Cory Urquhart and the Montreal Canadiens have reached an agreement on a contract.

“Everything is agreed on, I just haven’t put pen to paper yet,” said the P.E.I. Rocket centre Wednesday.

This is good news. Saw it in the local paper within the last two days.

I particularly like Urquhart's scoring in the recent playoffs. Reminds me of Kovalev.

I haven't seen him yet, but from what I read and the stats he got the few past years, I thaught one more year in the QJMHL would have been a good thing. As far as I know, he hasn't been dominating the junior league à la Locke (not that I prefer Locke) and he is fairly young. I hope he can adapt to the new level and get the opportunity to play enough. Well, at least he will have to learn the physical part of the game, a thing that was missing according to different sources.
