We've got some movement within the Montreal Canadiens organization.

Just hours after adding a new defenseman..

Zack Hayes' Time with the Montreal Canadiens Organization Has Come to an End
He'll continue his career with the Milwaukee Admirals, part of the Nashville Predators organization.

We wish him all the best moving forward.
Hayes, 26, is a 6-foot-3, 227-pound left-shot defenseman who recorded 8 points in 46 games with the Laval Rocket, along with 51 penalty minutes and a solid +7 rating.
He also picked up 12 penalty minutes during Laval's recent playoff run in the AHL.
Quietly, Zack Hayes has three games of NHL experience, all with the Vegas Golden Knights.
