The Bruins have hired a new GM former Harvard hockey captain Peter Chiarelli. Unfortunately, due to contract issues with Ottawa, Chiarelli can not actually take the Bruins GM job until July 15 after the NHL free agency period starts and after the NHL draft. Since Chiarelli can not talk with the Bruins directly until July 15, here are the top ten ideas for ways that Chiarelli can communicate the decisions he wants to make to the Bruins.

10. Call Vinny in the North End and have him talk to Harry Sinden using coded language like Johnny Sac and Tony Soprano.

9. Send out Myspace Bulletins of his draft selections

8. Carrier Pigeon

7. Hire a sky writer to write out his wishes.

6. Hide cryptic messages of who he wants to sign to the bruins in famous works of art.  ala The Da Vinci Code.

5. Go on OLN and tell the Bruins who he wants to draft. (No one watches OLN so that way no one will find out they have been communicating.)

4.  Put encrypted messages in the new Chili Peppers Album that can only be heard when the music is played backwards.

3.  Chiarelli can give Harry Sinden his personal copy of EA NHL 06 with the Bruins roster configured the way he want it to be.

2.  Smoke Signals

1. Not tell the Bruins about who he wants to sign as a free agent at all because it is not like Jeremy Jacobs would loosen the purse strings to sign anyone anyway.
