If donny does that that would be sad city.

Hannifin seems available .buy low sell high guy.

Trade Rumor Anders Bjork Being Moved For Alex Chiasson

Please no!

 

[DiggityDog]

I would honesty rather keep Bjork and hope he develops than move him for that guy

[Dr Hook]

If true, this reeks of Cam all over. Maybe there's an agreement. Sweeney wants his skilled goal scorer, Cam wants his grinder. I would be okay with it I think, if this would be the opening move in what will be getting a goal scorer.

 

[smack66]

if Bjork goes id be happy with a 3rd

 

[FONZIE]

I can't imagine anyone on this board is OK with this trade if it happens...

In a heartbeat!

 

[NeelyDan]

I'd be indifferent. Neither the departure nor the return does much for me.

Im afraid we have Bingo!

He was the first I thought of when I read it.

the players Im ‘meh’ about.
Its the strategy that makes me think wash, rinse, repeat.....on and on.

I will never understand the meme that Cam Neely only understands the value of gritty players.

Look at who he played with. Look at what he was as a player, himself. And, afterwards, fit all that in with an insatiable desire to sign/trade for a conga line of crippled, fat, ineffective versions of Lyndon Byers.

Madness.

yeah, if indicative of things to come, I'd be far from indifferent....

Conversely, Sweeney seems enamored with small, soft, ineffective college kids.

I mean, at least people see Sweeney attending NCAA games these days, and he does have a scouting background. Has Neely been seen at a non-Bruins game in the past 20 years? But he's supposedly bringing trade targets to the meetings?

It boggles the mind, doesn't it? We might approach some sort of answer in Cam himself- He was big, tough, and highly skilled. While he was one of the best, that type of player was normal in his day. He is his own ideal, and he also probably knows that players like him just are barely around anymore for various reasons. But he has never stopped hoping. That is the only way I can explain it. Who knows the answer, though

Maybe he should sign up for an acount here and write us a long post about his thinking and asnwer some questions. If we keep him busy enough, we can keep him away from the phones.

Except he makes half of what Beleskey did and is a UFA after the season. Not that it makes it okay, but thank God they are not talking about pursuing him as a free agent.

 

[NDiesel]

Would rather they just give Senyshyn an actual shot than get Chiasson. They seem like similar players to me - fast and bigger.

Wouldn't miss Bjork too much though, got a lot of players like him IMO.

You’re more tuned in than I if you know what/who Cam watches.

The issue I have is that people have this idea that Cam chooses guys who can’t play just because they are big, while I assume (maybe wrongly) that they have a team of people who make those decisions, probably with Sweeney getting the last word.

In the end, I’d bet they’ve missed on as many small, speedy, finesse players as they have lumbering, big guys.

I think their real problem is not hitting on enough talent up front over the past 5 years or so. Not big talent. small talent or medium talent....just talent.

 

[LouJersey]

It's hilarious how Cam is responsible for only the bad here.

Dude said our defenseman were two small THREE PLAYOFFS ago, and yet they rolled out the small guys year after year. Who was a smallish defenseman in the NHL? Oh, that's right, our GM.

Neely strikes me more of a guy who wanted to change up this mix long ago.
