As Paul noted, Brett Skinner has come aboard as well. IHDB. Skinner may be most memorable here for being the target of Micheal Haley’s anger back up at Providence on the darkest day of the season, but he was an All-Star last year in his third pro season. He scored 18 points on the power play (one of his two PPGs came at Bridgeport) and — while I shudder to bring this up — was 8-for-12 in shootout attempts (tops in conversions, tops in attempts, second to short-termer David Krejci (6-for-6) in percentage), helping the P-Broons go 11-4 in the bonus round.
Meanwhile, the Bears may have just gotten even stronger, though we hope not, just for his sake: Keith Aucoin signed with Washington for two years.
