But I want him to play for the Maple Leafs..

I don't

 

[leafsnat1on]

LOL

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

don't blame him and doesn't surprise me

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't

Why not? It's a rebuild wh not give him a look?

 

[pigpen65]

Did he officially sign a contract or is it a rumor?

 

[M2Beezy]

Can Benning still give Boston a promising prospect like Subban and a pick for this guy??? He neeeeeeeds him

 

[Brock Radunske]

Oh no...How will the league recover?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

He should have been moved at the deadline.

 

[Stealth JD]

shame the Bruins couldn't get anything for him. Should have traded him last year.

 

[mcpw]

He's no Zac Rinaldo.

 

[Sigh]

Sucks for the P-Bruins I guess.

 

[Paradise*]

Not that I don't think it's true, but the rumor is coming from a rag piece in Russian gossip.

Hopefully he is traded at the draft to a team that will give him a shot at making their roster like NJ.

Bruins didn't give this kid a shot and he earned one with his play in the AHL the last 2 years. Should have moved him.

 

[gwh]

Fantastic prospect development. Does not work in the current world anymore.

Should have given the kid his shot and upped his trade value.

 

[thrillhous]

Agreed, 3 very successful seasons in the AHL and a mere 9 NHL games in that span. Don't blame him and I wish him the best. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the next few years though.

 

[BB88]

Thank you Sweeney for not moving him,

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Come to New Jersey first Koko

 

[Satastic]

That's too bad. I felt like all he needed was a move to a team that needs centers and he'd break out, but that never happened

 

[bearcountry17]

Does this mean the Bruins will still hold his rights if he decides to come back considering he's an upcoming RFA?

 

[Birdperson]

Why didn't the Bruins move him when he was clearly unhappy?

 

[Alklha]

Does this mean the Bruins will still hold his rights if he decides to come back considering he's an upcoming RFA?

As long as they make him a qualifying offer, they will retain his rights until July 2021.

what's not adding up.... he appeared to have dominated the AHL but only got 9 games over 3 years with the Bruins??

don't know enough about the situation to understand why.. is it a case of too good for AHL, not good enough for NHL? I don't see how he got an honest shot in anyway.

no wonder he's leaving.

He is 5'9" and 180, that's why.

His talent is undeniable, and he might be able to transition that talent to the NHL. Not surprising his chances of doing so we're limited in Boston.
