Nooooooooooooooooooooo I just don't like this guy, great now I have Rask and him to hate next season

Boston, MA - Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today, July 5, that the club has signed forward Jarome Iginla to a one year contract through the 2013-14 season. Iginla’s base salary is worth $1,800,000 and carries incentives of $4,200,000, for an annual cap figure of $6,000,000.

Was curious what the reaction of the reasonable Bruins fans would be to signing Iginla....unfortunately, I only have heard Adam's so far.

Khabibulin signs back with the Hawks as their back up.

Matt Cooke to Minnesota....

Valtteri Filppula to Tampa.

Michael Ryder to the Devils.

[Bruins Fan]

Iginla..you got to be kidding methe guy showed nothing in the playoffs.

I guess it pays to be a broken down circus dog just no free agent talent this year?

Can't believe the Wild signed Cooke. Everybody hates that guy with a passion in this state. Guess they saw him score more last year. He won't be on a talented line like Pittsburgh had him on here though.

Glad to hear you feel that way, Pete, I think the guy is a POS as well.

From all accounts, apparently after his last big suspension, he has turned his game around from being a cheap shot monster to being a clean player, and it did show last year.

But I can't get past when 7 or 8 years ago, he cheap shotted Gaborik, then when our goon Matt Johnson went after him, Cooke slashed him across the ankle and played chicken the rest of the game. Just don't think I'll be able to stomach the guy.

At least Clutterbuck was a pretty clean checker.

Yup, no real issues here with Cal.

I don't care how much Cooke cleans up his act, he ended Marc Savard's career and almost Erik Karlsson's. He should be out of the game himself, along with Raffi Torres. Torres cleaned up his game last season and was effective, but he should never have been allowed back in.

I agree. Now not only are we going to not score goals next season because we got rid of Setoguchi (damn near our best goal scorer last season) but I'm going to have to hear everybody complain about Matt Cooke all season.

This and not even just ended his career really ****ed up his life.

Then you have Cindy defending him while she's out with a concussion and *****ing about head shots in the league, f_ck that POS too.

[Ahbroody]

Well I guess trying to sever a guys achilles with your skate blade isnt that dirty. Guy is a POS

[Partagaspete]

As an Isles fan I must say at first I was not to enthused about the Nino/Clutterbuck trade but after it settled inI am okay with it.

Hamonic 7 yrs' two UFA years tied up...F yes!!!! Second best player we have. and now for many, many more years. he had some great tweets post signing. Class act.


My only concern is still in net WTF we could not package our 15th and Nino for Corey.

well In Garth I trust. Many months before puck drop.

Can I Haz Hiller pleeez????

You will like Clutterbuck. He hits everything in sight and he has a very underrated wrist shot.

[icehog3]

Agree with all of you who say Cooke is a POS. I think I might have even said it earlier.

Tony, I like Hamonic a lot, smart move locking him up.

Is it October yet?

Cooke is a player I would hate on my own team. like Phanueff (sp) or Briere.

I think clutterbuck could add some class to his game but not overly dirty. I'll take his gritz...

As far as Nino. we mismanaged him early on. but he also turned into a whinny demanding crybaby too. so this may be a good move for him to start over. He definitely has the skills but now he needs to get his head straight. if so. than Minny can easily come out on top with this trade. future will tell but I think the move had to happen for his sake as well as the Isles. Best whishes to him.

Also, I just found out that our D prospects that are expected to make the NHL will make Hammer our SMALLEST Defender.

And unfortunately no, no it is not Oct yet.

Finally, Milbury sucks!!!!

Breaking News, Bruins waste $56,000,000 on Rask.

8 yr deal worth cap value of 7,000,000 a year for the guy that gives up 2 goals in the last 17 seconds of a game to knock the bruins out of the finals.

WTF is this pay back for laughing at the Canucks for being stuck with Lou's noose around their neck's contract? thanks for nothing Chiarelli

You jest?
Rask is the reason the Bruins went so deep.
There are a lot of slices in the blame pie to go around.
Great to see the Bruins cleaning house,and the latest rumor is Marchand and Kelly are being shopped around?
Brad was a no show against the Hawks, and Kelly is a waste of roster space.

Yes but that much $$$ and term could be an issue. As an Isles fan I present to you the storied tales of Rick Dipietro...

[AdamJoshua]

You think Rask is worth 7 MILLION a year for the next 8 years? No jest here, I think it's a huge waste of money and we are now going to be stuck with this guy come hell or high water, we are now in the same boat as the canucks. I guess this doesn't bode well for Subban.

[Bruins Fan]

That's what the going rate is..next season when the cap goes up you will see a lot of big contracts?

Subban is two or three years away if he is still in the organization?
