When you say "of an NHL team", are you saying that some other team knew about the terms?

I am going to barf, first time I have disagreed with a Chiarelli move. Horrible

I love this blog and all the passive aggressive comments. It's amazing how brave folks are sitting in front of a monitor at their desk job, armed only with a mouse and keyboard.

Congrats Tim! For every naysayer I support you 10 fold.

Congrats Timmy, now that, that is out of the way lets bring home that big silver thing.

I'm referring to the Stanley Cup for those pink hat fans who have no idea what I am talking about.

On a side note, I can't wait for the playoffs, there is no other sport that can beat it, the crowds are electric and its great to be apart of, gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

This means Tuuka Rask will never play for Boston, and will have to be traded for a cheaper back-up ( 1 Million range). Also means that at least 1 of; Bergeron, Kreiji, or Kessel will be moved. Look for a big deal on draft day !
