Canadiens Defenseman Bids Adieu After Europe Move

A Canadiens defenseman is out of the organization after signing with a new team in Europe, and that kind of move usually tells you the player saw a clearer lane somewhere else. Montreal’s back end has been crowded before, and when a depth defenseman heads overseas, it often says as much about opportunity as it does about geography. The Habs keep reshuffling the blue line picture, while this player is choosing a different route to keep the career moving.
