Someone convinced the Avs owners that it would be a good marketing move to sign Ray Bourque's two sons?

To be fair, he apparently had a very good preseason. And even mentioned this was a possibility because of that good preseason.

Must have a hell of an agent. He's been junk for four seasons now.

I am shocked that Rene Bourque outlasted Curtis Glencross.
