The Habs have likely finished off their free agent signing spree by inking Francis Pare to a 3-year, $0.75mm deal. Pare is a Red Wings prospect who as a rookie had 23 goals and 24 assists for 47 points in just 61 GP. This is only 4 points behind Abdelkader (he played 13 more games), a highly regarded prospect. Pare played no PP or PK time either, so next year he could really improve his point total.
Pare was also a +22, best on the entire team.
We look forward to seeing Pare develop into a legit NHL player.
