ST PAUL, Minn.Peter Chiarelli is in Minnesota at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft to add a few players to their organizational depth chart, but the Bruins general manager said he wont be doing much in the way of subtracting from the Stanley Cup-winning roster.

The Bruins general manager said hes had discussions with at least 15 opposing general managers over the last two days, and has told each of them the exact same thing: he wont be moving any of their roster players.

While the Philadelphia Flyers are making franchise-changing moves and there has been plenty of other chatter about other big-name players and big contracts moving teams, the Bruins will be standing pat with the team theyve pieced together.

Its a rarity with many more Cup-winning teams going the way of the Chicago Blackhawks and dismantling a roster due to salary cap woes, but that wont be the case with the Black and Gold.

Weve got a pretty good pick in the first round, said Chiarelli. Ive talked to maybe 15 other GMs and Ive told them that were not trading anybody off our roster.

Chiarelli may have some roster announcements in the coming days for some of the players on the bubble, but the Bs core will remain intact for at least one more run next season.
