Canadiens Sign Defenseman Picard, Re-Sign Alex Henry

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that they have signed defenseman Alexandre Picard to a one-year, two-way contract and re-signed defenseman Alex Henry to a two-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of both deals were not disclosed. These aren't bad signings for the Canadiens, as both players will provide adequate defensive depth for the club. Picard has some puck-moving skill, while Henry brings lots of toughness and grit to the blueline. However, given the depth on the Canadiens' defense for next season, Picard and Henry will likely be competing for a roster spot at training camp, along with prospect P.K. Subban.
