Probably massively overpaid

 

[mygameworn]

One year?

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Why? Are they trading Krejci?

 

[CaptainMalkin]

Wow, didn't want to see him in the East.

 

[Pointteen]

I didn't expect this. Great move.

 

[0V3CHKiN]

EDIT: McKenzie retracted one year deal.

 

[BostonBruins11]

whaat?

 

[Quares27]

Could end up being the worst contract of them all

 

[JJTT]

One year? Thought he was getting something like 6x6

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Congrats on getting the biggest goon in the league Boston!

 

[Liminality]

Think that's a good pickup

 

[Mr Pipe]

Good signing. Wish he would have gone to DET for 1 year

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Apparently nobody remembers how signing a one year deal worked out for Erhoff.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Probably massively overpaid

Its one year, who cares???

 

[LT]

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Mckenzie incorrectly tweeted it was a one year deal. Just said it on TSN.

 

[BC Ben]

Gonna love Backes in Boston... solid solid player!

 

[Wolfpuck]

1 year? Edit: Maybe not...

That's a good one for the Bruins

 

[Bieber fever]

Term to long

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Bob says scratch that

 

[Pyromaniac]

Why would he take one year? This makes no sense.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Fantastic!
