According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Northeastern University's young defenseman Jayden Struble wants to return to college next year and will not be signing a contract with the Habs anytime soon.
Friedman says the Habs wanted to sign him now. The reason is simple, next spring, if he does not sign with Montreal, he will be free as a bird, as it could have been the case with Jordan Harris, this season.
To be continued, but considering he's playing with the sons of St-Louis and Hughes, let's just say that the chances of him signing with Montreal are very high.
