The Montreal Canadiens re-signed Jeff Petry. When looking around the league, Petry’s contract looks like a bargain.
The Montreal Canadiens have a lot of contracts to sort out before the end of next season. Their entire first line of Tomas Tatar, Brendan Gallagher and Phillip Danault are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents following the 2020-21 season.
Jeff Petry was too, but general manager Marc Bergevin took care of that business well ahead of time.
Not only did he take care of business early, he seems to have gotten a pretty good bargain on Petry’s contract.
