Come on. The Bruins dragging their feet? Never! So much for them saying they have lots of free cash to make a splurge in the free agent market. Maybe more like a trickle.

Even with the JR trade, the signings make Philly look strong this year.

Aside from how awful you guys think the B's are going to be, do you think the parity between teams is better?
Different sport, but the Pats don't have huge stars, but a TEAM of solid players, why couldn't it work in hockey?

While I will agree with you that the Pats have a solid team, front to back, they have somewhat quietly added stars...I would consider Brady, Seymour, Dillon, Vinatieri....and now maybe Branch and Harrison stars...maybe not in the eyes of all...but to true football fans, they have to be considered that...and don't take this as a Pats fan gloating...because I'm a Packers fan. I think they ( the Bruins ) could do it with solid players...I just don't think they have picked up any of those either...Leetch is a good defenseman...but he is old and his numbers have dropped considerably over the last few years..now this kid Zhamnov could help, but we will have to see...I'm not ready to give up yet, I just wish they would have gotton a big star.
And yes I'm all for parity...I also like the new scheduling...should be good for rivalries. |

You don't think Brady, Dillon, Seymour, Harrison, Law and Vinatieri are huge stars? They're all considered among the best at their positions.
In hockey the only way a team with no stars makes it anywhere in the playoffs is if they have a phenomenal goalie.

I think all the pats are all stars, but when you look at individual stats they are not superstar #'s . At least fantasy 's #'s (Corey dillion is the exeption, ranked #9 overall)
