New GM, same old terribly run organization. This team is arse backwards. They don't pay when there's no cap, and they're in the top 5 in revenue, but overpay now, for mediocre talent, when there is a salary cap, and being wise with money matters. This team is mentally retarded. If this article is correct, they're paying $4 million per season for a guy that Montreal scratched in the playoffs. Ryder is a nice talent, but he had 14 goals last year. The money seems to rich for a guy coming off a bad year.

$4 million for gritt.

They definitely overpaid in that deal, too bad they didn't bite the bullet and nab Hossa.

Hossa isn't coming to Boston unfortunately. I like Hossa alot as a player, but he's not worth the $8-9 million he's going to get out there. Maybe if the Bruins didn't whiz money away, and waste $4 million deals on mediocre players like Manny Fernandez, Glenn Murray, Michael Ryder, Sergei Zhamnov, etc. they could sign him. With a cap, teams need to be smarter. Ryder is a nice addition, but is too expensive at $4 million per.

Sure they overpaid...probably by 1 mil/year. Ryder's a good player though. He butted heads with Carboneau, whom I liked as a player but seems like a ******** as a coach. The Bs needed a 25+ goal winger, and they got one.

I think this is a good move. 4 mill/yr isn't so bad when it's only a 3 year deal.

This is addressing the B's biggest need. They couldn't put the puck in the back of the net last year to save their lives and Ryder can net them 30+, especially if he is paired with Savard.

I like his game. He can shoot the puck, is very good on the PP, and he isn't afraid to finish body checks. The only thing I think he isn't goin to bring to the team is defense.

He has done well under Julien on three diff. levels in the past and should do so in Boston.

Didn't they make that same mistake under O'Connell? I think the guy's name was Martin LaPointe.

I agree with you. I thought the signing of Ryder was dumb.

Ryder was misused in Montreal by Carbonneau. This is a good signing for the B's. The big question is 'IF' Ryder can regain his old form this may be a steal. The silly offer out there is what my Canucks have offered Sundin - 20 million over 2 years.

And he freakin' passed it up. A Sedin/Sundin/Sedin power play would be lethal.
