Emond was released from his PTO with the Canadiens on Saturday.
The 23-year-old netminder was selected in the sixth round (176th overall) by the Sharks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Emond was part of the trade that sent Timo Meier from San Jose to New Jersey in February, but he wasn't retained by the Devils, making him a free agent at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

San Jose sent Emond, Timo Meier (upper body), Timur Ibragimov, Santeri Hatakka, Scott Harrington and a fifth-round pick to the Devils on Sunday in exchange for Fabian Zetterlund, Nikita Okhotyuk, Andreas Johnsson, Shakir Mukhamadullin and draft three picks, including a 2023 first.
Emond has appeared in four games with ECHL Wichita this season. He posted a 4.48 GAA and an .867 save percentage in 12 games with AHL San Jose during the 2021-22 campaign. The 22-year-old won't be fantasy relevant anytime soon.
