Iginla signs for Boston after all

Boston - Jarome Iginla has agreed to a one-year, $6 million contract with the Boston Bruins, TSN reports. The veteran right wing, who turned 36 Monday, declined a trade from the Calgary Flames to the Bruins in April, instead accepting a deal to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Iginla appeared in 44 games in 2012-13 between the Flames and Penguins, scoring 14 goals and adding 19 assists. He went 4-8-12 in 15 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where the Penguins were swept by the Bruins in the Eastern Conference Final. In 1,232 NHL games (Calgary and Pittsburgh), Iginla has 530 goals, 576 assists and 840 penalty minutes.
Winnipeg - The Winnipeg Jets bolstered their offense Friday, acquiring forward Devin Setoguchi in a trade with the Minnesota Wild. The Jets landed the speedy right wing in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, the team announced. Setoguchi, 26, finished fifth on the Wild in scoring in 2012-13 with 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 48 games. Five of his 13 goals came on the power play. He is a veteran of 384 games after beginning his career with the San Jose Sharks in 2007-08. He had a career-high 31 goals and 65 points in 2008-09.
