So long, old Yeller

Stephane Yelle has found a home in Boston.

The old warrior had begun to break-down the last few seasons and was no longer the defensive force we all remember. In fact, he was one of the worst players on the PK last year and his offensive ability is pretty much zero.

Still, he remains a rung above the Wayne Primeau's of the world. Yelle is the kind of guy that can skate with a kid on the 3rd or 4th line and help him keep his head above water. He's not going to make much of impact for a team anymore, but he's probably not going to hurt them either.

So long, Yeller. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

PS - what's up with the Bruins collecting former Flames? Donovan, Ference, Kobasew and now Yelle?
