Expect this from a Bruins perspective...
Maybe something in the trade market is done.
Pehaps.
I just can't see Chia doing totally nothing, that would be too negligent considering the cap situation.
Hell if he has to, saddle a first round pick and beg someone to take Kelly off your hands, like Florida. Lord knows they have the room.
I would suspect Chia will sit back and wait to see whose left on the scrap heap. Like an episode of American Pickers

He does, I can't see him accepting a trade to a non-contenders.
Some Iginla news.

Thought so. The idea that he'll accept a trade to a non contender has to stop. It won't happen. But a contender might see him as a valuable player in a cup run. Let's hope!
Wild have to be careful this off season because they have 6 RFA's next season and they are key guys for them:
Charlie Coyle
Mikael Granlund
Erik Haula
Marco Scandella
Christian Folin
Jonas Brodin
Read an interesting point in the Globe about Kelly's incentive for a trade-- he's clearly been supplanted on the 3rd line at center (Soderberg), with another kid breathing down his neck (Spooner). Moving, even to a non-contender, gives him a chance to re-establish himself at center. Not sure how much I buy that.
Anyone have any ideas what teams might be on his "OK" list?

Avs would be a great place for him to land. Veteran presence on a young team. Much like recchi was to our young team.
Chia's a great GM, but him giving out a lot of money & years to players who don't deserve it, screwed us. I know we all got attached to the 11' cup crew, but we should of reloaded then, and now we can't.
These contracts are killing us. And I don't see any indication we will be players today. I'm scared

Not really a surprising destination for him, it will be interesting to see the return Ottawa got.

A 1-2 punch of Seguin and Spezza will be pretty damn good this season. They should build off their success last year and push for a potential deeper run next year.

Trade not official yet but Senators have agreed to deal Jason Spezza to Dallas. More to come.

DAL trades Alec Chiasson, Alex Guptill, Nicholas Paul and 2nd round pick in 2015 to OTT for Jason Spezza and Ludvig Karlsson. #TSN

If it is someone like Crosby [much as I despise him] you open the vault. Someone like Dion Phaneuf you don't.
I should have been more clear- nothing has ever stopped a GM from throwing huge money at the wrong player thinking he was the right one.

I really miss TSN, this coverage on Sportsnet's has been just promoting the new Rogers TV package.
