Stuie resigns!!!!!!!!


The B's have pulled of what looked like the unlikely, they resigned Stuie, 1 year deal for 1.675 million.

Now I'm sure Stuie wanted to re-up long term, and I'm sure the Bruins wanted to re-up him for a long time. Stuart is worth more than 1.7 million. What probably happened, is that the Bruins wanted to sign him long term, but didn't have the cap room this year to give him the money he deserved. So he will probably sign a longer extension, maybe even within the next couple of days. The B's are less cap strapped next year, especially if Chara takes a pay cut, like he is expected to, Bergey doesn't wind up taking up all of the cap room that Chara's deal leaves, and Ryder is gone, that will open things up a bit, and Stuart will get the money he actually deserves. Since this is a one year deal, Stuart is eligible to sign an extension at any time, and this could have just been a genius way for PC to get around a bit of a cap crunch this year. Could be a pretty genius move...
