- The Bruins announced earlier today that they’ve re-signed forward Georgii Merkulov to a one-year, two-way deal worth $775K at the NHL level. PuckPedia adds (Twitter link) that the deal will pay $235K in the AHL and has a guaranteed salary of $270K. The 24-year-old got into six games with Boston this past season, notching one assist but he was much more productive in the minors with AHL Providence. With them, he led the team in scoring with 15 goals and 39 assists in 59 appearances. Merkulov will be waiver-eligible beginning next season which could give him a leg up in a battle for a roster spot in training camp.
