Shanahan Signs With Devils: Carbonneau will be Julien's Right Hand Man in All-Star Game

From NHL.com--
Brendan Shanahan is going home again.

Shanahan, who began his career with New Jersey more than 20 years ago, has agreed in principle to rejoin the Devils, who selected him with the No. 2 pick in the 1987 Entry Draft."

Brendan Shanahan has agreed in principle to join the New Jersey Devils," General Manager Lou Lamoriello said in a statement issued Saturday. "He will begin skating on his own. Brendan will join the team at a date to be determined."

Shanahan has not yet signed a contract, but Lamoriello said that will be worked out, "in the next couple of days."

*We are posting this bulletin as it was thought that the Bruins may have been interested in bringing in Shanahan to fill the hole left after Marco Sturm went out with a season ending knee injury. Now it looks as if the Bruins will have to look inside the organization to fill the hole; atleast for now.

On another note Claude Julien will be joined by Guy Carbonneau on the bench at the All-Star game. What do you know about that, a Bruins and Canadiens coach on the same bench. It's also funny that the game is in Montreal but the Bruins head man will be the ring leader for the East. Ah, the story lines are endless. The two can talk about that Tuesday at the Garden when the Canadiens will face-off with the Bruins, but I doubt it.
