Acquisition: Bruins bolster roster with top goalie prospect after letting another go
The Boston Bruins organization made an announcement that goaltender prospect Keegan Warren will be out with their organization to which they ended up adding goaltender Andrew Oke of the Saginaw spirit.
Warren was slated to join the Bruins prospect camp but failed his physical, which caused the team to cut him from the roster. According to eliteprospects.com, the 18-year-old prospect who stands at six foot 2 and 185 lbs currently plays for the Moncton Wildcats of the QJMHL.
Oke on the other hand, who also stands at six foot 2 and is 184 lbs is 20 years old and has been on a winning organization as The Spirit won the Memorial Cup last year. He held a record of 29-10-1 with goals against average of 2.89 and a save percentage of .890.
The Bruins goaltending situation remains unsettled as the team and Jeremy Swayman continued to discuss a new contract. The Bruins have a few goalie options in their system including Brandon Bussi who appears to be poised and ready to play in the NHL. He's expected to challenge for the backup spot which includes former Ottawa Senators goalie Joonas Korpisalo who was brought over in a trade earlier this summer with former Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark.
The Bruins will continue to work with their prospects and hope that one of these players will become part of the starting group behind Swayman.
