One of the most popular players in Bruins history is returning to Boston for the 2023-24 NHL season.
The Bruins traded Lucic to the Los Angeles Kings in the summer of 2015, closing an eight-year run in Boston. He has played for the Kings, Edmonton Oilers and Flames over the last eight years.
What kind of role can we expect Lucic to play in Boston? Probably something similar to what Nick Foligno gave the Bruins last season. Lucic will provide toughness, bottom-six scoring and veteran leadership. He'll likely play fourth-line left wing or be the extra forward. Lucic tallied 19 points in 77 games for the Flames last season.
Earlier on Saturday, the Bruins agreed to sign center Morgan Geekie and left wing James van Riemsdyk in free agency.
