Trent Whitfield has been released, the others were not since they only have one year remaining on their contracts, and thus will expire themselves.

Toby Peterson will consider your offer.

All other AHL player offers could not be entered due to Rule 5F:

F. Teams wishing to offer contract extensions to players making below $1,500,000 must include a mandatory 30% raise for each season of the new contract. Players making between 1.5-2.5M must receive a 20% raise per season. Players making over 2.5M must receive a 10% raise per season. This adds to the realism of new contracts and is our attempt at allowing teams/players to "avoid arbitration". This rule applies only to players 30 years of age or below.

Awards have been determined in the Langenbrunner, Laich, Kobasew arbitrations.

Jamie Langenbrunner

Boston proposed: 2.6M
Arbitrator comps and proposed: Kunitz and 3.5M

Langenbrunner was second on the Bruins in TOI this year, proving that he plays all three special teams and has a huge role on a team with a lot of talented players. He also served as the captain, showing a leadership role.

Even with all that ice time, Langenbrunner chipped in just 40 points and is getting up in age. I think the full 3.5 is high while the 2.6 is low. Langenbrunner made 2.8M last season, which I think he deserves a slight raise from.

Mike, you can accept/reject Langenbrunner for 2 years at 3M per.
----------------------------------------

Brooks Laich

Boston proposed same salary at 2,066,667
Arbitrator comps and proposed: Franzen and 3M

Laich had 26 points while being a two-way forward who does not really excel in any area of the game except for skating. He has an average CON and 3M is certainly a little high for a player of his caliber. As a role player for the Bruins, and to get him off such a lame salary number, I suggest a slight raise to Laich as well. He has a very high SH number, which, if utilized properly can contribute more than the 13 goals he had last season.

Mike, you can accept/reject Laich for 4 years at 2.3M per.
---------------------------------------

Chuck Kobasew

Boston proposed same salary 2,066,667
Arbitrator comps and proposed: Fisher, Olesz and 2.75M

Kobasew had a solid +12 rating and performed well in his peripheral stats, despite not really putting up any point production. He is about on par with Laich, except for not having an excellent SH or being a great skater.

I think Kobasew at 2.333M should take a little bit of a paycut. He plays a lesser role on a team filled with good players and negates his good defensive stats by turning the puck over and getting hit.

Mike, you can accept/reject Kobasew for 4 years at 2.25M per.

The Boston Bruins accept arbitration ruling for Jamie Langenbrunner and sign him for 2 years at 3M per.

The Boston Bruins accept arbitration ruling for Brooks Laich and sign him for 4 years at 2.3M per.

The Boston Bruins accept arbitration ruling for Chuck Kobasew and sign him for 4 years at 2.25M per.
