BOSTON -- Brad Boyes has been dealt to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for defenseman Dennis Wideman.
Boyes had been rumored to be part of a deal, but he said he's still shocked by the transaction.
''At the same time,'' he added, ''I'm excited to go to St. Louis. The Blues have made a lot of moves lately, especially the last couple of days. I'm looking forward to going there and getting another opportunity again."
Bruins assistant captain Patrice Bergeron was stunned and a bit disappointed by the trade.
"He is one of my best friends on the team," said Bergeron. "It's tough to see him go. Obviously I wish him all the best and I hope it's a good thing for him, and for us, too. I really wish him all the best."
Earlier in the day, the Bruins moved defenseman Paul Mara to the New York Rangers in exchange for veteran Aaron Ward.

Joe,
Looks like a good trade in terms of dumping Brad's salary. Wish they could have gotten a better player in the deal, but it frees up at least a million for the off-season and gets them out from underneath a contract of an underperforming player.
