After looking at the numbers and the strengths and weaknesses I have come to the conclusion that if the Bruins can not sign Redden or Campbell that they need to put in a strong bid for local boy (Bolton, CT/UMass Lowell) Ron Hainsey. He shows more offensive promise than Kalinin and Orpik by the numbers because the Bruins roster already has plenty of defensemen that can provide Orpik/Kalinin numbers/intangibles. As for Mark Streit, I'm not sure if I am sold on him or not. I do like that if things are not working on defense he can move up to forward. If he were to sign, I hope he isn't the only blueliner coming into Boston.

again, using only last season for your comparisons does not tell half the story. I like what you're doing with this, I just think it's flawed when you compare only last seasons stats. Age, past performance, upside, and leadership should all be questioned when comparing players.
