Wow, that's really a terrific deal for the Bruins.
Ference got 3.25 per year, and I know it was on the open market and the Oilers had a need, but I think Seids is a decent amount better than Ference, and I love Ference.
I'm not sure what the cap looks like next year, but Boychuk will be on the last year of a deal that pays him 3.36 AAV. I wonder if he will need to be moved in the off-season to make cap room and to make room on the roster for the younger defenseman.
Good deal...interesting to see how they view this d-core moving forward.
