Mark "Stone" Recchi re-signs with Boston

The Boston Bruins have re-signed forward Mark Recchi to a one-year, $1 million contract. The deal also includes a bonus package.

My Take: This is a solid signing for Boston. Recchi was a great leader in the locker room and was a force in front of the net. He will come back to be an effective front-man on the Power Play and may reunite with Chuck Kobasew and Patrice Bergeron, on a line that showed great chemistry. The guy is a warrior who did not miss any game action during the playoffs while suffering from a kidney stone. Now that Recchi has re-signed with Boston, we should think of a new tough guy nick name for him. Mark, "Stone" Recchi anyone?

OK, it's a work in progress.
