The fact that Bruins fans on twitter are jumping for joy about the rumoured deal makes me concerned that the return isn't great.
The Russian seems like he could be a keeper, the 1st rounder is nice..but its not quite enough for a guy like Jarome.
For all we know, Iggy would only allow a trade to Boston all along - the other 3 teams may have just been used to play with. If this was the best we could get from Boston...then I can understand. But I find it hard to believe a better deal wasn't out there from LA, CHI etc.
It'll be interesting once this is official to hear the backstory.
