Poor Kai Wissmann — gets an NHL deal, announced during a clusterf*** of a time for his new organization.
The Bruins announced on Tuesday afternoon that they’ve signed Wissmann to a one-year, entry-level contract, bringing the German defenseman into the fold.
The deal counts for $825,000 against the cap.
Wissmann is a big dude: 6’ 4”, 207 pounds. The right-shot defenseman has spent his entire career in Germany, most recently playing for Eisbaren Berlin in Germany’s top division.
Eisbaren Berlin just won their second consecutive DEL title, so Wissmann is skipping town on a high note.
