Good fit for the guy I think. Trotz will have to work him over a bit but there seems upside yet.

The Bruins gave up two second round picks to acquire him just last season. One year later, he is signing for near minimum value.

Cautionary tale: it is not always wise to pay the price for former top picks.

Caps paid market price for an unproven injury prone player.

Boston really is a sinking ship. Good luck to them the rest of the way.
