Erik Cole Signs with Montreal

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

The Montreal Canadiens were looking for a big winger with a scoring touch and feel they've found one in former Carolina Hurricane Erik Cole.

The Canadiens signed the six-foot-two 205-pound unrestricted free agent to a US$18 million four-year contract, with a no-trade clause, on the opening day of the NHL player market on Friday.

They also inked back-up goaltender Peter Budaj to a $2.3 million two-year deal.

Cole brings a big body and speed to a team that has a lot of smaller forwards.
