Alexander Zharovsky<\/a> sign in Montreal and begin the season with the Canadiens, it now appears that possibility can be put to rest.<\/p>\nEverything indicates that Zharovsky officially packed his bags and left Montreal over the past few hours to return home and prepare for the start of his KHL season.<\/p>\n
He reportedly already took part in a charity game in Europe.<\/p>\n
The forward spent several weeks in the city this summer, here in Montreal, but it now appears that chapter has come to an end.<\/p>\n
He notably participated in the Canadiens’ development camp.<\/p>\n
The young forward even played in an LSHL game last week.<\/p>\n
But all signs point to Zharovsky’s Montreal adventure being over (for this summer).<\/p>\n
He may even already be back home by now.<\/p>\n
Alexander Zharovsky’s Montreal visit should ease his eventual Canadiens transition<\/p>\n
In one sense, it’s unfortunate to see him leave, but his departure was expected.<\/p>\n
The young forward remains under contract with Salavat Yulaev Ufa for one more season in the KHL.<\/p>\n
His return to North America will therefore have to wait until the end of the 2026-27 season, barring any unexpected developments.<\/p>\n
That said, the positive side of this visit should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n
Zharovsky had the opportunity to experience Montreal and become familiar with the city where he could soon settle permanently.<\/p>\n
He now knows the Canadiens’ facilities in Brossard. That kind of familiarity makes the transition much easier when the time comes to sign.<\/p>\n
When Zharovsky returns for good, he won’t be arriving in unfamiliar territory, and that’s a valuable advantage.<\/p>\n
