Bruins Off-Season
Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2011 12:10 am
Still on a high that Boston won the cup, it's time to re-tool for next season.
We have two key UFA's that will be out there on the market
-Tomas Kaberle
-Michael Ryder
If we can only keep one, I'd rather keep Kaberle. He was solid, not good, not great, not bad, but solid for us since we got him at the trading deadline. I think with a full off-season and training camp under his belt, he could come back and have a great year like he's capable of doing. But he will for sure test the market.
As for Ryder, I wouldn't mind keeping him either. He was great in the playoffs, really showed up and helped us win the cup. He too could be looking for a bigger contract though. With the cap floor being in place, I could see some bottom feeder team who needs to reach it offering a guy like Ryder a nice chunk of change which he would take and run.
We have one key retirement
-Mark Recchi
It's gonna be tough to replace what Recchi has done for this team the past couple seasons.
We have one key RFA
-Brad Marchand
We really need to get this guy locked up long term.
UFA's we could target
-Christian Ehrhoff
-James Wisniewski
-Ville Leino
-Ed Jovanovski
-Bryan McCabe
So who do you want the B's to get or re-sign?
