The Bruins have finally signed this forward.
The Hockey News' Emma Lingan and Michael Augello break down the latest Brad Marchand buzz.
The Boston Bruins have signed forward Tyler Johnson to a one-year, $775,000 contract.
Johnson, 34, joined the Bruins on a professional tryout (PTO) for training camp and stuck around with the team following it, even without a deal. However, he now officially has a contract for the season, so he can get into game action.
The Bruins undoubtedly need more scoring, so bringing in Johnson on this cheap one-year deal makes sense. The veteran forward appeared in 67 games last season with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he had 17 goals and 31 points.
