 BOSTON (AP) - Bruins general manager Mike O'Connell had just finished showing off free agent Brian Leetch on Thursday when team president Harry Sinden inquired prophetically, "Did Mike announce anything else today?"
Three hours later, the Bruins confirmed they had agreed to terms with center Alexei Zhamnov on a three-year deal, continuing the transformation of what had been one of the NHL's most reluctant free agent shoppers.
"I knew the Bruins had an opportunity to be aggressive in the market and they already had some good players to build around," Leetch said. "I'm at the end of my career. I'd like to play as long as I can, but it was important to me to be on a team that's going to be successful."
