Bruins sign Zach Senyshyn to a one-year, two-way contract
Photo by Barry Chin/The Boston Globe via Probably the last shot for the kid. This is going to be like Christmas for the “everything sucks” crowd! The Bruins announced this afternoon that forward Zach Senyshyn has agreed to a new contract with the team. It’s a one-year, two-way deal that carries a cap hit of $700,000 at the NHL level. I can’t wait to post this on our Facebook page for people to go wild. You all know the drill by now: Senyshyn was picked ahead of Mat Barzal, Kyle Connor, etc. To this point, he hasn’t quite panned out. However, he’s shown steady progress in...

Morning Skate: White flag
An interesting move by an Original 6 club. It is Wednesday, my dudes. The week hasn’t exactly been filled with much Bruins-related content to discuss. Karson Kuhlman is back in the mix, which is cool, man. Other than that...crickets. Zdeno Chara remains unsigned. Jake DeBrusk remains unsigned. Big-name targets remain unsigned. World keeps spinnin’. The hockey world in general has had some news this week, however, as “voice of NBC” Doc Emerick announced his retirement from broadcasting. Personally, I like Emerick. I know plenty of people get annoyed by his wild vocabulary and folksy...

Sweeney comments on free agency, “depth opportunities,” and Zdeno Chara’s status
Photo by Dave Sandford/NHLI via Interesting stuff. Bruins GM Don Sweeney had a media availability this afternoon shortly after the team announced it had signed defenseman Matt Grzelcyk to a new contract. Needless to say, Grzelcyk wasn’t the only topic of conversation. The Bruins, by most accounts, have had a disappointing offseason thus far. While the addition of Craig Smith is a good move, the Bruins have seen one of their better defensemen leave for greener pastures and have missed out on several big-name free agents over the past week or so. As a result, it’s no surprise that...
