The Boston Bruins announced three more signings in advance of the opening of Free Agent Frenzy tomorrow.
Henri Jokiharju returns on a 3Y/$3MAAV deal, Johnny Beecher is back at 1Y/$900K and Michael DiPietro stays at 2Y/$815K. Jokiharju makes a lot of sense to keep depth on the right side of the defense. I’d love to see him play more with Lindholm or Lohrei and let Peeke be the defensive stopgap alongside Zadorov, but he ends up being a solid bottom pairing option. Johnny Beecher stays mainly because his free agent value wasn’t high and he was the most baseline of the fourth liners last season.
