"We are happy to sign this young player to complete our trio of Canadian goalkeepers," Montreal president and CEO Gabriel Gervais said. "Emil is a mature player who has progressed well since his debut. He is an imposing goalkeeper with a lot of potential. We are looking forward to having him in Montreal."
