The Montreal Canadiens have agreed to terms with their 2021 2nd round pick, Riley Kidney, on a 3-year entry-level contract. The contract pays Kidney $750,000 in 2022-23 and sees an increase to $775,000 from 2023-2025 at the NHL level. There is a signing bonus of $92,500 each year. At the AHL level, Kidney will earn $80,000 per year.
This season Kidney set career highs in goals, assists, and points. 100 points in 66 games for Acadie-Bathurst Titan. He ranked 7th in QMJHL, scoring with 100 points. As a Titan, he had 171 points (48 goals, 123 assists) in 158 games. He was drafted 11th overall by the Titan in the 2019 QMJHL Draft.

Last year in the 2021 playoffs, Kidney had 17 points (2 goals, 15 assists) in 9 games. Kidney will once again be relied upon heavily to get it done in the playoffs for the Titan. He definitely gives off that playmaker player type.
