the Canadiens appeared fairly set on defence after auditioning a whole bevy of defenders during an injury-riddled season. However, Bergevin must not have been pleased with what he saw, and reached out to Redmond.
We, in turn, reached out to Ryan Murphy of our SB Nation sister site Mile High Hockey to answer some questions about Redmond, and to get a better idea of what makes him a potential surprise at training camp.
