The Bruins and veteran forward Jay Pandolfo have agreed to a one-year deal, according to a source. The agreement was first reported by TSN’s Bob McKenzie, with Pandolfo receiving a prorated $600,000 deal.

Pandolfo, who has been with the Bruins on a tryout since training camp, must clear waivers before he can play with the team. The B’s placed him on waivers on Tuesday and he is scheduled to clear waivers Wednesday at noon.

A native of Burlington, the 38-year-old Pandolfo has played 881 games in the NHL with 100 goals and 126 assists for 226 points.

    Hard to believe he’s 38. I remember watching him at BU and it doesn’t seem that long ago. Little veteran experience is never a bad thing. I doubt he still has that high motor but we’ll see.

    ENGLISH!!!??!!!!!?? DO YOU SPEAK IT???!!!!!!???

    Sniper???   He never had more than 14 goals and 27 points in a season!   He is known as a defensive left wing who was good on the PK.  I guess if you lose a couple of good PK guys like Paille, Kelly or Campbell he could step in on the 4th line and play on a PK unit, but I am surprised the organization shelled out a pro-rated $600k for him.

    Jarome Iginla is the prize here people…if not…Milan Hejduk of Col…then Alex Kovalev/or bring back Brad Boyes if we have injuries…

  • Schwank

    Signed for Depth

  • Marchmont

    I played against Pandolfo in high school. Haha. That was a long time ago.
    Good pickup though, I wonder what this means for Chris Bourque. Will be fun to see it pan out.

    You guys think hes gonna end up playing with Marchmont?

  • Titletown1

    I understand this move if it means replacing Bourque. But the B’s still need a no kidding goal scorer….

    just like the celtics…come on, there is plenty of youth out there looking for a job.

  • Schwank

    One more point to add….in his prime he was a defensive specialist…..good on the penalty kill and known as solid contributor on shut down lines.  Hope he has tread left on the tires.
