Call me CRAZY!

So the Bruins have all but stated that they are done in the free agent market, despite the rumors that they are perusing Brendan Shannahan. I quote you from good old acting GM "management's emphasis will now switch to the likes of Bergeron and Brad Boyes, the team's prime restricted free agents." To me that says we are done with the paying for the hired guns and we are going to take the twelve guys we have on the roster now and fill the gaps with Jerry's Kids. Well that is all fine and dandy until the new kids on the block don't strap the remaining eighteen guys on their back and skate us to a cup. This has all the makings for the same disaster we had last season. Joe and Sammy (even though my father in law says Sammy was not ever playing to what he was projected to, mind you my father in law is in my opinion one of the greatest hockey minds in New England, but I disagree.) Sammy got the shaft, played with a different group of guys each night and battled injuries, got the short end of the stick most of the time. If you step back and look at some hightlights of our man Sammy you will see one of the most incredible skaters and puck handlers in the game. Our two superstars which at one time where called the future of the Bruins where shipped out when the remaining cast failed to even be qualified for AHL competition not to mention NHL caliber play. So where am I going with this, well recently our beloved management team has stated that Zedno Chara was "a unique property, a huge and effective minutes eater whose size and strength lead to an intimidation factor beyond any backliner in the game. A potential team captain, he could be the franchise cornerstone we have lacked since Ray Bourque." Well I'll be, sounds a lot like Zedno is the new face of the Bruins and I would be willing to bet he dons the cover of this year media guide as well as the Bruins year book. (much like Joe and Sammy did for the past few years.) Call me CRAZY but after a year or two at 7.5 million a year you will see Zedno getting slapped in the face by this same management team when they ship him out of town for two or three players who make less than he does combined and the excuse will be that he did not perform as they had expected. Of course this story will have a happy ending much like this year and Chara will win the league MVP......

Still holding my breath hoping to see Sammy come back to beantown as a free agent.... He remains unsigned and we could get him at a discount, or for at least what they are offering Shanahan, and we would not have to worry about Sammy getting his social security check while still on our roster.....
