Bruins talking to Blue Jackets?
With goalie Manny Fernandez (knee surgery) lost for the season, and the return date for Patrice Bergeron (Grade 3 concussion) still in question, the Bruins are looking to make a deal or two, perhaps among their forward and defensive corps. One longtime scout, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said last night at the Garden he believed the Bruins were in talks with Columbus, which will be in town tomorrow night. The Blue Jackets, who look capable of landing the franchise's first playoff berth, were rumored in the offseason to be trying to move talented Russian winger Nikolai Zherdev, who has a history of being somewhat of a lone ranger on the ice.

Hey I didn't have any time to check in today Sox Babe. I just hope he isn't like Afinogenov from the Sabres with the "lone ranger" mentality. Nothing like a good old rent-a-player!

Zherdev??? really?? Sounds like another Stan Chistov to me. Well if they can get him for cheap I won't complain, but for some reason I don't think the Jackets are ready to let him go for cheap yet.

Bruins will now have salary cap money to spend by putting Fernandez on IR as he was due to make 4.3 milion this year. They wil get some cap money because of Bergeron also being on IR but they will be a little more careful here not to spend all of his cap dollars as there is still the chance he may be back this year. Zherdez has put up decent numbers this year 24pts in 30 games (12 goals). Bruins can use another goal scorer on the team. I would also like to see the Bruins check and see if Danny Markov is available. I know that he signed to play over seas but I believe he has an out in his contract if signed to a NHL contract. The Bruins did show an interest early in the year but were up against a tight salary cap, this isn't the problem anymore. He would step in right away and be one of the top defenceman on the team.

RSB,
Other than this thread, you'd be surprised at how much support the B's are getting in the hocky community in Boston...I talked to Bob Beers (his kid in our town program) and he said that form his perspective, that the type of hockey Clause Julien has brought to the B's (although hated by some fans) has truned this thing around. Very similar to the Devil's style of taking away the mid ice from the faster amd more skilled teams...hey it's working and the fans are BACK!!!!
It's tough to get more support because the C's and Pats are so dominant right now....

Because if you're a B's fan, you are recovering from the Sinden.O'Connell horror show backed up by the Dave Lewis clown show....they has a coach by the name of Mike Sullivan, but the Sinden.O'Connell show needed a fall guy....
At leaset we're winnning now , and there's SOME hope....any trades to pick up the offense will get noticed...
