Is it just me, or does it seem like LA got a really good deal?

To me, it sounds like Boston got the better of the deal here. They've already been playing this year without Allison and to pick up both Stumpel and Murray should help them out greatly.

LA will basically get a replacement for Robataille who they lost in the off season.

They are OVERPAYING Allison...

I'm telling you, if this keeps up, hockey is going to go down the road baseball is going, with rumors of the Expos & Marlins just flat out folding, and not even moving...

If you think Allison is being overpaid - you must think LaPointe is REALLY REALLY overpaid

Hell - look at the free agency market we had this year. There was soo much talent to be had, teams were paying out the nose.
