A name familiar to more knowledgeable Montreal Canadiens fans has just found a new opportunity within an NHL organization.



Forward Blake Biondi, whom Kent Hughes chose not to retain but who was drafted by the Canadiens, will now continue his career within the Carolina Hurricanes organization.

Biondi just signed a contract with the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate in Chicago, as shared by the excellent Anthony Marcotte.

 

 

And confirmation from the journalist:

“The Chicago Wolves have added forward Blake Biondi to their AHL roster.

Biondi, 22, recorded 27 points (12G-15A) in 38 games played this season at the University of Notre Dame.”

It’s now officially over for Biondi within the Montreal Canadiens organization-at least for the short term.

 

Blake Biondi signs within the Carolina Hurricanes organization

We genuinely wish him the best of luck moving forward.

Biondi, age 22, is a 6-foot-1, 198-pound center.

He was a 4th-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 2020 NHL Draft-109th overall-and has been playing in the NCAA ever since.

Selected a few spots ahead of Sean Farrell and one round before Jakub Dobes, Biondi has posted (over the past few seasons):

27 points in 38 games

19 points in 34 games

6 points in 17 games

28 points in 42 games

Biondi spent most of his college career with Minnesota Duluth but wrapped up his NCAA journey with Notre Dame in the Big Ten.

Good luck in Chicago!
