The Boston Bruins have agreed to terms with winger Michael Ryder on a three-year deal at $4 million per season.
The contract is still being finalized but the two parties have agreed to terms pending the final paperwork being in order.
Ryder, 28, scored 14 goals and 31 points in 70 games with the Montreal Canadiens last season. Taken 216th overall by Montreal in 1998, the Bonavista, Newfoundland native scored 99 goals and 207 points in 314 career games.
The move reunites Ryder with head coach Claude Julien, who coached him in Montreal, Hamilton of the American Hockey League and Hull of the Quebec Major Junior League.
