Bruins Rumors: James Van Riemdsyk Agrees to 1-Year, $1M Contract in Free Agency

The Philadelphia Flyers' teardown continues with James van Riemsdyk.

Van Riemsdyk agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Boston Bruins in free agency after five seasons with the Flyers, according to Frank Sevaralli of Daily Faceoff.

With the Flyers entering a full-scale rebuild, van Riemsdyk's departure this summer was more than expected, especially as the franchise was shopping him around the 2022-23 season's trade deadline.

The 34-year-old had a solid five seasons in Philadelphia, though his production has declined every year since he joined the team in 2018-19 and re-signing him this offseason wasn't worth it for Daniel Briere.
