The NHL free agency feeding frenzy commenced at noon on Saturday.
It took Milan Lucic all of one minute to reaffirm his desire to return to Boston.
At 12:01 p.m. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney received a text from Lucic, with the Boston fan favorite donning a new baseball cap adorned with the spoked-B.
Lucic, currently out in Los Angeles, went out to a local store to buy a new cap to celebrate the occasion.
After all, it’s been a long time coming.
“I’ve thought about this moment for the past seven years,” Lucic said on Saturday via Zoom, his unblemished new headwear still in place.
