Bruins sign Michael Ryder on first day of free agency season
Bruins Nation — Like all of Bruins Nation, I was hoping the Bruins would sign Marian Hossa or Brian Campbell. Hossa has yet to sign, but trying to sign him seemed futile after rumors said that teams were offering him over 8 million a year long term. Meanwhile, Campbell signed with Chicago for 7.1 million a year for 7 years. So late Tuesday night, Peter Chiarelli announced that the Bruins have signed right wing Michael Ryder. Rumor has it that the deal is for 4 million a year for the next 3 years. If that number is true, the Bruins will have just enough to resign Wideman and they will not need ...

The Bruins signed former Montreal Canadien Michael Ryder to a multi-year deal. The signing reduces the Bruins' salary cap space, making it impossible to sign Hossa. I don't mind that the Bruins got a guy who can score goals (30+ in his first two seasons with Montreal, although he only scored 14 last year), but I'm disappointed that they didn't pull a rabbit out of the hat with Hossa. The ...
