Bruins fans are happy after team decided to cut ties with this player
The Boston Bruins decided to forego signing UFA defenseman Derek Forbort.
As a result, he walked in free-agency and would be swooped up by GM Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks, as a depth defenseman.
Forbort would sign a meager 1X$1.5 Million dollar deal, as the 2nd former Bruin to sign with the Canucks this week.
Derek Forbort is headed to Vancouver with DeBrusk. Terms soon #NHLBruins #GetBent
Fans disliked him for his consistent turnovers, and that can turn any player into an easy villain.
Derek Forbort, signed 1x$1.5M by VAN, is a physical third-pairing defenceman. A bit turnover-prone, which made many fans dislike him in Boston, but also a great penalty killer and strong chance suppressor. BOS gave up basically no oddman or cross-slot chances with him on the ice.
But with Zadarov taking over in Boston, a new leafs has turned and the Bruins blueline will change considerably, and for the better.
