Jayden Struble has secured a two-year, $2.825 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens, averting a salary arbitration hearing. The 23-year-old defenseman, previously a restricted free agent, had a modest performance last season with 13 points from 56 games and a plus-2 rating. His playoff experience was limited, going scoreless in two games. Selected 46th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, Struble has totaled 23 points (5 goals, 18 assists) across 112 NHL games, showcasing potential for growth in his game.
