Canadiens Dip into KHL for Right-Shot Defensive Help

This move signals the Canadiens' willingness to take calculated risks on international talent as they continue their rebuild. The signing adds depth to a defense corps that's been under construction, and it's worth watching whether this player can make the adjustment to NHL speed and physicality.
