You watch...all 7 of our NHL clubs will be whittled down to Zero by 2031. No point of Canada's clubs trying to win a Cup, cause they've been cut off.
And that is harmful to the league, in terms of competitive balance. Period. D-8<

LOL what a dumbass

We're going to have some money to spend, more if Savard retires. I'd like to see the Bruins get another goal scorer and a defencemen. Word on the street is they're not going to sign Kaberle or Ryder unless they take pay cuts and might just replace them with Caron & Kampfer and not spend on the fa market. Going into next season we're looking at:
Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Marchand - Bergeron - Peverley
Caron - Kelly/Seguin - Kelly/Seguin
Paille - Campbell - Thornton
Chara - Seidenberg
Boychuck - Ference
McQuaid - Kampfer
Thomas
Rask
I'm pretty content with the forwards. A lot of youth & speed there and if Seguin continues his development the B's could have a handful of 20 goal scorers on the team. Before I typed this out I was confident in the defense but now that I'm looking at it in front of me, I'm a little worried that it could be the Achilles heel of 2011-2012. I can see Claude splitting up Chara/Seidenberg against deeper teams but those bottom two pairings aren't spectacular. Goaltending is all set obviously.
