Niemi agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Montreal on Tuesday worth $950,000.

EDGE Analysis

After a disappoint start to his 2017-18 season with Pittsburgh and Florida, Niemi finally settled with the Canadiens, as he went 7-5-4 with a 2.46 GAA in 19 appearances. The Habs obviously liked the netminder's body of work and at a relatively discounted $950,000, won't break the bank for a No. 2 behind Carey Price. Even if the Finn does struggle, the club still has Charlie Lindgren waiting in the wings.
