Rumor: Jiri Tlusty to Montreal Canadiens

Unrestricted free agent center, Jiri Tlusty, is close to signing a contract. Tlusty had success playing with the Carolina Hurricanes. When he was shipped to the Winnipeg Jets at the 2015 NHL trade deadline, he struggled to find chemistry with his new teammates.

He will have to sign a one year deal to prove himself. The Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks are interested in signing Jiri Tlusty.
