  • ... while he and Jordan Caron have a lot in common, as each gets a fresh start with a new team. [CausewayCrowd]

  • Sighs of relief in the dressing room were perhaps the only sound as the trade deadline passed. [PatriotLedger]

  • The biggest sigh would have been from Ryan Spooner , who missed shuffling off to Buffalo bythismuch. [WEEI]

  • And aren't we all thankful to see Spooner still in a Bruins' uniform? He has been great in this call-up, and his timing couldn't be better. [BruinsDaily]

  • Here's more in-depth analysis of the deadline decisionmaking and an explanation of how Craig Cunningham came to be exposed (and lost) on waivers. [HockeyBuzz]
