Brett Ritchie To Sign With Boston Bruins

July 1, 2019 at 11:57 am CDT | by Zach Leach 6 Comments

The Bruins are set to add a depth piece up front, as TVA’s Renaud Lavoie reports that former Dallas Star forward Brett Ritchie will join the team. It is expected to be a one-year deal in the $1MM range for the 26-year-old winger.

Ritchie gives the team an fourth-line option as the 6-foot-4, 220-pound winger will add some size and grit to the team after the Bruins lost Noel Acciari to Florida earlier in the day. However, he will still have to prove himself as the Stars opted to not qualify Ritchie last week, allowing him to become a free agent.

The 26-year-old looked like a promising player for the Stars, who drafted him in the second round in 2011. He flashed some offense in his first full season in the 2016-17 season when he potted 16 goals and 24 points. However, those numbers dropped to seven goals and 14 points the following year before only scoring four goals last season in 53 games and saw himself bounced out of the lineup by the end of the season. A physical presence who has been known to throw down against other big players such as Colton Parayko and Tom Wilson, Ritchie will have to prove that he can outplay other depth players for Boston.

    Why is Boston collecting garbage today? Srsly, they might as well be on the side of the road with an orange vest at this point.

    Before today I was hoping to trade some RFA’s and younger folks for established vets like Chris Kreider. Now that it’s FA season, I was hoping for… anyone that wasn’t among the most useless cast-offs for their prospective teams. Boston is already full of guys able to play bottom-6 minutes. Would have loved Simmonds, would have taken Panik at that contract, would have taken the Hamburglar over Lagace, would have even signed Corey Perry since it looks like he took a one-year deal with Dallas. Making it to Game 7 of the p-offs, watching guys like MarJo and Acciari walk for nothing then Hoovering up chaff like Ritchie & Lagace is deflating to say the least.

    Because I guess they haven’t gotten Charlie McEvoy signed long term yet.
