Internet sources are confirming that the Boston Bruins have locked up defenseman Adam McQuaid to a 2-year contract. Salary figures have not yet been disclosed. The B's also signed recently acquired forward Gregory Campbell, defenseman Andrew Bodnarchuk, and forward Jeff LoVecchio. Campbell's contract was a 2-year deal like McQuaid's.
When salary figures come out, we'll be sure to note any interesting numbers. Still, Peter Chiarelli continues to stay true to his word. He mentioned during rookie development camp week that they planned to sign McQuaid and let him compete for a spot in the defensive core with everyone else. Additionally, despite speculation that they may not bother with him, Chiarelli kept recently acquired grinder Gregory Campbell. Among the few players left to re-sign, Blake Wheeler awaits the offers that come from his recent filing for arbitration. Sources say that the two sides are still working to agree on a deal without having to go through the arbitration process. If the Bruins ultimately decline the arbitration offers, Wheeler would become an unrestricted free agent.
The roster is finally starting to take its full form, and we just continue to count the days until the Boston Bruins season opener from Prague.
