Confirmed with Link: Bruins Sign Free Agent Defenseman Wisconsin Captain Frankie Simonelli

[GarbageGoal]

I watched 3/4 Wisconsin games this winter and he never stood out. That said obviously if the Bruins are interested he must be able to play.

Im very high on McCabe and think he'll transition to the pros well.

My theory on defensemen is that isn't the worst thing in the world.

Groundbreaking theory.

Weren't there a couple of teams looking to nab this guy? Or am I thinking of somebody different?

The Bruins now have a track record with these types (fair to say, no?). It makes me very happy to hear when a signing of this ilk happens. Even with little to zero knowledge about the specific player.

"yeaaaaah, I think we should call him up from june-yahs in Providence and pair him with Chah-rah......"

 

[jgatie]

any relation to the former Boston defenseman by almost the same name?

I was going to say, isn't Frank Simonetti a little old? Did they claim him off the alumni team?

I have learned to respect PC in Readards to these type of Pick Up.

Are they gonna move Tommy Cross's locker to the basement? And give him some insect spray to take care of the cockroach problem while he's down there?
