“We are very pleased to have come to terms on a multi-year agreement with Torrey Mitchell,” said Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin in a statement. “Torrey is a versatile player who has a great deal of speed and experience. He was an excellent addition to our group of forwards last season, and offered a solid performance during the playoffs”

He was acquired by the Canadiens from Buffalo on March 2 in return for Jack Nevins and a seventh round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
