The Stanley Cup of Chowder blog is reporting and the Boston Herald is reporting it too, that Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson has signed a 4-year contract with Frolunda of the Swedish Elite League. I want to wish Axelsson the best of luck there as he gave it all for the Bruins during his 11 years here as one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL. Axelsson played a total of 797 regular season games, scoring 103 goals and having 287 total points. In 54 playoff games he scored 4 goals and had 7 points. He won't be forgotten and he will be missed.

Yeah I agree with you, I don't know what's up with Kessel. It seems they are far apart on the money side of a contract. Who knows what will happen to him now with the salary cap and all. The Morris signing was surprising to me too, as it came with a high price. Well seems they were thinking that Morris is an upgrade over Ward, which I agree with, as Morris is younger and has more offensive skills than Ward, but we'll see if he brings the leadership that Ward brought.
