-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 @L_A_theRiver According to our hockey analyst Yvon Pedneault, Bruins are on the verge of signing G Jose Theodore to a 1-yr contract. Passed phys. Wed #NHL Cap hit will be between 800k and $1.1M. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: ‘No truth’ to reports of Bruins signing Theodore: Update: TSN’s Bob McKenzie was told there’s “no truth” to the Bruins signing Theodore, which agent Don Meehan backed up to Stephen Whyno of the Canadian Press. For a while, it looked like inexperienced netminder Chad Johnson might be Tuukka Rask‘s backup in Boston. While it’s by no means a done deal, TVA Sports reports that the Bruins are closing in on a one-year contract with veteran goalie Jose Theodore. The pact is expected to fall somewhere between $800K and $1 million, according to the report. Theodore, 36, has 648 regular season games under his belt, including a particularly injury-prone and difficult 2013 season with the Florida Panthers. He generated nice numbers as a backup in Florida and Minnesota the previous two seasons, however, so he could very well provide Rask with a nice safety net. (He also has a Hart Trophy on his resume.) It’s unclear what this means for Johnson if this deal does come to fruition. He has a one-way deal worth $600K, so perhaps the Bruins will be comfortable stashing him in the AHL. Then again, Theodore faced some serious injury problems last season, so Johnson might still receive reps at the NHL level this season. Rask’s quietly effective 2013 backup Anton Khudobin signed with the Carolina Hurricanes earlier this summer. http://prohockeytalk...-with-theodore/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good upgrade over whoever they had as their backup. (Johnson?) Rask will need some of the workload taken off of him after a long playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good signing for the bruins. I forgot that they don't have Khubodin anymore. Best deal for both parties on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieCrumbs Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think this is implied as , him reflecting his hate towards the Bruins organization by referring to them as being stupid in terms of them winning the cup in 2011. Not as stupid in a literal sense towards the signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Stoked to see Tootoo in the Bruins' division next year. Hopefully he takes a run at Rask and makes whoever the backup is the starter. Give those scumbags a taste of their own medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
