Im just thinking that's where he's going to enjoy his retirement.In the interview he also said he'd either play for the Bruins or retire.

In the last 5 years they've had 2 first rounders and they used them on Lysell at 21 and Beecher at 30. Last year they used their first three picks on centers and signed Merkulov.
If you want them to have traded for someone to replace Bergeron, who we're still not sure is done, then who and when? I was all for bringing in Roslovic and Bennett when they were available and cheap but other than that, who are we missing that would have been available for picks/prospects and would have played above Bergeron?
There has 100% been a reason to develop and the bruins themselves have acknowledged it by attempting to draft replacements in Frederic and Beecher.They've been stacked at C - no where to develop to or reason to develop for.
Would love to see PLD come in but don't think it's realistic that they sign anyone on big $ and term deals
Names from that list who would replace Bergeron (who we still aren't sure is done)? I gave you Bennett and Roslovic and advocated at the time for them. Who are you thinking now with hindsight?There’s been a long list of potential C’s that have been traded, drafted or signed during the lst few years.
Why have they had so little 1st rounders?
They’ve had to dump cap due to bad contracts
They should have had more than 2 and then you can think of all the C’s that have changed teams.
Somebody will they just won't be as good. (I kid, I kid) It just might not be til 2062 for another Cup win is all.No one can take over for or replace Bergeron.
Yes he may and I hope he decides as quickly as possibleHe may be back for another year
The fact that he didn't say he wasn't returning (especially after a heartbreaking loss) says a lot to me.Yes he may and I hope he decides as quickly as possible
I’m willing to give Monty another shot, a lot of positives outweighing negatives, and he should learn from itIn Don I trust. The monty mistake must go though the guy is a moron.

Which 1st? 2025? that's our next one. We also can't make a crazy offer sheet because we don't have any of our own picks with which to make it.
I agree. If Bergeron is returning, it would be nice to know sooner rather than later.
I’m thinking atleast top6 C’s and there’s no way I can remember them all.
2015, no need to say more about it
2016, Vaakanainen #18th
#19 Josh Norris C
#20 Robert Thomas C
#21 Chytil C
2018, Beecher, #30
#32 Pinto C
2021, Lysell, #21
#23 Wyatt Johnston
Fact is this regime has a very difficult time with drafting offense and right about now it’s coming back to hurt them big time.
Last year I hoped they would have found away to go get Lambert(went at 30)
Some potential matches that have changed teams include:
Reinhart, Bennett, Danault, Horvat, Dach, Schenn, RoR.
So it’s not like there haven’t been options to get ready especially for the moment Krejcis original contract run out.
The difference is Pinto is putting up better numbers in the NHL than beecher is in the AHL. Is Beecher even going make the roster next year?When it comes to the draft - I'll give you the Vaakanainen pick as it left quite a few people scratching their heads. That was also 6 years ago and 6 years away from when they might need a center who could beat out Krejci/Bergeron. Pinto v Beecher at the time was pretty moot as both are centers and ranked to go later. Besides Pinto only just got off the ground and wouldn't have seen any time at C in Boston yet. Would have loved to see you come in and rip the team for taking Lysell in 2021 instead of Johnston at the time (where was he ranked pre-draft anyway).
As for the other matches its almost all imaginationland - No way Buffalo deals Reinhart after getting bent over by Hall and Sweeney, Bennett I agree and did at the time, the Habs weren't dealing Danault to Boston and he wouldn't have played in Bostons top 9 anyway, Dach was a lottery ticket and hardly a plan for anything. Schenn didn't go anywhere.
How dare anyone attempt to defame Ryan Spooner!I'm too exhausted to point out why this is an insane comment. Can anyone handle this for me please? Thanks.
Have you ever advocated for Pinto before - or is just now to take a shot at Beecher your first go at it?The difference is Pinto is putting up better numbers in the NHL than beecher is in the AHL. Is Beecher even going make the roster next year?
Moses could split the opposing defense like the Red SeaHe was. Good puck handler, set up Moses for the goal that one time.
Am I not allowed to compare?Have you ever advocated for Pinto before - or is just now to take a shot at Beecher your first go at it?
Uh yup - just an interesting time and motivation for it.Am I not allowed to compare?
I didn’t even bring up Pinto. I responded to your post where you talked about Pinto.Uh yup - just an interesting time and motivation for it.
