"We limited ourselves to teams where Raymond Bourque would have a chance to win the Stanley Cup," Bruins general manager Harry Sinden said.The 39-year-old defenseman is the Bruins' career leader in scoring and games played. Although he had said he would rather finish his career in Boston than go elsewhere to win the Stanley Cup, he changed his mind as it became clear the Bruins would not make the playoffs.
