Sweet. My guess is he plays against Columbus.

Same here. Maybe debrusk injury is worse than we think

 

[Mainehockey33]

A welcome addition with all these injuries!

 

[ON3M4N]

WOW, I really expected him to sign an ATO and do his ELC in the off-season. I wonder if the DeBrusk injury is a lot more serious then we thought

 

[DrJustice]

This game against Columbus suddenly becomes must-watch TV

As far as the DeBrusk injury, it looked like a concussion to me and those are always tough to tell how long it's going to take to recover. No need to rush him back.

[LouJersey]

What does that mean? He will like play home games?

I figured for sure DeBrusk was a concussion too . But read somewhere he jammed his shoulder on boards .Either way still out.Not sold on burning a year of Donato but Bruins brass seems like it's smart play so I support them cause they get paid to make these tough decisions.

 

[Thrive]

Put me down for next 48 hours a Bruins

You win.

 

[TwineTickler]

Pumped to have him on board. Cannot have enough depth. Now we just got top 6 wing depth. This team is legit and showing its capable without extremely important pieces which tells DS, okay, we are going to do everything we can to insulate this team and ice the best possible team, cause we want the f***ing cup!

Next off season will be interesting for Sweens with 4 big RFAs.

Welcome to Boston Ryan!

 

[Bruinaura]

I bet Bergeron really feels old now lol. Played with his dad his rookie year.

That tweet a bit confusing

i might be in the minority but don't think burning a year is that big of a deal. can't imagine donato putting
up crazy stats next season, so figure he gets qualified or close to that money for 2019-20.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Hell yea!!! Now let’s get Wiley done! Shaping up to be a hell of a restricted free agent class for us after next season.

My bigger concern is protecting him in the expansion draft

I’m guessing that he’ll just do things the way he’s done them when he played for Harvard.

Meaning, if he’s on the road with the Bruins, he’ll miss class but if he’s in town, he’ll attend. Just like if he was playing for Harvard.

(Of course there is more weekday travel with the Bruins, which is a difference),

I'm not concerned about it either. Sweeney is very good in negotiations it seems and his communication with players so I know he will get everything done next offseason and player/team/fans will all be happy with the deals they are inked to.

do we have a list of all the guys we have to protect when that happens? ETA is like summer 2020?
still weird if nhl brings in a team the same year it'll have a lockout.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Excellent gif choice. Excited for this signing and obviously can't wait to see him play, since he's not going to the AHL. Here's to hoping he's our Kreider for the playoffs.

Better to do it than risk him walking.

 

[Gator Mike]

Objectively true.
