I suppose this puts an end to the Mike Mottau era of Bruins hockey.
At any rate, it's nice to have finally have couple of guys with legitimate NHL experience to stash in either Providence or the press box. Exelby/Johnson are certainly both upgrades over the Bartkowski/Kampfer type call-ups the B's have used the past few years.

Good to see another Nova Scotian on the team.
And a Caper, no less. Aren't many of them in the NHL.
Absolutely a depth signing. If he plays more than 10 games in the NHL next year, I'll be very surprised and horrified.

Honestly, he'd make a decent 7th. Very happy with getting a player of his caliber on a 2 way near-min.
