The majority of the fanbase like Boro actually. But again, a minor, minor move such as this has nothing to do with how many tickets are sold.
You need to fill out the bottom of your roster. You can't just play 5 rookies. If Boro is 6/7, then fine. I'm not thrilled with the signing but I recognize a need for him on the team in some capacity.For a budget team it's absolutely hilarious we pay Boro, Thompson and Burrows a combined 5 million.
Lunacy.
I don't like the moment of the signing... Like why now?
What if Harpur show by the end of the year, that he belong?
What If Chabot Show by the end of the year that he belong?
What If Englund Show by the end of the year that he belong?
On the right side.. What If Jaros show by the end of the year that he belong?
I understand the value he bring, but there was absolutely no rush. Now we are creating an even bigger logjam.
And i havent talk about Phaneuf/Claesson/Oduya..

No one think Boro is a necessity some of us just don't think he is the worst player of All time.
The problem is that you can get better players for cheaper. It's not smart management and if a budget team has any hope of being a threat every year they don't sign these contracts.
Having Karlsson really distorts how **** our management is.
That's what, double the league minimum? A little more? And you're describing the NHL hits leader, a guy who has been the 4th line center on 3 teams that went to the conference finals, and a guy who scored 15 goals last year.
As I said before (and Micklebot too), Boro is eminently tradeable.
He blocks shots and generates hits.
That's enough for some GMs.
Boro being the hits leader isn't anything to be proud of considering how he gets his hits.
Thompson and Burrows are good players but overpaid and you can't expect to be a competitive if you are overpaying your 4th liners.
**** adds up.
