Kreider had one year remaining on his deal with a $6.5-million cap hit when the Ducks cut him. Anaheim needed financial flexibility after signing Leo Carlsson to an $18 million annual contract, which was initiated by a lucrative offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Canadiens didn't make any notable additions this offseason after reaching the Eastern Conference Final in the spring. Kreider should bring valuable experience to a young Canadiens team and bolster a left side that previously lacked depth behind first-liner Cole Caufield.
