Could you sign please?

As the Bruins continue readying for the season, they signed number one draft pick (8th overall) to an entry level contract and resigned goalie Jordan Sigalet, who to this point, has played his entire pro career with the Providence Bruins. Hamill wont wear a Boston Bruins uniform, and probably wont even don the Providence yellow and black this season. Barring an amazing performance in training camp, he will probably rejoin his junior team, the Everett Silvertips, for another year before joining the ranks of the AHL. Through his agent, Hamill said he was very happy to have his contract settled before another season on the ice began. Here's a clip from the Boston Globe describing the financials:

"First-round pick Zach Hamill signed a three-year entry-level deal today that will pay the center the CBA-mandated maximum of $875,000 per season. The salary includes an $87,500 signing bonus. The 18-year-old Hamill signed a two-way deal, so he will earn $65,000 per season in the AHL, although he's expected to return to Everett, his junior team, in 2007-08. Hamill could also earn a total of $500,000 per season in Individual A bonuses (categories include goals, assists, points, plus/minus, points per game, All-Rookie Game appearance, All-Star Game appearance), $75,000 more than No. 7 pick Jakub Voracek agreed to with the Columbus Blue Jackets last Friday. "

As I mentioned above, the team also resigned goalie Jordan Sigalet. He is slated to back-up prodigy Tuukka Rask and help acclimate the Finnish youngster to the game and life in general on this side of the pond. Sigalet's accomplishments in goal are often overshadowed by his battle with MS, which although certainly noteworthy, should not under mind his play between the pipes. Last season in Providence, Sigalet was slated to carry the load, and looked good early, but a struggling Hannu Toivonen forced Jordan to a backup role for most of the year. (Wow, now doesn't Scott Gordon wish he had Sigalet in there, rather than the newest Boston castoff) Still Sigalet finished with good numbers finishing with a 15-5 record, a 2.39 GAA, .915 save percentage and THREE shutouts. Not too shabby! Sigalet must be very comfortable in Providence, seeing as Boston had tremendous depth in goal and Jordan will probably never patrol a goal at the Garden. (I said depth, not quality depth)
