Looks like Bruins might lose Dafoe. Ouch!

Dafoe ups ante with trade request

BOSTON - After storming out of a meeting with Boston Bruins
management, goalie Byron Dafoe asked the team to trade him if it isn't
interested in meeting his price. Dafoe and his agent, Ron Salcer, met with general manager Harry Sinden and assistant GM Mike O'Connell on
Wednesday in an attempt to end the impasse. Dafoe was asking for $4
million a year but has since lowered his demands; the Bruins have offered a three-year, $9 million contract and have not budged. Dafoe told The Boston Globe that Sinden claimed the team couldn't afford his request. ''To quote Harry, he said, 'If I were to pay you what you were asking for, the Boston Bruins go bankrupt. ... I'm not going to be like these other teams and run my team into the ground,''' Dafoe said. ''At the end, I got up and left. I couldn't take it anymore. For him (Sinden) to be crying poverty and to say I'm going to bankrupt the team with what I'm asking for, I think that's ridiculous.''
