Brett Connolly, Jimmy Hayes, Brandon DeFazio all (re-)sign with Bruins

The Bruins signed a trio of deals today, they just announced. Here they are:

• Brett Connolly signed for 1.025 million for one year
• Jimmy Hayes signed for 2.3 million per year for the next 3 years
• Brandon DeFazio signed a 2-way deal worth 575k at the NHL level

Congratulations to all three players. Brett Connolly hasn't played enough time in the NHL to have a HERO chart, but here's Jimmy Hayes:

Not bad for 2.3 million, to be honest. For comparison, here's the chart for Reilly Smith, who was traded for him (and costs 3.425 million against the cap):

Chalk one up in the "positives" column, in my estimation.
