Dennis Seidenberg is back in Boston and he’s not happy with how his name has been floating around the rumor mill all summer. The 34-year old defenseman will need to have a bounce back season to make up for last season’s performance.

He still believes that the current incarnation of the Black and Gold will be able to get back into playoff contention this season.

“And when you look around the room, the guys that maybe haven’t been seen as leaders have grown into those and that’s spread out throughout the room; you can tell.”
