Since being traded in June 2008, Boychuk has been a solid, if unspectacular, blue-liner. In 172 games with the Bruins, he has 11 goals, 30 assists and a +48 rating. He also contributed to the Bruins' Stanley Cup-winning campaing last year, although he was involved in the incident that resulted in Mason Raymond's vertebrae compression fracture.
The news of Boychuk's re-signing does not appear to have gone over especially well with Bruins fans. At Stanley Cup of Chowder there are mostly cries of disapproval.
