The Montreal Canadiens have signed veteran winger Ales Hemsky to a one-year contract, the team announced Monday.
The one-way deal is worth $1 million, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Due to surgery to repair a labral tear in his hip, Hemsky was limited to just 15 games for the Dallas Stars last season, in which he recorded four goals and three assists.
The signing of the 33-year-old is just the latest move in what's already been a busy summer for general Marc Bergevin, already signing free agent defenseman Karl Alzner to a five-year contract, as well as dishing out an eight-year extension to all-star goaltender Carey Price.
