Much more about this will be posted after the NHL playoffs and Draft, but I did fine one list:
RFA: Brandon Bochenski, Mike Brown, Stanislav Chistov, Chris Collins, Petteri Nokelainen, Pascal Pelletier, Nathan Saunders, Mark Stuart, Nate Thompson, T.J. Trevelyan -- thought he had another year, Dennis Wideman
UFA: Bobby Allen, Sean Curry, Jeff Hoggan, Glen Metropolit, Jordan Sigalet, Brett Skinner
*Remember: RFA's don't have much choice but to re-sign with Boston. But we need to see who will be tendered an offer from Boston. If they aren't, they become Free Agents and can sign with any team.
If the players name is not above, they they are signed for another year. And I know the following are: Tim Thomas, Patrice Bergeron, Martins Karsums, Byron Bitz, David Krejci,Zach Hamill,Tuukka Rask, Adam McQuaid, Vladimir Sobotka, Matt Hunwick, Matt Hendricks, Wacey Rabbit, Adam Courchaine and other guys in Boston. Again, if their name isn't on the first two lists..
This is the most up-to-date info I have.
Chuck Kobasew has now been re-signed.
Aaron Ward has now been re-signed.

I'd be disappointed to see the Bruins not keep Pelletier and Trevelyan in their system. Pelletier was really exciting to watch this year and made me excited to go to games. He also was not above getting in the mix and sticking up for his teammates. Trevelyan always seemed to be full on hustling and scrapping but had the talent to make something of it.
Well, right now they are listed as RFA's which means restricted free agents. And RFA's don't have much choice other then to be re-signed by the same team. If not, the other team must compensate the Bruins. However, we have seen every single year when the Boston Bruins do not tender an offer to some players. I can't possibly imagine it would be TJ or Pascal.
So, most all on the RFA list should be back. I'm still waiting for that "tendered offers" list...which I'll post as soon as I see it. (or one of us will)
