Today it was announced that Boston Bruins backup goaltender Niklas Svedberg signed a one year deal to play in Russia. He will be playing for team Salavat in the Continental Hockey League.
Well, this just adds one more problem to the Bruins current troubles. They’ll have to add back-up goaltender to the list of things they’ll need to address once they get a new general manager installed. Now the Bruins will have to decide if Jeremy Smith or Malcolm Subban will be ready to take over as the number two man in Boston.
