Remember when Hayes scored the first goal of the season...
And Brett Ritchie.....Remember when Hayes scored the first goal of the season...
Well you know got to keep Foligno and Nosek in there.
Speaking of 1st goal of the season past history. 2013 Chris Kelly scored the 1st goal of the season on a penalty shot, and Marchand as well last season.
Random thought.
Random thought.
The play of Zboril, will go along way to determine who is expendable. As will health and cap space. McAvoy and Lindholm are the two certainties to be there.
If Zboril is playing well,probably going no where. Highly unlikely they will trade Carlo . They just signed Stralman so I do not expect him to,be traded. This is five of your six. This leaves Clifton, Forbort, Reilly and Grzelcyk all on one way contracts, you can not keep all four.
In today's NHL cap space is valuable : Clifton 1mill and a RD. Forbort and Reilly both at 3 mil, Grzelcyk $3,687,500.
Clifton is the cheapest and a RD so that may help him.
The return , may play a role in who of the other three is moved

And Frederic sucked so hard in the preseason, he couldn’t beat him out.

- Talks remain amicable between the Boston Bruins and David Pastrnak on an extension. Still, TSN’s Darren Dreger reported today that the Bruins have yet to make a specific offer to Pastrnak’s camp. It makes sense, all things considered, as Pastrnak has publically said multiple times since he was eligible for an extension that his main focus is on starting the season strong. The team will need to rely on him heavily, of course, with Brad Marchand out of the lineup. Dreger cited Jonathan Huberdeau‘s recent eight-year, $84MM extension as a reasonable comparison.

If Dreger source is correct. Why wouldnt the Bruins have made an offer yet? Its strange .... kind of like Krug contract situation
"We want you... but no offer"
Unless both sides just waiting waiting for the other to pull the trigger 1st (offer/request)

The last time the Bruins started the season against Washington they lost 7-0, this board melted down and then they went on to win the eastern conference.
We also got this glorious event:

I honestly think there is a 0% chance the Bruins haven’t made an official offer to Pastrnak.

seriously what do people think JP Barry and Sweeney are talking about "daily"? Pasta has already said it's in his agent's hands now and that they're working through it for him. If that's the case then clearly they are beyond the question of who his center will be in the future. That's not something his agent would be discussing daily with Sweeney. They are talking numbers and more likely are probably close on the actual total amount and term and are just hammering away at the structure of the deal.

Loved every minute of that and still do. Eller got fed for being a puke.

Thinking the Bruins want closer to Huberdeau while Barry wants closer to MacKinnon. Pasta could get the hockey version of the Aaron Judge payday with his typical season so I think he will wait Sweeney and co out.
Didn't like Marchand not manning up, turtling and not giving him a rematch though especially when he got the jump the first time.

Marchand had no obligation to give him a rematch. Eller buzzed the bench and got fed. He played his stupid game, he won his stupid prize. End of story.
Yup. Maybe there hasn’t been an “official” offer because they’re discussing lockout protection/bonus structure and so on. But the term is 8 years, AAV is on the higher end of 9 to 11m. That’s not a big deal and I’m sure it’s already either agreed upon or being negotiated.
Sweeney has always been tight lipped and things only leak minutes before they become official.
I guess what does "official" mean? Like a full contract that is ready to sign? They may have not gotten to that point while just talking about structure and specifics.

Yep...I agree... but doesnt mean its an offer Pasta and camp like.
Unsettling that they havent come to an agreement before season starts
Bruins management thinking could be...
Even if Pasta is a UFA. The most he probably gets in the open market is 77 million (7 x 11m per)
Bruins offer is at 10m per for 8 years = 80 million total
If Pasta wants more.... I dont see management budging
Which means either Pasta/agent gives up and signs the deal.
Or Bruins trade him at the deadline (if out of playoff contention). Or ride him out for the rest of the season. Even if he walks (which is a disaster either way).... Bruins have ample of cap to work with to sign UFAs
You just can never tell, what is going on in Sweeney/managements thinking. Krug situation is a good example. Previous contracts/extensions usually in favor of the club.
Caps at that point were coming off the banner raising same thing Chicago has to sit through in Denver after our game ends tonight
Nosek should be land on the moon to be sure not to see him again
