Good signing for them, especially given the term. Replacement for Eriksson?

He'll look good in a Bruin uniform. 1 year deal is very interesting. Wow.

Stupid of Backes IMO - get your term and money now.

Mckenzie says he was wrong on 1 year deal though

1 year deal would have been nice for the Flames.

hm... this is one interesting deal.

Probably good for Boston, as I assume they see their (already small) window of competitiveness closing. They need at least one good defenceman, however.

Maybe backes wants to be a blue next year. Didnt they say Hitchcock was signed for 1 year only. Maybe they dont see eye to eye.

This one might be a way to get around expansion protection. One year deal, no protection needed and if all goes well signs a bigger deal after.
