Austin Czarnik is an intriguing free agent

This time of year in free agency preparations it is always interesting to see when teams announce plans for the future. The Boston Bruins did yesterday:

Sweeney on Paul Postma, Kenny Agostino, Brian Gionta and Austin Czarnik:

“Postma, Agostino, Gionta will not be offered contracts...I think Austin [Czarnik] is intrigued by what may exist elsewhere. We certainly haven’t closed the door. We don’t think he has as well.”— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) May 31, 2018

Paul Postma is big and a RH shot, he’s never really caught on in the NHL but as a 7/8 type guy he wouldn’t be a bad option at all, though he might find a better situation or role somewhere else to try and be someone’s “Chad Ruhwedel” type of signing.
