Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
By no means do I love Iginla, but by all accounts he's a better fit with Boston than Pittsburgh. I also like the fact he's younger than Jagr and Alfredsson. Eriksson is also a very good all around forward and only 27. Trading Seguin might hurt somewhere down the line but I really do think the Bruins will be better next year with Iginla and Eriksson than if they kept Seguin. To me, the Bruins still look like a team that can compete for the Cup next year. This is more aggressive than we're used to seeing from Chiarelli, perhaps realizing the small window remaining with Chara.
