The Boston Bruins are officially bringing another local product into their prospect pipeline.
Boston announced on Sunday evening that it signed Providence College forward Riley Duran to a two-year, entry-level contract with an annual cap hit of $867,500.
Duran, who hails from Woburn, will report to the Providence Bruins on an ATO (amateur tryout contract) for the remainder of the 2023-24 season — with his entry-level deal not going into effect until next season.
A sixth-round pick (182nd overall) by Boston in the 2020 NHL Draft, Duran has played the last three seasons with the Friars — developing into a high-motor forward who could cause havoc in a bottom-six role at the next level.
