Boston, MA

The Boston Bruins caught lightning in a bottle last season when they signed Danton Heinen to a professional tryout (PTO). This marked a return to the Bruins for Heinen, a fourth-round pick by the team in 2014. This PTO eventually led to a one-year contract for Heinen, who would outperform his $775,000 deal by just about every metric. He turned that one-year prove-it deal into a sizeable pay raise this offseason when signing a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks. What many people don’t mention is that the Bruins also brought in Alex Chiasson on a PTO last offseason. Though the team didn’t sign him to a contract, it was still worth a spot in camp to see if there was a fit between player and organization.
