Bruins also signed Chris Bourque son of legend Ray Bourque to a two-year deal. Bourque’s contract is two-way for the 2012-13 season worth $550,000 NHL, $200,000 AHL; in the second year of the contract (2013-14) it will be one-way $550,000

Red Wings Nicklas Lidstrom retires. Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the National Hockey League, “Nick Lidstrom’s trademarks were his respect for hockey, his humanity and his commitment to his craft — as well as his devotion to the highest standards of success. For so many seasons, Nick gave the very best to his team, his city and his League; as he moves on to the next stage of his life, we wish the very same for him and his family.”
