Hey....nice move in my opinion. Hopefully he gets healthy lol

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

 

[Gentle Man]

too bad he hurt.

 

[Ghoste]

Kinda pricey but okay. I liked Vatrano for a few years now but kinda surprised his numbers dropped dramatically.

[Pragmatic Panther]

Like the move.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

RFA so likely with him being here next season in mind

 

[RainingRats]

not bad but when is he expected to come back?

 

[flapanthersfan]

Fast and a good shot. Upgrade over Bjugstad. Not a bad flyer to take.

 

[Pay Carl]

his only real tool is his shot, but man its an amazing tool when he can use it

also you could tell his teammates loved him so he's probably a good locker room guy

change of scenery could definitely do him some good

best of luck to him in Fla

 

[RainingRats]

sounds like someone needed an opportunity for more minutes and a change os scenery. that sounds familiar

 

[BB88]

Do you think they try him in the top6 to give him a confidence boost and try to get him going?

 

[Boothinator]

I like this trade

Vatrano Barkov Dadonov
Huberdeau Trocheck Malgin
McCann Bjugstad McGinn

?

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Good luck to Vatrano, I liked the kid but it seemed like he never found his niche in Boston.

Good powerful, pretty accurate wrist shot. other then that he's kind of a meh player.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Riley Smith v2?

 

[MintyFresh88]

What's his current health status? I know he's on IR, but how serious is it?

 

[RainingRats]

Bjugstad is the guy who would most likely lose his spot and he's been bounced around the lineup so yeah. Boughner will probably give him a shot.

When is he expected to be healthy?

Apparently he joined the Bruins last Saturday during their road trip, so might be ready sooner than later.

He missed the start of their road trip, but just recently joined them in Toronto. So close?

 

[RainingRats]

Riley Smith v2?

Smith was a much more proven and a better overall player. I think March is a better v2 - light imo

nice

He's skating and was waiting for the team in TOR...was only on IR I think because of the Holden deal. I really like him. Hustles. Lethal shot. I would put him top 6 and see what happens. Worse case a top 9 guy IMO.
