Michael Pezzetta was drafted by the Canadiens in 2016.
Today, however, we learn that he’s leaving the Montreal organization.
El Pezz has signed a two-year (!) contract with the Toronto Leafs. He’s joining the enemy… Hehe.

Honestly, I’m happy for him.
He’s always been appreciated in Montreal because we’re talking about a good guy. He always had the right attitude even if he didn’t necessarily play every night and he always worked hard in practice too.
I wonder, though, what his role will be like in Toronto.
But seeing him come home (he grew up in Toronto) must be encouraging for him.
More details to come…
