Boston Bruins Sign Big, Physical Defenseman to Multi-Year Deal

The Boston Bruins have announced the signing of unrestricted free agent defenseman Nikita Zadorov to a six-year, $30 million deal with an annual salary cap hit of $5 million per year. The former Vancouver Canucks defenseman will bring physicality to the blue line and fills a true need in Boston’s lineup. The Bruins have left-shot defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Mason Lohrei as puck-moving options and Parker Wotherspoon becomes the seventh defenseman with this acquisition.
