BOS declines.
Ruhwedel is not getting a 5th.
They are not trading a 2nd for MAF
If they wanted Zucker back they would have resigned him.

Flower is about washed, man. He's a fat rebound factory these days.

I'm calling the rebounds fat, not Fleury. Just to clarify.

Bs aren't swapping making that swap unless Pens are retaining or adding a pick. They could sign Jake for in and around (maybe a bit more) what Rakell is making and Jake is 3 years younger.
