Michael Ryder gets 2 years / $7 million from the Dallas Stars - great timing for Michael and good luck to him - he helped us win a cup but that price is to steep for his production here on the 3rd line.

Decent minor signing to keep depth and competition for ice time on the team.

The Bruins made a minor splash on Day 1 of NHL free agency, signing former Canadiens winger Benoit Pouliot to a one-year deal reportedly worth $1.1 million. Pouliot was the No. 4-overall pick of Minnesota in 2005, but hasn’t exactly prospered. He had just 13-17–30 last season for the Habs and is seen as a chronic underachiever. He has 37-35–72 totals in 183 career games.
Pouliot did not endear himself to the Bruins when he had a fight with the much smaller David Krejci this season.
But Pouliot is 6-foot-3, 199 pounds, and just 24, so maybe he’s worth a shot. The B’s may see him as a replacement for departed UFA Mike Ryder, who signed a two-year deal with Dallas.
