"The Carolina Hurricanes didn't plan to put Aaron Ward on re-entry waivers, hoping a team would pick up his full salary. But now it appears they will, which means the Canes and the claiming team would each be responsible for half his salary. His cap his is $2.5 million this season, half of that is $1.25 million and since half the season is over, the number comes out to about $700,000.
The Boston Globe writes that it's an "enticing" number and that the Bruins might be tempted to jump at it.
"Boston's mounting injuries on the backline, especially with Mark Stuart sidelined with a fractured sternum, could have GM Peter Chiarelli interested, especially at Ward's Building 19 discount price," the Globe writes, adding that Detroit, San Jose and Chicago might also be looking Ward's way (ESPN)."
With all the injuries the Bruins have had to their defense you would think they would have to be looking at this. Ward was very good for the Bruins, and though he is having a terrible season I think that has a lot more to do with Carolina being terrible then it does with him falling off. Ward and Chara were very good together, so I think he could fit right back in to the Bruins defensive plans quickly, and the price looks to be right...
