Bruins Sign Jay Pandolfo to One-Year Contract

[ProbieRules]

Out of nowhere comes noboby with nothing...Who does he replace in the lineup? I hope this is an extreme depth signing, dreadful IMO. Hopefully he's like the 15th forward in case of injury...yikes.

If not Bourque, we'll get Pandolfo instead.

Either get some legit PP help (Iginla) or don't bother. This just makes it harder for MacDermid to get into the lineup. Bourque and Pandolfo are useless...sorry to say.

According to the guys on the Bruins pre-game show, Pandolfo organized many of the Bruins' conditioning and training sessions during the lockout. They're saying that Pandolfo is going to serve more as a mentor to the young guys in the AHL, and as depth in case one of Boston's important penalty killers suffers an injury.

But yeah Rolston was a joke last year, along with Zanon, Mottau etc...

I thought Rolston played pretty well for a 39 year old with the Bruins. 15 points in 21 games isn't half bad.

Being a Devil fan, I'm a big fan of Jay Pandolfo, but I don't like this move with him on Boston. I don't think he'll make Boston any better.

Not really a move for help on the NHL side I hope, all Boston needs is a third liner to put besides Peverley and Kelly, Bourque is the weakest link on the team right now don't know why he's on the power play, making a terrible power play worse. Honestly right after the power play the Bruins dominate the offensive zone way better like they are actually on the power play. Just get a solid third liner, doesn't even need to help with the power play, although someone who could shoot the puck would be nice. The team is really set all around other than that spot, rather see MacDermid on the third line over Bourque at least he brings something to the table.
