The 36-year-old had a solid preseason showing, and Boston is thin on right-shot depth as it is, especially with Charlie McAvoy on the long-term injured reserve. Up until now, it was undecided if the 36-year-old would stay with the Bruins or not. However, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic and TSN was the first to report the news:
At just $1 million, the veteran is a very valuable contract and could be very crucial to the Bruins for the first few months that McAvoy is out. This is a move that may help the club more than people think.
