Report: Habs announce big time signing on Monday.

At the end of the Montreal Canadiens playoff run Habs GM Marc Bergevin made it clear that his biggest priority was to lock down the players he acquired through trades at the deadline. After earlier coming to terms on a long term deal with defenseman Jeff Petry Bergevin has now completed phase two of that goal by reaching terms on a new deal with Torrey Michell. Mitchell who was acquired by the Canadiens in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres clearly impressed management during the playoffs and it was clear both parties were hoping to work out some kind of contract before free agency. Mitchell's deal is worth a reported $3.6 million dollars over three years.
