Ebbing
agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Canadiens on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old is best known for his puck work with Michigan State University, having spent the past four seasons with the Spartans in the Big-10 Conference. Scouts admire Ebbing's rigid work ethic and hockey smarts, but we'll need to see him at work outside of the collegiate level to get a better idea on how well he can parlay his talents to hockey's highest level. The Michigan native dropped in a mere 14 goals and 41 assists over 143 games with Sparty, though there must be serious potential with Ebbing since he's earned his first NHL contract.
