Bruins get Tomas Kaberle in a trade with Leafs.

Before you start laughing with this statement; so I am busy for a couple of hours this afternoon and then I come back to computer to find out that the Boston Bruins have made some major moves. There’s a couple of big trades for the Boston Bruins this afternoon. First the Tomas Kaberle was traded to the Leafs for Joe Colborne and two draft picks. This trade wasn’t that big of a shocker because it was being talked about most of the week. The Boston Bruins get their high end defenseman they have wanted and needed for some time now, the Bruins give up former DU Pioneer Joe Colborne who I think is a more talented version of Blake Wheeler big soft forward that’s not very physical, the Bruins also give up “their own” 2011 first-round draft pick, and a conditional 2012 second-round draft pick.

The Bruins also traded former Golden Gopher Blake Wheeler and former C.C. Tiger Mark Stuart to the Atlanta Thrasher for Boris Valabik and Rich Peverley. Rich Peverley has 14 goals and 20 assists in 59 games and will add some offensive talent to the Bruins attack.

As a Bruins fans I am very happy because that the Boston Bruins get rid of two big soft forwards... They also got a big time puck mover on the back end that they needed desperately. I am sadden by the Trade of Mark Stuart, he wais one of my favorite Bruins defenseman because he was tough and has a lot of grit and wasn’t afraid to drop the gloves.
