The Boston Bruins reportedly have signed defenseman Rob Kwiet to a three-year contract.

A 6'2'' 224-pound free agent, Kwiet is attending this week's rookie development camp in Wilmington, Mass.

Kwiet, 20, played for the Memorial Cup-winning Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League last season and put up excellent numbers -- 12-55-67 in 66 games. Many of his points came on the power play, where he was paired with Nashville first-round draft pick Ryan Ellis. Windsor's PP also included Taylor Hall, who could be the first pick in next year's NHL draft.

Kwiet will undoubtedly spend next season in Providence. He's an average skater and his defensive play needs a lot of polish.
