Kinda slipped under the radar yesterday, this signing is creating a bit of a stir out East, especially in Boston where the reaction has been....interesting to say the least. The Bruins have signed bottom pairing guy Kevan Miller to a 4 year deal with a $2.5m cap hit.

If anyone is on twitter, check out Pete Blackburn's(you might recognise him as one of the GIF creators) reaction to the signing. Needless to say he wasn't pleased. Nor were a lot of Boston fans(check out the tweets in reply to the Miller signing announcement).

For anyone unsure why this has created so much controversy, basically the Bruins have got an incredibly meh and declining defensive core locked up for the next 2 years. Essentially they have their bottom 2 defensive pairings(Chara, Seidenburg, McQuaid, Miller) signed up to the tune of $16.15m. And thats before Torey Krug gets somewhere in the region of $5m as an RFA as well.
Don Sweeney strikes again.
