The Heatley deal was nothing like this. That deal needed to happen for both Heatley and the Thrashers to move on after the accident, and Hossa is no slouch. This one just defies all logic, concidering all that the Bruins let go to be able to sign Thornton to a multi-year contract. This leaves either Zhamnov or Bergeron as their #1 center, and while I like Bergeron, he certainly hasn't gone out of his way to impress anyone this season. I would just hate to be the switchboard operator of a sports talk radio program in Boston this morning.
