I thought this nightmare was over after the trade fell through during the draft. Apparently not, seeing as tonight the Bruins traded F Peter Kalus and a 4th round pick to the Minnesota Wild for goalie Manny Fernandez. This was not a good trade for the Bruins for multiple reasons. One, Fernandez is wildy inconsistent and an awful presence in the locker room. The last thing that a young B's team needs. Secondly, Fernandez has a contract comparable to Glen Murray. I'm sure glad the Bruins would rather take on a big money goalie than go after high-impact free agents come tomorrow. Personally, I dont think Fernandez is much of an upgrade over Tim Thomas, who I really like. Lastly, with a name like Fernandez, you should be playing baseball, soccer, or even basketball, NOT HOCKEY. There is a reason there is almost no diversity in the NHL. When Peter Kalus becomes a very good player Chiarelli will have one more mark against him.
