Gionta Wants to Play in Boston?

Well, a few days ago I posted my personal idea that the Bruins would trade Tuuka Rask to NJ for Brian Gionta. Well, it may be more than an idea now. According to poster 77rb at the Boston Globe Bruins Board (I don't know how credible this guy is) but he says his friend from NJ spoke with Mr. Danyko and he said that Brian Gionta will not return to camp and is coming to Boston to stay with his family. Reports also say the Devils are VERY high on Tuuka Rask, possibly to replace Brodeur when he retires or contract expires. I will look for more details, but there is a possibility of Rask for Gionta. Stay tuned...

Anonymous said...: Is it really? Gionta will be making more money thatn the Bruins will be able to take on salary wise in a straight up trade fr Rask. Would i like to have him? Yes, but Rask's value will be even higher after a year in the AHL. On the other hand, would i have traded Raycroft for Gionta? Probably.; 11:05 AM
