We have been talking about the excellent Quebecois goaltender Yaniv Perets for several weeks now, who has been absolutely dominant in the NCAA.

Just as he has finished his college career, having won the National Championship with Quinnipiac University, Perets has made another big decision regarding his professional future.

The 23-year-old goaltender has just signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, according to information from ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

It's really unfortunate for the Canadiens, as they lose a very enticing target in the free agent market.

In addition to being named among the top 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, Perets has been outstanding in his two college seasons.

Here are his statistics:

1.17 goals against average and .939 save percentage in 2021-22 (22-5-2 record)

1.49 goals against average and .931 save percentage in 2022-23 (34-4-3 record)

He could have become a real gem for the Canadiens organization, which is looking for a goaltender for the future and depth in their goaltending prospects.

This is a move that could pay off big for the Hurricanes.
