Montreal Canadiens forward Guillaume Latendresse will be sticking around when the regular season kicks off next week.
The Canadiens' prospect has signed an entry level contract with the club after an impressive training camp. According to RDS, the deal is worth $850,000 per year over three years, the rookie maximum.
By agreeing to sign the 19-year-old forward, the Canadiens have pretty much guaranteed him a spot on the team. It is highly unlikely they would burn a year of his entry level status by sending him back to his Canadian Hockey League team, the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
"They did what they had to do," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said of Latendresse and Andrei Kostitsyn on Thursday, the two prospects fighting for a roster spot. "They've played well right from the start of training camp."
