The Montreal Canadiens have signed free agent forward Eric Cole from the Carolina Hurricanes and goaltender Peter Budaj from the Colorado Avalanche.

Cole signed a US$18-million, four-year deal and 28-year-old Budaj inked a $2.3-million, two-year contract.


Cole's going to be that big physical goal scoring winger they need. His injury problems are a issue but if he stays healthy this is going to be a solid signing for them.

Cole's injury history is deceiving. 5 years since the broken neck, missed 42 games in 09-10, otherwise missed 22 games to injury in 4 other seasons. I'm really happy we picked him up; didn't overspend either. Only thing I don't like is he got a NTC.
