Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Not sure there would be a market. He ends up miserable everywhere he goes, under performs, then wants a change of scenery because the situation doesn't suit him. Strikes me as the type who should invest in a mirror.
If there is a sucker, I hope the idiot works for one of our rivals.

Decent scrap between Schenn and McNabb

If I were to put two and two together, I'd think the Ullmark Kings transaction might have had to do something with him Perhaps? Pure speculation on my part and I have no backing on this one lol. But agreed a case of... "never my fault but the stars didn't align properly"

I wouldn't be surprised if we see an Ullmark/Dubois deal at the draft/in the summer. I don't think the Bruins gets out of the first round no matter which team they play, and that will prompt a lot of changes in Boston, especially when it comes to acquiring a center.

Well if your hunch is correct I hope they revisit those discussions. If any team deserves to be burdened with an anchor contract it’s them.

I think it was CJ who said PLD's name was brought up when the two teams were discussing a trade. Maybe a case where Boston thinks they can fix him lol

Although, PLD has stepped up lately and seems more engaged (nice play on the goal tonight). If he finishes the season strong and produces in the playoffs, the first 60 games will be forgotten pretty quickly

Speaking of the Kings, Lafferty just owned them with his 3rd goal in 33 games!

 

[shaner8989]

Detroit Washington monster game tomorrow.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Great save by Thompson on Hayes.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Massive save by Thompson on the OT penalty shot

And then Vegas scores like 20 seconds later. Big win for them. Some breathing room in the race

How about that d zone effort from Kyrou. He would’ve been more effective if he just stood still.

To be fair, Krug and Schenn decided to double team Karlsson behind the net for some reason. At least Kyrou pretended to take away the pass option lol

 

[Gabriel426]

People complain about Matthews low assist totals: 58 goals, 34 assists
while never mentioning Hymans: 50 goals, 19 assists

Bc everyone love the number 69

 

[stickty111]

Kings win 3-2. Now a point back of Edmonton all though have played 2 more games.

Few players have truly bled blue and white over the years like Tucker.

The Bruins don’t acquire malcontents, they move them out before said idiots hurt the team……..

I see them going after Lindholm pretty hard.

I didn't know that but makes sense tbh.

I do think Lindholm will be someone they will court, if he make it to free agency

Sadly... the bruins have a good group that can probably be like either get serious or get benched mentality which might be a great place for him to shine IMO.

Wow another spicy prediction. Hope you are right.

I've always been bullish on PLD and his talent, but not sure why the Bruins would want to tie up so much cap space over so many years for a guy who would be going on his fourth team in eight years. He seems to be a problem everywhere he goes with teams looking for ways to get rid of him.

They need a centre pretty badly, and it's not the easiest hole to fill. I agree with those who say they will also pursue Lindholm as a UFA, but for all his faults Dubois' style of play does fit the Bruins approach. Personally, I would stay far away from him, but I have no doubt there are teams who will want him if LA decides to move him.

I agree with this. Lindholm would be the easier and cheaper option, but he'll also be 30 come the middle of next season.

Dubois' size and style may just be the right fit with the Bruins. He certainly could thrive there. But it's a risky gamble to take for a guy with a big-money contract who has a lot of red flags attached to him.

Agreed, but since the Bruins have to trade one of their goalies anyway, bringing back a centre for that asset would be a good deal for a Boston team that doesn't have a lot of salary cap breathing room.

Milan Lucic says hello.

Lucic didn’t have a reputation as a malcontent, but when he did something stupid he was taken off the team, so what point are you trying to make exactly?

I see them going after Lindholm pretty hard.

What’s wrong with Lindholm, not that it matters because last I checked he’s not a Bruin……..
