There's A Surprising Name On The Boston Bruins' Training Camp Roster

Earlier this week, Aaron Ness signed a professional tryout contract with the Seattle Kraken. Yet, the 31-year-old defenseman will now be attending training camp for the Boston Bruins. A deal of any sort has yet to be released to the public. It seems that a contract for the season could end up being signed, though.

It all starts tomorrow.

Ness appeared in just one NHL game this past season with the Arizona Coyotes. In it, he failed to record a point. During the 2019-20 season, he also played 24 games with the Coyotes and had an assist. In 17 AHL game that same year, he scored two goals and had nine points.

Ness also had a 55-point campaign in 71 games with the Hershey Bears during the 2018-19 season, so he can be an effective point-producer at the AHL level. He also previously was a captain for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers during the 2014-15 season. Therefore, he has a lot of overall experience and could be a nice leader for Providence.

It's never a bad thing to add depth and Ness would provide that if Boston officially signs him. We will have to wait and see if that is going to occur.
