Rough Opening to FA Season

I guess it shouldn't be surprising after Peter's comments on Saturday that the Bruins didnt sign a big free agent yesterday, but I wasnt expecting Chiarelli to walk around with his head up his ass yesterday as his second biggest rival signed the number 2 + 3 best available players, Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. Who did the Bruins get, Shawn Thornton, no relation to Joe, (family or ability). If they had been able to dump the massive salary pit that is Glen Murray, they should have put all their resources into Drury. Todd is a local guy, Trumbull and BU, and is truly a franchise player. He is really a guy to build around, more than Bergeron, Savard, Kessel or even Captain Too-Tall. The Devils, Sabres, Bruins and especially the Islanders were the big losers today, while the Rangers and Flyers probably made the best moves among the east coast teams.
