Hunwick Re-Ups, Kessel Not yet
  • The Boston Bruins locked up one restricted free agent today. Matt Huntwick signed a 2 year contract extension. Hunwick showed promise this past season recording 27 points (6 goals and 21 assists) in 53 games. He probably would have had more points had I not picked him up for my fantasy team.
  • The Bruins are having trouble coming to terms with Phil Kessel, they are talking but not really getting anywhere. Kessel was originally offered something along the lines of a David Krejci deal (3 years, $11.25 million), but he’s apparently looking for a lot more. I think I remember reading over a month ago that the 21 year old was looking for over $5 million, that’s way too much for kid that young. Sure he potted 36 goals last season, but there’s not many players who’ve only been in the NHL for a couple years that deserve more than $5 million, and Kessel isn’t one of them. Nothing new to report on Kessel heading to the Leafs for Thomas Kaberle
