The Providence Bruins have signed forward Josh Bloom to a one-year, two-way AHL contract for the upcoming season. This signing comes as part of the team's effort to reshape its roster after significant offseason changes. Bloom, 23, a former third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, aims to carve out a role with Providence after spending the past few seasons transitioning between the AHL and ECHL. He previously played with the Abbotsford Canucks and Kalamazoo Wings, and after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Edmonton Oilers, he enters this opportunity as an unrestricted free agent.
