My sources tell me Boston Bruins have signed AHL MVP Kenny Agostino to 1-year free-agent contract. Worth $850k

Kenny Agostino's one-year, $850,000 contract is a one-way deal

Agostino has spend part of the last few seasons between the NHL and the AHL, first with the Calgary Flames and last year with the St. Louis Blues. He tallied 24 goals and 59 assists, a total of 83 points, en route to winning AHL MVP, and looking at his progression from his seasons in the AHL, it’s a risk worth taking on Sweeney’s part to see if he’s ready for the big time.
EDIT (Saturday, 1:00 PM): Bob McKenzie has confirmed this move.
I believe this was reported by multiple others yesterday, but in case you missed it, AHL MVP Kenny Agostino to BOS, 1 yr, $875K.
