Redmond signed a two-year, $1.25 million contract with the Canadiens on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Redmond drew into 37 games with the Avalanche last season, tallying six points and 22 shots on goal with a plus-5 rating over that span. The 27-year-old will compete for a bottom-pairing role with the Habs in training camp, but will likely be in and out of the lineup throughout the 2016-17 campaign as a depth defender.
