Bruins sign veteran Glen Metropolit

The Bruins announced today that they signed veteran center Glen Metropolit. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but I'm expecting that he was signed to a one-year deal.

From BostonBruins.com:
"Last season, Metropolit split time between the Atlanta Thrashers and St. Louis Blues and totaled 14 goals and 19 assists in 77 games with the two clubs. He appeared in 57 games with the Thrashers before being traded to St. Louis along with three draft picks (a first and third round pick in 2007 and a second round pick in 2008) for Keith Tkachuk on February 25, 2007."

With Metropolit making the team I'm expecting him to be the Bruins' fourth line center and that means that either Jeremy Reich or Milan Lucic to be scratched at times.
