I heard they offered Boumeester a long term, big money deal, but he wants to go to Free Agency....rumour is he wants to play in Western Canada, or any "hockey" market at the very least. Florida has resigned to the fact that they are losing him, and will be trading him at some point during the season...hence picking up McCabe to replace his minutes without giving up much if anything.
Haven't been to an NHL game in 2 years....almost impossible in Toronto....BUT this year I'll be seeing the Leafs in TB in March. Going to visit the parents for a couple weeks....hitting the Jays Spring Training and Leafs/Lightning during the trip.
