June 27: Canadiens modify their ionic jersey
The Canadiens announced they will modify ever so slightly their jerseys for the 2015-16 season. The changes include:
• Hexagonal copper grommets and white laces
• All-white collar
• the collar will have “LNH” for Ligue Nationale de Hockey.
The last time the canadiens modified their jersey was back in 2007. And the Canadiens had laces on their jerseys from the 1940s to 1974.
June 28: Canadiens buy-out P-A Parenteau
In a move to get some much needed salary cap relief, the Canadiens bought out the final year of P-A Parenteau’s contract. Parenteau was scheduled to earn $4M in 2015-16. he will get $1.33M for the next two seasons instead. On top of his salary that he will get with Toronto Maple leafs as Parenteau signed with Toronto on July 1st.
June 30: Habs sign a pair
On the eve of Free Agency, Habs signed restricted Free Agents Brian Flynn and extended the contract of Greg Pateryn. Flynn signed a 2 years, $1.9M , whereas defenceman Pateryn earns an extension. Already signed for 2015-16 at $562.5K, Pateryn will make $800K for 2016-17, and 2017-18.
July 1: The start to Free Agency Frenzy
Turns out it was not much of a frenzy for Habs fans and especially for Habs GM Marc Bergevin. Bergevin did not sign any free agents, instead opted to trade Brandon Prust to the Vancounver Canucks for Zack Kassian and a 2016 5th Round Pick. This marks Kassian’s third organization in his young career. The tarde makes the Canadiens younger, and saves on the Cap.
Tale of the tape:
Brandon Prust was shocked hearing about the trade while vacationing in Rome with his fiancée MariPier Morin. In fact this was their last tweet just prior to finding out about the trade.
