Proposal: All Bruins Rumours/Proposals 2020 XII

[DKH]

No ,who would be the Bruins goalie if Rask got hurt

Andrew Raycroft

 

[BruinDust]

....he was a healthy scratch in the playoffs after being a “key” deadline add, good teams clearly don’t think he can still play. I wouldn’t scratch a single guy for him come playoff time

I really don't care that it didn't work out in Nashville. Simmonds himself has said he didn't like the concept of changing teams late in the season. I'm not even clamoring to acquire the guy, just saying he's a step above what David Backes was here in 2020.

 

[Flannelman]

STill not sure on this guy; I like ours better anyway

 

[DKH]

Jesus played yesterday. I think it was Tim Thomas in disguise

Got to love the Canes - and always was a huge Brind Amour fan

between watching Miracle and this what a day of hockey memories

How many minutes did Cassidy play Backes in 2020? Talk about damning with giant praise...

IMO you put Simmonds on our team and environment you will see a second wind from him. He’s never really played for a real contender and we need his toughness badly. Can’t have Chara fighting every other night.

 

[Flannelman]

Schaller on waivers, fwiw

 

[Domenic Pazzia]

Schaller got put on waivers.... would he be an upgrade over Nordstrom on the 4th line?

Would be a good depth guy for sure but there’s only so many roster spots

Schaller got put on waivers.... would he be an upgrade over Nordstrom on the 4th line?

Or Lindholm...

 

[sarge88]

I mean if you want to count on prime Simmonds to show up that would be relevant but we are long past that

what has he done in recent years, aka the time frame more reflective of the player he is today?

The answer is Jack shit, with a whopping 0 goals in 14 games. He’s not an upgrade, Heinen can at least keep up when he’s doing nothing. And he actually scored twice.

Maybe. Either way neither guy is going to be the difference between a cup and not, I’m just not looking forward to them getting knocked around without any push back.

I’ve disliked Heinen from almost day 1.....so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but along with being passive, which is par for the course, he’s also been lousy this year.

I believe in the warrior types in the playoffs.

Simmonds may be near the end as a player but there’s no doubt in my mind he’s going to go down swinging and giving it his all.

He’s not going to do what Iggy or Recchi did here but I’ll take him in a similar role.

 

[Gee Wally]

Not a big Bogosian fan. He's big and strong, but slow and not very agile.

Add ‘old’ and that could be me.

yeah well my cats shit was a step above that so not exactly saying a whole lot

he sucks at hockey, that’s all I’m saying

 

[sarge88]

Brutal.
Imagine trading Backes+ 1st for that, and on top of it Simmonds is a bad bad fit for fast team

As opposed to the lightning fast, ultra productive Danton Heinen?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Pass on Schaller. We have enough of what he is.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Add ‘old’ and that could be me.

I would rather they sign you, Wally.

 

[TwineTickler]

Watching the Caps/Pens... whenever I watch Vrana who just used sick speed to score... I hope Lauko can be that.

 

[Over the volcano]

If deals for a RW fall through do you think we’d see Studnicka and Senyshyn audition there before the post season or has Kuhlman’s one goal this year solidified his spot the way his one playoff goal did last year?

 

[Deuce17]

There’s no fights in the playoffs

So you are saying he said he had a hard time fitting in because he came in late in the season. What would be different in this instance?

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Providence plays at 3pm today. I wonder if there will be any interesting scratches?

Guy has wheels

 

[DKH]

Losing the 1 is significant in making a deal with a rebuilding club

I’m very high on Palmeiri, however, without the 1 Boston would have to put an appealing young player in it

 

[Gordoff]

The Devils rumours, and others have gone long enough, as said it’s more like getting it done.
Well now it’s time.

There’s multiple wingers out there, go fix the 5 year issue.




For sure it doesn’t quarantee it’s s panic move, but do you feel the most confident entering the last hour with the same 2nd line hole?
At that point I’d expect more like Simmonds/Dzingel than any of Kreider, Palmieri, Saad

Although I agree with you and would love a (the right) deal today
I've been involved in deals that culminated or came down to the last few minutes because that's everybody's "drop dead" moment. That's when the best deal that I can make coincides with the best deal the other guy would ever make. When the BP and heart rate and sweat production all coincide and the two sides are essentially naked and at their most vulnerable to get it done. It's the sweet spot, the eleventh hour!

 

[Blowfish]

agree. Should be interesting

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

STill not sure on this guy; I like ours better anyway

Neither am I, Not having a first save us I think unless we send DeBrusk one for one
