Stupid giving away assets for free. Caron should have been the one waived/Demoted.
CC had no futur with th Bruins. Even as a 4th liner.
Should still have been traded for a 7th rounder instead of losing him for free. But maybe Chiarelli offered him to everyone and nobody wanted to give anything?

Not sure who said it but I did laugh out loud when someone on here said Cunningham should win the 6th player award. I admit there is really no obvious choice for that award this year
Yeah, someone over 30 getting paid $2m
After hearing Chia's reasoning for waiving Cunningham you start to understand some of the problems this management team has.
Fact is, Cunningham was an NHL caliber player. Maybe a 4th line/13th forward player, but an NHL caliber player all the same. He was versatile, and on a cheap contract with next year contract probably in the same price range. He brought a 100% effort every game.
And Chia lost him for nothing. Just to clear some cap room.
If Chia wanted to clear cap room, waive Campbell or Paille. There both gone this summer anyways. They make more money now. They have been supplanted IMO by Spooner and Ferlin. Keep your younger cheaper assets and if cap space is required rid yourself of aging pricier vets if they are comparable players. Keep your young cost controlled players.

Cap room for what exactly? He didn't use it. This was a clear choice in his aging vets over a young kid showing promise. One of those aging vets is almost literally the worst player in the NHL today in Campbell.
You do realize teams lose 12th and 13th forwards for nothing all the time right?
I can't believe the calamity this is bringing. Somebody tell me one thing Cunningham did well. He was a non factor. As a matter of fact, I'd say Jordan Caron has looked better than him since being reinserted into the lineup.
Losing him isn't something to cause an uproar about. He is a dime a dozen.
I do and your right, it's not Cunningham the player, I just don't understand keeping aging grizzled veterans who cost more $$$ over a younger cheaper player when the vets are UFA after this season and the younger player can do they job they do just as good if not better.
