What a weekend it was for the Boston Bruins, who dealt away Milan Lucic and Dougie Hamilton for a bunch of draft picks.
To an onlooker it looks like the B's are setting up for a rebuild. But Kevin Paul Dupont maintains that they are simply "retooling."
"If you stay on Twitter all day or listen to the fans all day, this is death and destruction," said Dupont. "They still have a handful of very good guys who frankly, some of them are overpaid. I still like Rask, I still like Chara, I still like Bergeron. There's a lot of teams out there that don't have that.
"I don't call it a rebuild because they're still going to end up with five core guys who are here. So it's retooling around those guys."
DJ Bean of WEEI.com says the Bruins already moved their best young piece in Hamilton, why not go into a full rebuild?
"If I'm these guys I'm willing to listen to everyone at this point," said Bean. "I wouldn't have said that before this weekend. But given what they've done and the destruction that they've started, is it only logical to explore the rest of them?"
