On
the first day of NHL free agency, five former Terriers were on the move, with
Kevin Shattenkirk and Nick Bonino making the biggest splashes. New York native
Shattenkirk, who had been traded to Washington late in the season, signed a
four-year, $26.6 million deal with his hometown New York Rangers, realizing a
childhood dream of playing for the Blueshirts.
Congrats to classmates Nick Bonino & Kevin Shattenkirk on big paydays with new teams. 4-year deals worth a combined $43 million! #ProudToBU— BU Men's Hockey (@TerrierHockey) July 1, 2017
Bonino—Shattenkirk’s
teammate on the 2009 BU national championship team—had won the Stanley Cup the past two
seasons in Pittsburgh, but got the four-year $16.5 million contract he sought
from Nashville. The Predators have multiple
connections with BU. Matt O’Connor signed a two-way deal with Nashville and
three draft picks—Dante Fabbro, Patrick Harper and David Farrrance—along with
Hank Crone are in Nashville development camp. A pair of longtime team staffers
are assistant GM Paul Fenton and Chief Amateur Scout Jeff Kealty.
However, the Bonino signing made longtime Predator Colin Wilson—another standout on the
2009 BU squad—expendable and he was traded to Colorado for a fourth-round pick
in the 2019 draft. The former All-American had 237 points in 502 games for
Nashville.
After
spending last season with the Manitoba Moose, Brian Strait heads back East,
signing a two-way deal with New Jersey. He’d previously played four seasons
with the New York Islanders.
Defenseman
Adam Clendening, who played 31 games last season with the Rangers, has signed on
with the Arizona Coyotes and will be looking to assume a full-time role.
Clendening has also had stints with Chicago, Pittsburgh and Edmonton

Undrafted junior Bobo Carpenter is in Penguins development camp and, according to some observers, has been one of the top forwards.
2018
recruit Ryan O’Donnell is in Toronto development camp. The defenseman from Gloucester,
Ontario will play for BCHL Penticton next season.
