Canadiens GM Pierre Gauthier announced the signing of prospect Alexander Avstin to a 3 year deal.
I’ve been anxious to see much more of Avtsin since he was drafted. The 19 year old just finished this year’s development camp last week.
The scouting reports said this guy had an physical game and lot’s of offensive skill. There was talk of Alexander possibly playing with the Juniors de Montréal or Hamilton. Now it’s official that we’ll see him in North America.
I would guess that Avtsin will spend the season in Hamilton. I’m sure we’ll see a glimpse of him at camp!!
