You know full well what you did. There's no reason to even bother because you're clearly not interested in reality.

Much like Thomas told the team he was not going to play for them. Really, the decision was Boston's though. Just rewriting history to suit an argument, FFS...

What do you guys think Horton would have done if Chia chose to offer him an extension of 7 years and 37 million dollars (what he got from Columbus) when he was still a bruin?

Thomas was honest to a fault, but he never said he would not play for Boston- he said he was going to take time off from hockey so Chia moved him. He could have kept him on the roster if he wanted.Much like Thomas told the team he was not going to play for them. Really, the decision was Boston's though.

Seeing as he didn't give Boston a chance to even counter the CBJ offer, I'd say nothing...

So because Chiarelli didn't grossly overpay Horton....that equates with "he chose not to sign him"
For crying out loud, for all we know the offer Chiarelli had on the table was 6/30.

A hissy fit?
Hardly. I just thought it was amusingly typical that the midday show would ignore hockey. It's also unsurprising that Arnold would mention the draft, the number of the Bruins pick, and the F.O. restructuring, without going into detail, as top-of-the-hour news. That's what it is - news. Analysis isn't expected, at least not from me.

One mans "grossly overpaid" is another's "market value" chia chose not to offer him his market value and thus to run the risk of him walking away. That was a choice.

Totally what it looked like on Behind the B. That stunned silence looked like a man choosing not to offer his player market value.

Maybe it was regret that he chose not to offer him more earlier. But the choice was made and he knew the risk he was running

Painted himself into a corner with the cap signing role players to market value, wanted the player to give him time to clear it up, player grew tired of waiting?
Sound familiar?

Right, he decided getting Hortons contract done wouldn't be a necessity. That's the whole point, he made choices about which players to prioritize and which ones he'd need to let go- that's life under the cap. He made the right choice with Horton- no way in hell is he worth what it would have cost boston to sign him.

He never even hit 30 goals, injured too much, floated all over the place but you wanted to give him a payday
just cause he could knock in tap ins ...in playoffs doesn't make him a superstar Problem is we haven't had a true RW that actually shoots right .. Horton Ryder Pevs not even close to the talent that's out there ...Segs was our best RW and he was playing out of position

You keep insisting Chiarelli is making choices the past two offseasons. He's been forced. He signed role players (Kelly and Peverley) to "market value" contracts and the cap went down with no rollbacks. They IMMEDIATELY crapped the bed after the lockout. They had to move contracts before they signed anyone. That wasn't a choice, that was a must. He wasn't waiting on Horton to re-sign Kelly and Peverly, he was waiting on Horton to move Kelly and Peverley. And to the shock of no one, it was virtually impossible. But the moral of the story is that he wanted to re-sign Horton all along, he didn't de-prioritize him. Horton just wanted his piece of the pie before it went to someone else, and who can blame him.
In reality, they should have moved or bought out Kelly and Peverley the minute the Finals were over. The fact that we still have Kelly's $3m after another garbage season and a cap penalty from that season is a disaster. Whether you think he's Scotty Bowman on ice or not.
Yes. And you never hear Felger berating the Blackhawks for dumping all of those players after *their* post-Cup cap hangover.

Uncomfortable for Callahan today who is the spokesman for some hair transplant doctor. Caller asked him about his lack of hair about 5 times. Reasonable question.

You have to wonder if Felger was even aware of that. Like the vast majority of Boston radio hosts, he's very provincial.

To be fair, that guy has called 4-5 times that I've heard in last couple of months asking the same thing.
One trick pony.
I heard them mention that but it did make me wonder about Gerry's hairline. He hates dishonesty and deception yet beats the drum for his doctor that appears to have done next to nothing for his hairline.
