MeanSeanBean Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Good for him, I sincerely hope he finds a job. In a different time line I would have loved to see him add some grit to our bottom lines, but he was fighting a numbers game. Wish him all the best, even if it is with the Bruins... yuck...

The Bruins have always liked players of a distinctive or typical style, form, or character. Virtanen would fit the Boston, Philly type too.

Hopefully it meant White catching on with one of the more reputable teams in the NHL (although I'm not sure the Bruins qualify ). If the intent was to suggest Vancouver isn't a reputable organization, I don't really agree. They gave a fringe player a chance to showcase his talent and earn a spot. Not sure what more could be expected of a PTO signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
