Bruins sign Hunwick to multi-year deal


Multiple sources have indicated that the Boston Bruins have signed defenceman Matt Hunwick to a multi year contract extension. The deal is believed to be a two or three year deal. The deal has been struck just four days before Hunwick's scheduled arbitration hearing.

The Bruins will officially announce the signing tomrrow and terms of the deal should be in by then.

Hunwick scored six goals with 21 assists as a rookie last season. The 27 points placed him third among Bruins defencemen. He played in one post-season game before having his spleen removed and missing the rest of the playoffs.

Hunwick, 24, was a seventh-round draft pick in 2004 and played four years of college hockey at Michigan.
