Montreal Canadiens agree to terms on two-year contract with forward Max Domi
MONTREAL — Armed with a new two-year contract and prepared for a change of scenery, forward Max Domi said Saturday that he can’t wait to get started with the Montreal Canadiens.
The Habs acquired Domi from the Arizona Coyotes on Friday in exchange for fellow young forward Alex Galchenyuk.
“I think everything happens for a reason,” Domi said on a conference call. “Hopefully both of us can succeed in our new homes.”
Domi, 23, was Arizona’s first-round pick (12th overall) at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. His deal has an average annual value of US$3.15 million, the Canadiens said in a release.
