With the official signing of Dennis Wideman today…
from the Bruins Blog at the Boston Globe,
The Bruins are $1,536,666 over the $56.7 million cap ceiling. They do not have to be below $56.7 million until the start of the regular season. They can exercise buyouts (the 48-hour window opens this weekend), trades, or minor-league assignments to dip below the cap. “One of the tools we have is the buyout, and that could be anybody,” said GM Peter Chiarelli. “Another tool is a trade or sending players to the minors.”
more on the Bruins…
update 1:57pm, as Jaci mentioned in the comments, Glen Murray has been placed on waivers…

Well that settles their cap issues for the moment. Thanks Jaci.

So is that it for Murray? I doubt anyone will pick him up, so I guess he goes to the minors next year.
It’d be a pity, he’s still NHL worthy, but just not at his current salary.

adam, a team may pick him up on re-entry waivers and only be responsible for 1/2 his salary. If not, the Bruins will buy him out and he will be a UFA. He won’t be going to the minors.
