Looks like Roenick got a contract after all. Wonder what the Sharks get for this or if Roenick just has some juicy pictures of Wilson. Anyways, I guess he goes back to Montreal's roster with his 3,2m x 2y contract.

Why do I get the feeling that Montreal is not too happy to be getting this player back?

The Bruins are publically outraged, and privately relieved to see this overpaid stump go away.

The Bruins are now officially looking for a defenseman in the 75+ range.
And a starting goaltender. Lets do some business people.
