| So it seems the Bruins have traded Petr Kalus (one of their top forward prospects) and a 4th round pick for Manny Fernandez. At $4.33m a year. Yeah. So they just sucked up a good size chunk of cap space for a goalie that I don't really think is an upgrade over Thomas, who costs about a quarter what Manny costs. Manny's got a better GAA but only a marginally better save %, the GAA difference can be attributed to the fact that he faced an average of 5 fewer shots per game playing behind a better D in Minne than he'll have in Boston. Of all the goalies who are/were known to be "on the market" this summer, the Bruins have gone for one who is definitely in the lower half. Better than Belfour, but really, how much is that saying? There are rumors that the Sens might lose Emery, so I suppose it could have been worse. But there was a lot of buzz around Kalus last season, I hope they don't ended up discovering they gave up too much. So now either Hannu or Timmy is going to be gone. The Boston Herald seems to think it would be Timmy, but the team has been shopping Hannu for weeks now, there are rumors out of Edmonton that he might be heading there in a package deal with Glen Murray (which would also be dumb). he Blues have been suggested as another possible destination. Huh. Well, GM Chiarelli has fired virtually everyone in the past three weeks, so it's all on him now. If the team he puts together sucks, he ought to be out the door...
