Can't wait to see the AAV on this one. Guy has averaged fewer than 5 goals per 82 games over an 11 year career and yet somehow is thought to be a key component to the Bruins by playing (badly) for 8 minutes a night.

Bruins are better off without him.

EDIT: I thought he'd get more given all the hype but he's only being overpaid by about $400,000 (aka 1/3 the value of his contract) so it isn't a disaster. Still they'd be better off if he wasn't even on the ice.
