Bruins Looking To Sign Bill Guerin

Reports released this week say that the Bruins are trying to sign Bill Guerin. I originally didn't report this story, because I didn't understand how they could do it. Yet, after reading some other rumors it might make sense.

Now that the Kings have most likely lost out of Ilya Kovalchuk rumor is they are going out and looking for another forward. That forward could be Marc Savard. We all know the Bruins have been shopping him, and it would make sense if this is the place. The Bruins need to clear space with Wheeler in arbitration (most likely will get 2.5 million), and they still need to sign Tyler Seguin. If the Bruins were able to move Savard it could make it possible for them to sign both these guys, and Bill Guerin, who could be a nice fit for the Bruins on the wing.

Even Cooke's Teammate Thinks He Should Be Suspended

How can you not love Billy Guerin, a.k.a. the Pride of Wilbraham?

"If a guy gets hurt like that with a shot to the head, there's got to be something. Actions happen. Guys don't mean to hurt each other, but they do. You got to pay a price for that... We're all under the same umbrella, whether the guy's on my team and I'm sitting right next to him or he's playing in California. It doesn't matter. We're all playing in the same league. We all want the same safety. We all want to be looked after the same way. I understand he [Cooke] is on my team but, hey, he's in a tough spot."

So what does this say about the inaction by both the Bruins and the NHL? You've got Matt Cooke's teammate of 2 years, who he won a Stanley Cup with, telling the media that he thinks Cooke deserved some sort of discipline.

Unfortunately, Guerin's remarks are about ten times stronger than Claude Julien's in the aftermath of all this. Maybe Guerin should be in the suit behind the Bruins' bench.
