It is Wednesday, my dudes.

While we all await the bigger Bruins UFA decisions, Dealin' Don crossed another small item off the to-do list yesterday, signing GOOD LOCAL BOY Marc McLaughlin to a new deal.

The Billerica boy's deal is a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level.

McLaughlin had himself a good year in Providence, with 30 points in 66 games.

He's someone who's firmly in the glut of guys competing for a bottom-six NHL role next year, and it's never bad to have that depth back in the fold.
