In the past few minutes, we reported the announcement of the arbitration hearing date for Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble.
However, that doesn’t mean things can’t be resolved before that date-on the contrary!
RUMOR: Canadiens expected to announce Jayden Struble signing in the next few days, before August 3
That’s what the excellent Marco D’Amico believes.
“The Montreal Canadiens have their arbitration audience with Jayden Struble scheduled for the 3rd of August.
It’s very likely that the Canadiens come to terms with Struble prior to that date.”
– Marco D’Amico
So don’t be surprised if, within the next few days-or even hours-the Montreal Canadiens announce the signing of 23-year-old defenseman Jayden Struble.
There’s quite a bit of smoke pointing in that direction.
Jayden Struble, 23 years old, is a 6-foot, 207-pound left-handed defenseman.
Selected 46th overall by the Canadiens in 2019 (second round), he has 23 points and 109 penalty minutes in 112 career games in the NHL.
Last season, he recorded 13 points in 56 games, with a positive plus-minus of +2. He also played two games with the Laval Rocket.
The current scenario is quite clear.
Who do you think will win that 6th spot?
