Chris Kreider agreed to terms on a contract for this season with the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, a move that’s going to bring some serious history back to Quebec.
The East Coast Calling
Kreider mutually terminated his deal with the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week. His reason? He’s a Massachusetts native and wanted to get back to the Eastern Conference, closer to his family. He spent last year in Southern California after being traded from the New York Rangers.
Montreal’s Rocky Welcome
Now, here’s where it gets wild. Kreider has been booed in Montreal ever since he collided with Carey Price during a playoff series way back in 2014 when he was with the Rangers. So, yeah, he’s definitely not walking into a quiet room. Expect those boos to resurface big time for the new Canadien.
