The Sheriff signs with Minnesota

Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher today announced the club has signed defenseman Shane Hnidy to a one-year contract.

My Take: Hnidy had no chance of fitting in here in Boston this season. Hnidy was a veteran sixth man who played physical . He will be known in Boston for the tilt on November 1, 2008 when it turned into a five-on-five brawl against the Dallas Stars. Bruins television announcer, Jack Edwards dubbed Hnidy, 'Sheriff Shane Hnidy,' a nickname that stuck for the rest of the season with fans.
