as i said in the comments in the post below, I’m really glad the Bruins got this deal done. 1 mil is a great bargain for a player of his caliber. He played awesome for us last year and I think he’s a great fit.

It’s too bad this makes us that much further from signing Kessel, but I’m happy either way.

1 million still leaves us with 4-5 million in cap space. Recchi was awesome for the Bruins for however many games, this is totally worth it.

Now he just needs to grow the rest out and he’s in Iafrate territory.

Truly, the greatest tragedy of Chara setting the new record is not getting that clip on TV every year.

Good to have the Recchi ball back. team is rounding out well so far. Hunwick and Kessel still loom, or their replacements.

This makes me very happy now Sign Phil Kessel.

great deal

1 million for 1 year is money well spent on a guy like him. Glad he didn’t wind up just being a “playoff rental.”

Pitt fans may have varied opinions on the guy, especially given the fact that he played for them on three separate occasions, but no one will ever say one bad thing about his leadership. For $1 mill you guys get a lot from a guy like Recchi.
