The Montreal Canadiens were pretty busy with player signings yesterday.

It was the first day of 2021 free agency which is always the day where the most money is agreed to between players and teams and the Canadiens were not on the sidelines.

They inked David Savard to a four year contract with a $3.5 million cap hit, Cedric Paquette came to the organization with a one year deal at just under a million dollars and Chris Wideman came over from the KHL and will earn $750,000 next year if he can make the Canadiens lineup.
