Wheeler hearing done

After last night’s last-ditch effort to avoid arbitration fell through between Blake Wheeler‘s camp and the Bruins, the two sides followed through with their scheduled hearing Tuesday morning. Each side had 90 minutes to present its case, and a decision will come down within 48 hours of the meeting’s conclusion.

“I think it was handled very professionally by both sides,” Matt Keator, Wheeler’s agent, told the Boston Globe following the hearing. “Our interpretation of the marketplace is different from theirs, hence the disagreement. I think both sides handled it well, keeping it professionally. They pointed out Blake’s shortcomings. We pointed out Blake’s strengths. But Blake already knew his shortcomings. He knows what he needs to work on. There were no hurt feelings in what was said. It was not contentious at all.”

Wheeler earned $2.8 million last season, his second with the Bruins.

    Rudy,

    Cam Neely is the prez of the B’s now, not Sinden-besides it’s the Jacobs’ who are cheap.

    Wheeler is another piece of driftwood the Bruins are going to be stuck with.

    Wheeler didn’t perform as well in 09-10 as he did in 08-09, hence no raise. Makes sense to me. Would have been nice to see the contract under $2M though.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
