Nice. Glad Matty Irwin is still getting play time. He's a solid bottom pairing guy that can chip in some shots from the point on the PP.
Love this signing.

He can't skate. Subban could give him a half rink head start and catch him skating backwards.

Surprised this isn't a two-way deal, and for two years... ouch. Hopefully it is for the minimum.

Irwin is likely Milwaukee bound. Can't see him beating out our top 7 (assuming Weber indeed signed with us)

Per Friedman's correction, it's a one-year, two-way deal.

I wanted to like him but this guy had the worst performances I've ever seen in a Bruins uniform. He is BAAAD.

As long as he never plays in the NHL, it's fine.
Terrible defenseman. The two games he played for us were horrendous. Was personally responsible for an absurd amount of goals against in two games.

Don’t say eye test when you mean points
Not going to lie, every time I read this guy's name, in my head, I hear a think Australian accent:
Good signing as long as he doesn't get killed by a stingray. I think there's a recapture penalty for that.
Being traded to the Bruins (bears) and then signing to the Predators (Sabre tooth tiger) does nothing to change my inability to keep his name and the Crocodile Hunter's name straight.

Irwin's only asset is his shot. That's it. He can't skate, he can't play defense. He showed flashes of being an NHL player for short periods at a time, then would just completely fall apart.

The original, baby
Played at UMass, and Paul Fenton loves east coast NCAA guys. That, combined with learning that it's a two-way deal, tells me that it's likely a strictly Milwaukee deal.
Do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT let Irwin see NHL time...even if you think "oh whatever just for a game playing 6th d minutes..can't hurt"
DON'T. The guy was consistently directly responsible for goals in his very short stint in Boston. Those goals directly led to losses too for the Bruins to begin the year.
Can't skate and is just terrible decision making with the puck..he scored with his bomb of a shot in the preseason and with injury, guess that was enough to get him a look in NHL...but oh man.
Not even exaggerating, one of the worst D I've ever seen play for the Bruins.
Keep him in the AHL and you'll be fine.

He couldn't even make the Bruins terrible defense last year.
Unless he's improved, I don't see him being anything but an emergency call up.
Seemed like he had promise, but man, he was a let down.
