You're not alone, i don't get to see him too often but he always seemed sort of vanilla. I guess he's one of those, not too flashy but reliable on the long run guys. Solid foundation type.

Oh he could have, but people would have rightfully flipped their lids in here if he did.

The Bruins could have, but the Rangers demanded DeBrusk and Sweeney said no.
The ask in a return for a player changes from organization to organization. Tampa was able to afford the ask because they are absolutely loaded at both the NHL level and in their prospect stable.
I can see them rotating Accari Schaller Kuraly Gionta and Wingels the next couple of games just to get everyone acclimated and ready in case of the dreaded end of season injury. Sweeney added some insurance in case/when someone gets hurt so we dont have to rely on unproven rookies.

So no one else on the team til now has grit? Not sure what color of the sky is in your world.

Agree to disagree about needing depth on defense but we gave up a third for him and got a better one in return for Vatrano
All in all I think this was the best deadline the Bruins have had since 2011, not that I think they'll win the cup...then again I didn't think they would then either

Bruin fan since 1975
I would love to see his 20th goal in our uniform sometime around mid june
I do hope for the best from everyone on the team
1 goal though... wont impress me much

Thought this was one our best deadlines in years.
Reinforced the obvious spots to give themselves a better shot at a decent playoff run without getting crazy. Good stuff, great to see.

He's overrated during this deadline, perhaps; he was arguably the best D option this deadline. In general, I don't think he gets enough credit over guys like, say, Shattenkirk. Very consistent player, love McD's game. But I wouldn't sell the farm for him.

Same. I am really excited for the stretch run and playoffs. They've played not so well lately, but we've been spoiled by this crazy three month run

I’m not sure where all the stuff about lack of drive or work ethic with Nash is coming from?
Watched the Trade Show today on NHL Network (Sportsnet?) and Kypreos was discussing Nash and E Staal. Said when they were younger things came easier, but that both guy have changed as players as they have aged through hard work. Said he thinks Nash is a better all around player than he was when he was younger and will be one of the hardest workers on the team.
Let’s see how he works out before talking about bringing him back, but it doesn’t sound like effort will be a problem?

Do you have a link that said that the Rangers demanded Debrusk? If that was all the Rangers wanted and Sweeney didn't do it, he's even more incompetent than I thought.

Would love to see Wingels fly around hammering and pissing Kadri off if we get the Leafs in the first round.

Wasn’t it two or three seasons ago that Nash lost a ton of weight and changed his workouts and had a monster year? Looked pretty motivated to me

You have questions to answer by myself and other posters first

Sorry, but I don't have to answer to you. In fact, I find you to be a waste of my time for the most part.

I don’t have a link, this was word of mouth. DeBrusk wasn’t the only piece. What I was getting at was that the Bruins were not in a position to lose DeBrusk nor are they in the position that Tampa is in prospects wise.

Fine, don’t answer me. You still have the other posters questioning your boorish and silly points that have no base.

So you really have no idea if Debrusk was involved and it was only speculation on your part?
No, you're not alone- I am with Dueling Banjos here. He's a good solid player and any team would probably be glad t have him, but he isn't the player you break a bank for in my opinion. It was one of the HNIC guys I am pretty sure that said on air that the ask was DeBrusk ++++, so to hell with that. McDonagh is good but not worth the reported ask. We did much better getting Nash.
