Former Bruins d-man, David Tanabe has signed a one-year deal with the club that originally drafted him 7 years ago - The Carolina Hurricanes...
Tanabe signed a deal worth $900,00 - he had been awarded $1.275 million in arbitration, which the Bruins rejected leaving him a free agent.
According to TSN; the Stanley Cup Champs are also interested in signing free agent Brad Isbister - Bruins fans will remember Isbister was another "stellar" signing by MOC when he was still GM with the club and what I mean by stellar is definitely sarcastic.
J.P. Dumont has also found a new home after the Sabres chose to walk away after he was awarded a one-year $2.9 million deal in arbitration.
The Predators have signed the right winger to a two-year deal worth $4.5 mill - not too shabby for the winger who was instrumental in the Sabres going to the Eastern Conference Finals last spring.
The Bruins made another move when they signed former Hobey Baker finalist T.J. Trevelyan to a multi-year deal.
Trevelyan played his college career at St. Lawrence University.
Not sure where he fits with the club or if he'll play for the Baby Bs - but not a bad signing if you look at his stats - 78 goals and 76 assists for 154 points and 204 penalty minutes in 150 career college games.
FYI - Brian Leetch and Anson Carter are still looking for clubs to pick them up - I think it would be a major insult if Isbister gets signed before them - JMO...
For now, I am patiently waiting for the puck to drop ... this is the most boring time in hockey - waiting for training camps to open and the new season to start.
I don't think anyone will miss Tanabe, plus there is just no room for him with Chara, Mara, Alberts, Jurcina and the Stuarts.
Trevelyan could be interesting. Like Chris Collins, a little a the small side so it will be interesting to see how those guys adjust this year for the P-Bruins.
Have you been thinking about a Hockey East preview?
I agree about Tanabe.
I have been thinking about doing a Hockey East preview - actually been trying to do some reading on the teams this week - so hopefully I will have it done sometime next week.
Hall Gill just fell down
Trust me - the way Gill plays I don't think anyone would notice if he fell down - I am not disappointed he is gone. Infact I can't wait for the first time he comes to Boston - with all the Boo birds he should feel right at home
