No.
But when he has a 4 pt night and scores a goal that was arguably more impressive than Hertl's the other night, I think it's safe to assume it might garner a couple posts.
Boston BROin
Marchand makes u mad
I said it the minute I found out Seguin was traded in July, "What the ****, Chia!?"

And what's the statistical value of the off-ice problems the Bruins were having with Seguin?

and the value of the cap space they freed up by being able to get rid of Pevs? And what will be the value of the 3 other players they got in the trade? the trade was a **** ton more than just Seguin for Ericsson.

Unless Seguin can match Eriksson's two-way play, won't matter. Seguin still free-wheeling, flashy, but undisciplined.

Seguin still hasn't matched Kessel's production. I don't see many people too upset over that deal.

They were thinking about trading him when they prematurely decided to offer him a mega contract they were under no pressure to give him?
BTW I do think they got a good package for him and have no problem at all with the deal. I just find it hysterical that in March people were saying he was better than Ovechkin and now they are saying Spooner will be better than him.

Boyes and Barkov were great. 2 goals for Boyes, a goal and 2 assists for Barkov.
The Pens goalie was horrible. They need to get a better back up.
I got my timeframe mixed up, my bad. I am/was firmly in neither camp of your second paragraph.

There was a rumor that during the draft the Bruins tried to trade for the second pick to draft him.

you mean like when he got outplayed by a 100 year old Jagr during the playoffs and then did nothing for the next 10+ games to earn his spot back?
yikes, Seguin goes 2 and 2 his third game as a Star. It's probably a better situation for him in Dallas. As long as the guys we got from Dallas do well.
Bruins did try to trade for #1 and #2 they would been drafted Barkov at #1. Seguin was centerpiece of those trades but it didn't work out well. Bruins were very high on Barkov. I have very good source on this one.

nevermind Pevs, they are saving almost 2 million alone on the difference between Seguin and Eriksson's salaries.
All the people pining after Seguin are conveniently forgetting that even if we bought out or dumped Pevs for picks we still would be stuck with Seguin's 5.75 million cap hit and would not have been able to sign Iginla.
They traded him at an age where most players are just starting their pro careers. Never liked the deal and still don't. I think you need young elite upside players back when you deal an asset of that caliber.

and Jagr was a rental meant to be a depth player. Seguin was supposed to be one of our top scorers and was practically invisible. And half his points didn't come until the finals. My point was just that nobody can reasonably criticize the decision to drop him to the 3rd line. He earned that demotion.

The real bummer is that they didn't get Chiasson back in the Seguin deal. Kind of reminiscent of the Bruins' failure to get Marleau back in the Thornton deal and then having to watch them tear it up together for years. Eriksson should be a better return for this team than Sturm was and this is also a much better team than the one that traded Thornton but it's still gonna hurt if Seguin turns into an MVP type. But it people want to be mad at anyone, be mad at Seguin for forcing Chia's hand. If Seguin played like he's supposed to in his final 30 games here then they would have never thought of trading him.

4pts for Seguin. Good for him. 79 more games left before his golf season.
Meanwhile, the Bruins will fight again for the Cup. Without him and his meaningless 4pts night. Where was all that in the playoffs? Like the guy but still mad at him that he costed us a2nd Cup with his no-show in the playoffs.
The Bruins survived the departure of regular season star Joe Thornton. They'll do the same with Seguin.
And about these comparison between Loui and Seguin, Loui has very small shoes to fill to help us more in the playoffs. Only 2 goals will do it...
