The 34-year-old veteran could play left wing or right wing on the third line in Boston.
Betting that JVR is still someone who can approach 20 goals over the course of a full season is a worthy gamble for the Bruins, especially at the small price of only $1 million.
Van Riemsdyk also gives the Bruins a good net-front presence, specifically on the power play, which they'll need if Tyler Bertuzzi leaves in free agency. Van Riemsdyk has scored 33 power play goals over the last five seasons. James van Riemsdyk, signed 1x$1M by BOS, is a veteran middle-six winger who is roughly average in most areas of the game. Still has a bit of net-front ability but he’s not nearly as prolific in that area of the ice as he used to be.
