Signing alert within the Montreal Canadiens organization

There has just been a signing within the organization chart of the Montreal Canadiens, as the Lions of Trois-Rivières have just announced this.

Nielsen has just signed and he is joining the Lions!


Maybe the name doesn't ring a bell, but honestly, it's an interesting addition.

We found articles from Toronto journalists who spoke of him as one of the best prospects for the Maple Leafs a few years ago.

He's dynamic and talented offensively, but it's his defensive game that's the issue for him and that's what's prevented him from reaching the next level.

Nielsen, 26 years old, is a 6 foot 4 inch, 230 pound defenseman!

He was a 3rd round pick by the Maple Leafs in 2015.
