MDR - fantastic news about Mark Stuart.  The Johnny Boychuck trade is, hopefully, good news as well.  The player they traded, Matt Hendricks, was one of the fan favorites on the Providence Bruins (had flex season tickets).  One of my favorites on the P-Bruins is Wacey Rabbit.  Gotta love a name like that and wonder what his parents were smoking when they named him.  

I love hockey.  Nothing like playoff hockey, in my humble opinion!  Patriots are my first love but the Bruins are my second.

As for Malkin, I agree with Huxley that he really stepped it up when Sydney Crosby got injured and probably was just plain worn out.  The opposite for Hossa.  He barely made a peep in the regular season but excelled in the playoffs and finals.  

Who do we need more?  Evgeni Malkin or Marian Hossa?

Does anyone know anything about the Bruins pick Joe Colburne? I`ve heard he`s pretty good, but have`nt read much into it.

I hope if it comes down to hossa or cambell chiarelli goes for cambell

With the addition of cambell you help the offense and defense and don't forget bergeron is back so the b's automatically get a top six forward and you can still trade some of the new aquired draft picks plus some current b's players for some extra scoring help

I think this will help to set the Bruins up for success now and in the years to come

But if they pick up hossa I won't be anywhere close to upset

Anyone else hear the rumor that Vancouver is trying to get Auld?  That would NOT be good IMHO - I think we got a good thing going with Thomas & Auld.  Maybe we should just GIVE them Fernandez, they could in turn send us a case of Zamboni oil or a sack of pucks...

I'd like to see the B's grab Brian Malone over Hossa. The kid got heart and sacrifices his body for the game. Murray is killing the B's because he doesn't play with reckless abandon and they buyout doesn't work, they still gotta pay him, so get used of it. Murray will be in a B's uniform in 2009.

Dawnie, Boychuk better be good.  I didn't know that about Matt Hendricks, so sorry to see him go.

Wacey Rabbit is an all-time great name.  His parents were probably to wasted to realize.  If there last name was Wabbit you know they would have gone with Scewey.  LOL

With ya on Playoff Hockey.  No Sport can touch it, especially those sudden death multi OT games.  Gotta Love a Pat's and Bruins Gal......

I'd take Malkin.  He's got awesome talent, size and he's young.  He's just going to be great.  Hossa is very good though, and still has some very good years left.  He's shown well in the playoffs, and those guys that come up big when it counts are hard to find.  So, I'd take either one.

bruins1984 made a good point though, and if Campbell can be had - I wouldn't turn it down.  He's going to be far more palatable under the cap than the Malkin/Hossa type guys.

huxley, I agree on the Auld take.  I'd keep him and move Fernandez (if possible).  Most of all, I'm glad we've got Rask on the way.  Dawnie can probably attest to the fact that he was great during the Regualr season for the P B's, and into the playoffs.  I think as the playoffs went on he wore down (IMHO).....He's going to be more than all right.  He's the real deal as far as I'm concerned.

madriver, what I've seen on Joe Colborne is that he's a rangy (6'5, 190) Center.  It's already decided he's going to U Denver to play collegiately.  I know the Bruins thought he was top 10, 1st round (he went 16th).  They sweated bullets when Ottawa traded up to 15, and waited out that pick.  But here's more culled from a site:

"Colborne was the first Junior A player taken in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He's a 6-foot-5, 190-pound left-handed shot who had 33 goals and 57 assists this season. Scouts were impressed with Colborne's above-average skating and quick hands. He's an excellent passer and shooter who makes good decisions in the offensive zone.  While Colborne hasn't faced the quality of competition that most of the other first-round selections did, his skills were quite apparent, leading to his ranking as the No. 28 North American skater. The Bruins, obviously, felt that he was better than his ranking.

Given his height, weight and skill set, Bruins fans will likely be reminded of the team's first-round pick 11 years ago, Joe Thornton. But where Thornton spent the season after his draft mostly watching from the press box at the NHL level while he added weight and muscle, Colborne will get a chance to grow along with players closer to his age in NCAA hockey.

"This kid can really fire the puck," said Chiarelli. "He's a good skater … very smart, with offensive acumen. He's a big, strong, focused kid."
