Bruins Keep Making Moves In Off-season

The first move in the month of July is the resigning of Daniel Paille. He was signed to a 2-year contract extension. Paille spent most of the 2009-2010 season with the Bruins, playing only 2 games with the Buffalo Sabres. Of the time he spent here, he has been a significant presence. Hopefully he can continue that.

The B's have also signed three-year veteran, 2 of which were with the Bruins, Jeremy Reich to a 1 year contract. In the two years Reich spent in Boston (2006-2008) he played in 90 games and totaled 2-3=5 with 141 PIM. Hopefully this time around he can make an impact.

Lastly this week, the B's have announced their roster of players expected to play during Development Camp. The Camp is expected to take place July 6-10. Among this list are newly aquired Tyler Seguin, Yuri Alexandrov, and David Warsofsy, among others. Every day of this camp inludes a practice at Ristuccia Center. More new invloving the camp will come during the next week. Until then we'll have to see what other moves Peter Chiarelli decides to make.

In Other Bruins News

Since the season ended for the Bruins a few things have happened already. Two players have been resigned, signed a new player to an entry level contract, and a former-and-yet-classic Bruin got a major promotion. Just so you know, its been a month since our season has ended.

But anyways, unless you've been living under a rock, you have heard that recently Cam Neely was promoted to President of the team. Now who doesn't love this? If you don't you got a problem. No offense. The only thing that most of us would love more than this is if Neely became president of the country. I feel a campaign coming on.

But until that campaign starts, I should tell you that the Bruins have resigned to major players. The first player was Shawn Thornton, who was signed to 2-year contract extension. This will put him with a spoked B on his chest through the 2011-2012 season. The other person with a spoked B that was resigned was Dennis Seidenberg. Now this extension was for 4 years, and will keep him here until the 2013-2014 season.

The last little piece of news is that the Boston Bruins have signed Yuri Alexandrov to an entry-level contract. Now I know most of you probably don't know who he is (cuz neither do I really), so I'll tell you what I found about him. He is a 21-year-old from Cherepovets, Russia, and has been playing for his hometown team, the Cherepovets Severstal, for the past 5 seasons. During his five seasons for Cherepovets, Alexandrov has skated in 206 regular season games and has notched 16-27-43 totals. He has also appeared in 15 postseason contests. He is 6' 1", 185 pounds. He was selected 37th overall by the Bruins in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. That is what I found about Alexandrov. Hopefully we'll see some good of him in the future.

This is all the news that has happened in the past month. I'll be here the next time something big happens. Till then, keep a Hall or Seguin in balck and gold in your dreams.
