The Boyes for Wideman deal was a great deal for both sides at the time. The Bruins got some very good service from him. He had a bad year. They moved him and picked up Horton. After that move, everyone and their sister was saying how badly the team needed a PMD. Well they opened a hole at defense to fill a need up front, and they moved a guy who'd worn out his welcome with the fans. The guy was no stud in his own end, and he was a turnover machine at the end, but he could skate with the puck and he was a good power play defenseman.
I'm not comparing him to Hamilton, and he's not a "crush", but I liked him as a player. I loved Glen Murray as a player, even when people were trying to run him out of town.
Boston fans are so fickle
Muzz is one of my all time favorite B's. The man played with so much and was one of the best leaders on the team.
