Bruins Sign Brian McGrattan to One-Year Contract

The Boston Bruins announced today that they have signed right wing Brian McGrattan to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He attended the Bruins' training camp on a tryout basis. In 34 games last season with the Calgary Flames, he had one goal and three assists for four points and 86 penalty minutes. He was a healthy scratch for much of the 2009-10 season. This is really just a depth signing for Boston, as McGrattan will likely be assigned to Providence of the AHL. However, if he does play any games with the Bruins this season, he will bring lots of grit, toughness, and physical play to the forward lines.
