that was my thinking when putting the roster prediction together. although, getting rid of both boychuk & peverley would likely give them enough cap space for rask & horton.numbers wrote:I would also be surprised to see both of those players traded. I'm not totally against moving Boychuk, but he brings a physical presence that Hamilton, Krug, or Bartkowski dont, especially with Ference being gone.

Please make it Boychuck. I'd rather go into the season thin on defence. Allowing Krug, Bartkowski and Hamilton a lot of playing time and then picking up a d-man or two closer to the trade deadline.elliseamos wrote:I'm surprised by the "and" between those two players.Shawn Hutcheon: Hearing the Bruins won’t be re-signing Andrew Ference and could be looking to trade Rich Peverley and Johnny Boychuk.
this sounds good, if by less Horton means he'll take less than he made this year.

That Kunitz deal is pretty cap friendly for Pittsburgh.

I'm subscribing to the theory he's going to sign a one year deal with somebody, and then sign with TB next summer.MattA75 wrote:Let the bidding for Vinnie Lecavalier begin

I like the new rule that allows teams to talk to UFA's a couple days before UFA-day, it should make for quicker signings.

That's pretty much how it works... and if he signs anywhere else, he'll get booed mercilessly. For that reason, I kind of hope he lands in Toronto.warehouse wrote:"he's french canadian, he has to sign w/ the habs"-every french canadian fan
Montreal does make sense, though.

i am actually happy. he wants his money which i wont deny and someone will pay it. but his risk taking far outweighs his strengths because they happen at key moments. he is going to be a helluva great defenseman but not in this system
the young guys are ready to step in and get more ice time
i am really hoping cooke and dupris resign
kunitz is a good deal and friendly cap wise

Nice job Bruins.
A 77-year-old Boston Bruins fan has revealed that the team gave her tickets for life when she said she couldn't afford them anymore.
According to The Boston Globe, Marge Bishop of Gloucester, Mass., has had front-row seats for the Bruins since the late 1960s. Bishop, who worked in customer service for Tupperware for years, and her husband, who works in construction, decided they couldn't afford their tickets when prices of their seats went from $73 to $90 in 2004.
Because Bishop was known around the rink -- Zamboni drivers knew her by name because she gave them chocolates between periods -- the Bruins asked whether she would be willing to move to cheaper seats, but she declined.
Then she received a call from the son of owner Jeremy Jacobs, Charlie Jacobs.
According to The Globe, he invited her to a Jimmy Fund event at Fenway Park, then asked her to join the season-ticket advisory board. Even though the renewal window had closed, he also made sure her tickets weren't released to the public. So the Bishops stuck with them.
When the 2006-07 season came around and the tickets went from $90 to $150, however, that was it. Bishop said they were done. Again Jacobs stepped in, inviting her to a behind-the-scenes tour of TD Garden. He showed her his plastic card that allowed him access to all games and areas of the arena.
"He could go to any game he wanted at any time," Bishop said, according to the Globe. "At first I didn't know why he was showing me it."
Then Jacobs gave her her own card.
"It was the most unbelievable gesture," Bishop said, according to the newspaper. "People just don't do things like that."
She kept the gesture to herself for years but finally decided she wanted the world to know about Jacobs' generosity.
"I'm just a regular person," Bishop said, according to The Globe. "And I've been given this remarkable once-in-a-lifetime gift. It's incredible. It's the most remarkable story."
