Confirmed Signing with Link: [BOS] F Tyler Johnson signs with the Bruins (1 year, $775k)

[Sinbad]

What did he say?

Commented on how some departing players were too busy sulking about their roles on the team rather than embracing what they were being asked to do and playing hard for the guys in the room.

What would he bring at this point?

Considering the comments from Foligno at the end of last season and it seems to me there were more than a few players that were happy to see TJ walk out the door.

So that s from Nick good in the room Foligno,who cares!!

What would he bring at this point?

The hope is some finishing ability to pair with the Bruins plethora of cycle and grid guys that don't know how to score. And perhaps something on the PP which is has been so bad in Boston once teams figured out that if you shadow Pasta that the Bruins other forwards ain't gonna make you pay for it.

But, it's obviously a placeholder move as Tyler Johnson at 600 years old ain't gonna solve the Bruins scoring woes.

How many players left the team in the offseason?

But He’s a shell of what he was in Tampa and is made of glass.

He was also a shell of what he was in Tampa, when he was still in Tampa.

Would've been better signing Kessel. Infinitely better than Tyler Johnson.

You assume Phil wants to play for the Bruins ever again.

And you shouldn't assume that Boston has any interest in bringing back Kessel.
