The Montreal Canadiens are hoping to strike gold again with another high-profile KHL signing.
The team inked defenseman Jakub Jerabek to a one-year contract, the club announced on Monday.
Jerabek is coming off his first season in the KHL after spending the previous eight playing for Plzen HC of the Czech Elite League. The 25-year-old played 59 games for Chekhov Vityaz where he finished fourth in defenseman assists (29) and fifth in points (34).
The move comes after the team inked Alexander Radulov to a one-year deal this past season. Radulov went on to finish second on the team in scoring with 18 goals and 54 points in 76 games.
