Nicknamed "The Sheriff," Hnidy played in 108 games for Boston over a season and a half from 2008 to 2009. He scored four goals and had 13 assists during his time in black and gold.
Hnidy could join an already solid defensive core that includes Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuck and last week's big acquisition, Tomas Kaberle.
