| Former Canadiens' forward Michael Ryder has inked a three-year deal with the Bruins worth $12 million, according to TSN.ca. |
Our View: Ryder dipped to 14 goals with Montreal in 2007-08, but he reached 30 in each of his previous two campaigns with the club, and will have a good chance to bounce back with a fresh start in Boston. |

| Rookie forward Blake Wheeler signed a contract to join the Bruins on Tuesday, according to ESPN. Financial terms were not disclosed. |
Our View: Wheeler was the 5th overall selection in 2005 by the Coyotes, but he never came to terms with the club and instead attended the University of Minnesota. Last season he led the Golden Gophers with 15 goals and 20 assists. He will attend developmental camp starting July 8th. |

| Glen Murray was not bought out of his contract by the Bruins but there still remains a 48 hour window where it could be revisited upon the completion of Dennis Wideman's arbitration case, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: Basically, as soon as Wideman's case is finalized, the clock starts ticking for Murray. The team will therefore have a bit of time to decide if they want to bring back Murray and his $4 million plus contract a year after he was limited to just 17 goals and 30 points in 63 injury filled games. |
