Well it appears that the Bruins plan to take the wait and see approach to the upcoming trade deadline. Less the blockbuster trades of Milan Jurcina and Kris Versteeg, Peter Chairelli has decided to sit an wait for the market to play out.
Reading between the lines, this says, No one is interested in paying the asking price that has been offered for the rental of Stuart or Sturm.
Unless a deal can be made with LA or San Jose, we will likely see Stuart traded away for a draft pick or two, seeing as Stuart has all but said he will play no where but the West Coast, what team in their right mind would trade for him, knowing he was going to exit come July 1st.
Sturm, on the other hand simply is not producing the numbers that he did last season, and teams are not going to give up much for his services.
The one thing the Bruins have going for them is the fact that there are not to many teams out there dangling players of either Stuart or Sturms caliber. Both have shown bits of brillance in the last two seasons, but both have also shown that they have a lot of growning to do, particularly Stuart who someday will be a dominant presence on some teams Blue line (Unforetunately not ours).
We have all been preparing for this moment since the wheels fell of our roller coaster back in December, and the time is near... less than three weeks until the deadline hits.

Yeah Savard said it best the other day on the radio re; the trade rumors etc (not about himself mind you). That what team would trade for ANY of us right now..we are B-A-D.
As a side note I was looking at a 2003-2004 Bruins magazine I had (a yearbook)only Bergeron, Murray and PJ Axellson are still on the team.in under 4 years everyone else is gone.
