Breaking: Bruins finally get in on UFA action, sign former 1st round pick

After watching star players like Artemi Panarin, Matt Duchene, Joe Pavelski and Wayne Simmonds sign deals on the opening day of free agency, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has FINALLY made a move. But… don’t expect it to excite fans all that much. Sweeney has signed former 1st round draft pick Brendan Gaunce to a one year, two-way contract.
