Last summer, the Montreal Canadiens got Jesperi Kotkaniemi stolen from them because of a ridiculous hostile offer by the Hurricanes, he was a restricted free agent.
The good news is that the Tricolore will not be able to go through that again with their young defenseman Alexander Romanov.
According to Marco D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now, an important technicality in the NHL rules protects the Habs in the case of the Russian defenseman.
In 2019-2020, Romanov had signed a three-season entry-level contract at the time. However, given that he did not play 10 games during that season, Romanov is not eligible to receive a hostile offer from another team.
Very good news for Kent Hughes!
