Last month the Bruins announced that all of their full-season ticket packages were sold out.
That declaration came just weeks after thousands of people packed the practice rink in Wilmington, Mass., for four days of development camp.
For a team that finished its season in historically awful fashion by blowing a 3-0 lead to Philadelphia in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and a franchise that hasn’t won the Cup in 38 years, the Bruins seem to have sure built up a ton of goodwill heading into 2010-11.

Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, fresh off signing No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin to a three-year, entry-level contract, had this to say about his current roster:
“It’s a roster that I’m very happy about now. There are some spots for young players to earn spots.”

It looks like the inevitable has become the reality.
The Bruins have signed No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin.

No duh!
There is only one Bruins prospect that could top the list of players closest to earning a job as an NHL regular — No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — The cameras, microphones and digital recorders, along with their holders, waited patiently by his locker in the Bruins’ locker room at Ristuccia Arena.
Sure, previous first-round picks Joe Colborne and Jordan Caron, and newly acquired Boston University standout David Warsofsky, also drew a media crowd after the first day of Boston’s development camp. But no one attracted more attention than No. 2 overall draft pick Tyler Seguin.

… for Tyler Seguin’s entry-level contract with the Bruins.
No. 1 overall pick Taylor Hall signed today with Edmonton.

Many of you have asked about the cap hit the Bruins will take once they sign No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin and then keep him in the NHL this season rather than return him to Plymouth of the Ontario Hockey League, where he’d have to go if he doesn’t make the big club as an 18-year-old.
So by my reading of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, here’s a look at what Seguin’s compensation package will be. If anyone knows better or has a correction, please write me and let me know.

BOSTON – If there are any ghosts left over from the “Joe Thornton era,” they should now be finally banished.
The much-maligned master playmaker’s days with the Bruins ended Nov. 30, 2005 with this trade to San Jose, but no one has worn his No. 19 since that day.

First, let’s start with the bit of history that was made when Edmonton selected Taylor Hall at No. 1 at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles and the Bruins picked Tyler Seguin No. 2.
The two players will now forever be linked and compared, but Seguin says that finishing runner-up didn’t leave him disappointed.
“I wasn’t surprised or disappointed. I think I just came in here really with an open mind,” he said after pulling on his Bruins sweater. “I didn’t have any expectations. I think everyone has their own opinion. We’ve seen it all year with whatever scouting service there may be. You know, Edmonton decided to select Hall first overall, and good for him. He deserves it. And I’m happy to be a Bruin.”
