Chris Wideman agreed to a two-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The 32-year-old could have been an unrestricted free agent July 13. He led Canadiens defensemen with 23 assists and his 27 points were tied with Jeff Petry for first at the position.
Wideman has 72 points (20 goals, 52 assists) in 245 NHL games for the Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers and Canadiens.
The Canadiens won the NHL Draft Lottery on May 10 and will have the No. 1 pick in the 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft at Bell Centre in Montreal on July 7-8 after finishing 22-49-11, last in the NHL standings. Martin St. Louis on June 1 agreed to a three-year contract to remain coach. He replaced Dominique Ducharme on Feb. 9 after the Canadiens won eight of their first 45 games (8-30-7).
Carey Price said June 3 that he doesn't know what his future holds as Canadiens goalie while recovering from knee surgery but will get ready for next season as if he'll be playing. The 34-year-old said a platelet-rich plasma injection is among the measures he's taken since Montreal's season ended and he's waiting for the procedure to have its full effect before beginning preparations.
The Canadiens aren't expecting much clarity on Price's future until July at the earliest. General manager Kent Hughes said he'd like to have an idea of where things stand with Price before the start of NHL free agency.
