It's the big story.
Drury vs. briere - who will they keep and who will they let go? My prediction is, Drury over briere, and then Briere will go to the absolutely highest bidder.
Toronto needs him, but can't afford him.
Other free agents come the warm winds of summer?
Jersey's Gomez. Blake and Smyth on the Islanders (my bets are, Blake stays if they have to choose). Tkachuk (again).
Of course, the playoffs could change any of this if Briere suddenly becomes the shining Sabre star, or Smyth finds his groove.

Blake's been unhappy with the Islanders, according to reports from ESPN.

Is there any chance the bruins make a splash in the fa market or make some trades cause in my opinion they souverily under acheived this season ,Ive heard glen murray rumors

The Boston thing was disappointing. I was glad they hung onto Sturm after all that furor getting rid of Thornton and then getting rid of those they'd received for Thornton.
I hear Thomas really improved over the year, was a decent goalie for the Bruins.
Murray up for grabs? Big stuff, but I don't know if it's good for Boston.

I always liked Tkachuk...he has some life left...27 goals and a +11 rating...sure he is past NHL middle age...but he could help a team still...

No, I agree - he could give real energy to a team with little of the stuff.

Oh like...I don't know...Columbus maybe?...Do we qualify...

Drury is a great fit for Philly (the system loves North Americans) maybe bring Forsberg back and have a little Avalanche reunion in the East.

[blueandwhite]

that is so not going to happen - but maybe you should give Lindros a call just in case.
an old Nordiques reunion, maybe.

[blazinsabrez61]

i would rather have drury over briere if i had a choice
drury is more of a leader and clutch player
i just wish the sabrez could keep them both
they add so much to this great team

[ThePundit]

These teams have exlusivity until July 1, with their own free agents, right?

[blueandwhite]

Yeah, I think that's right.
