Interesting, I thought there was a roster freeze?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

There were a few of us here who were hoping for this.

Shows the foresight of Don Sweeney that he knew the pandemic was coming just so he could trickle out Bruins signings over the lockdown.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Wow! Didn't see that coming....

I figured the Coyotes would sign him

good stuff

Nice to see, I assume it is a 2020/21 contract at this point.

They like the kid, seems to have good size, maybe he can develop into a steady 5-7 defenseman who can add a physical edge

 

[Smitty93]

I've never seen him play, but how's his skating? His size and defensive game are positives, but it's not going to matter if he's a poor-to-mediocre skater. I think it would be hard for him to be an NHL player if that's the case.

 

[Dr Hook]

Another Left shot d-man. Awesome because the Bruins don't have enough of those in the pipeline. Seriously, I hope he is good and good enough to make a mark, but what a stack of competition he has in front of him to even get a sniff of the big club right now (and for the forseeable future).

Adam McQuaid’s large adult son?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Was he a highly sought player?

NHL upside?

No freeze, just all contracts must start 20/21.

Saw him in the last two dev camps. Think of a partial Carlo size-reach-defense with Clifton hitting.

Worth some time in Providence could end up being a surprise in a few years. If not he will still be a good add from the P-Bruins, IMO.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

He sounds like a great pickup! Love the description above.

Is it ever nice to have some good Bruins news...

The Bruins are, in my opinion, the best NHL franchise at identifying and developing these undrafted NCAA free agents. Hopefully Wolff follows the same path as all the other ones the Bruins have found over the past decade or so.

When did you discover the shift key?

my niece showed me today. what a huge victory. i still won't use it often

another thing to like about wolff is duluth just seems to coach their guys the right way.
look at kuhlman, guy was a pro from day 1.

I've been telling people that for awhile too(not on here). Krug, Miller, Vatrano, Acciari, Clifton, Kuhlman....that's quite track record and I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Hopefully add Zech and Wolff to that list on the next few years.

I wanted them to sign Wolff last year but he decided to stay in school so I'm very pleased with this move.

First thing I thought of was this. About Wolfman Jack.

Clap for the Wolfman
He gonna rate your record high
Clap for the Wolff-man
You gonna' dig him till the day you die

Any of the old timers guess who sang this one?

 

[Scruffy]

Bottom pairing McQuaid type with snarl for free? Sign Me Up!

Saw him live in Orlando at Halloween Horror Nights(Universal Studios) many years back.

Good show, he had a ball and I had never heard of him until then, lots of old folks stayed and enjoyed the show instead of hitting the shows or rides. Glad I did too.
He was still great.

And they may not be done yet.
