Bruins re-sign Seguin

The Boston Bruins have re-signed forward Tyler Seguin to a six year, $45 million contract extension.  His expected cap hit is $5.75 million.  Brochu's take:  With Taylor Hall's and Jordan Eberle's contract in mind, the Bruins got a bargain.

The Chicago Blackhawks have signed defenseman Michal Rozsival to a one-year, $2 million contract.

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Jeremy Welsh to a two-year, two-way contract.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Nikita Kucherov to a three-year, entry-level contract.  Kucherov was Tampa's 2nd round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Rangers re-sign Eminger

The New York Rangers have re-signed defenseman Steve Eminger to a one-year, $750,000 contract.  Brochu's take:  A good depth defenseman for that price.

Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven't been around.  Lots of things have happened to my life, and it's taken precedence over this blog.  However, I knew someday I would return.  I don't think I will update it as often as I used to, but I will blog from time to time.  Thanks for reading!
