There was only one file left on Kent Hughes' desk before he went on summer vacation, and that was Jesse Ylonen's contract extension. It's now a done deal. The Canadiens have just announced the Finn's contract extension. It's a one-season, two-part contract. Kent Hughes gives himself options for Laval, given the number of forwards the CH has. That's probably why it's only a one-season contract and why it took so long to settle. Ylonen clearly wanted an NHL-only contract, and that's understandable. <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>The Canadiens agree to terms on a one-season, two-way contract with forward Jesse Ylönen.<a href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoHabsGo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>#GoHabsGo</a><a href=https://t.co/NdnvQVYEqu>https://t.co/NdnvQVYEqu</a>- Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) <a href=https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1685999442539802624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 31, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8>
