Maybe a wooden nickel. <BR/><BR/>But, in all fairness, you have a point - no one can say what would or would not have happened if Joe had been here and re-signed. Lots of moving pieces and it would be a safe bet that Savard, Chara, or possibly both would not be on the team.

That means no Marc Savard. Bruins also have more money tied up in contracts so it likely means there are no funds to bring in Zdeno Chara.<BR/><BR/>So which would you prefer? Thornton and some other pieces around him? Or Chara, Savard, Kobasew (20+ last year), Sturm (20+ every year) and Ference (3rd D)? Personally, I will take the latter...The Bastahdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480718847594872835noreply@blogger.com
