(I didn’t realize until I wrote this post that it never made sense to call them PTOs instead of PTAs, but here we are).
The Bruins announced their first PTO of the season this morning, signing forward Alex Chiasson to a PTO.
Chiasson spent last season with the Detroit Red Wings and the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL, skating in 20 and 29 games, respectively, for those teams.
The 32-year-old forward (who will be 33 on October 1) 6G-3A-9PTS totals at the NHL level and 9G-11A-20PTS totals at the AHL level.
