How This Newly Acquired Bruin Found Out He Was Becoming a Free Agent
Morgan Geekie, the new addition to the Boston Bruins, faced an unexpected twist in his hockey journey this offseason.
After a strong performance with the Seattle Kraken in the 2022-23 season, Geekie received the surprising news that the Kraken didn't extend a qualifying offer to him. What made it even more surprising was how he found out - through Twitter.
Despite the unconventional notification, Geekie harbors no ill feelings toward the Kraken. He expressed gratitude for the two seasons he spent with the expansion team, recognizing that hockey is ultimately a business.
Geekie secured a fresh start with the Bruins, signing a two-year, $4 million deal on the first day of free agency. He is expected to play a pivotal role, likely centering either Boston's third or fourth line. Joining a historic Original Six team like the Bruins is a dream come true for Geekie, who is excited to contribute to the organization's legacy.
In the midst of this unexpected turn of events, Geekie is looking forward to his new chapter with the Bruins, leaving the past behind and focusing on the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
