Hanley signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Canadiens on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley was impressive in his 10 NHL appearances this season as he garnered six helpers, including back-to-back multi-point games in March. While his new deal is a two-way contract, the young blueliner has a chance to spend the bulk of the season in the majors given the questions surrounding the aging defense in Montreal. If nothing else, Hanley adds organizational depth and is a prospect for fantasy owners to keep an eye on moving forward.
