Any news

I just turned on CNN now. Will keep you posted.

Oh, you meant hockey related? I think you should get a nice sleep and start fresh late tomorrow morning.

Posts like this actually make me happy Sweeney is GM (and I’m not happy with him lately). This is some backwards ass thinking.

You have disgraced yourself beyond measure...

 

[Brewin8]

it's about time we win won of these isn't it?

Last one we lost out on was Tavares...and I recall Kovalchuk.. other recent disappointments?

Back from the golf course.

Nice 38-39 77 in cold windy weather.

Is Hall a Bruins yet?

Those scores are entirely out of my realm of understanding.
Lol

Played more this summer than any time in the last 20 year (9 holes about 15 times) and was able to eke out a 42 once. The rest were 46+.

Oh, and I tore my rotator cuff 5 weeks ago.



But I digress!

Hall, Hoffman, Dadanov and a LD and I’ll be ecstatic.

Nope. Not when I read fans who would hardball a stud like Hall because they didn’t get an answer when they want.

At the end of the day, Sweeney is an NHL GM. He’s not an idiot even when he is an idiot in our eyes haha. We all would run the Bruins into the ground in a matter of 24 hours in his position.

Also, this unique year has GM's and agents trying to 'backload' contracts to avoid the escrow of the next three years. 30% off the top the minute you sign is huge but if its 30% of $2,000,000 and then 20% of $4,000,000 and then 10% of $10,000,000 (pure examples as I know the salary incremental limits here) you can see how the negotiations make this one a unique experience.

Yes, something I have been talking about since the new CBA was agreed to. It's the new norm. But so are 2 year contracts.

Donny should be finished turning over his flower beds by 9:30, then he’ll head straight in.

Probably to Winnipeg but this would make it seem that Pietrangelo is close to signing Vegas?

seems like hall has a small market and he’s waiting for Sweeney to bid against himself.

25 teams is a “small market”?

Must beat the Nashville offer by more. It’s that simple.

THE STANLEY CUP

The Iginla one hurt. They win the cup against Chicago with him. And yes that was a TDL thing but it was still rejection lol.

Well him and if Seguin played.

I’m aware he was there btw.

I honestly don't know. Several people have reached out and asked me in DM, some of them I would even tell if I knew. Even @DKH who I tell everything to has reached out via text a lot. But I don't know anymore then I said yesterday, they had another conversation. Was it the agent reaching out looking to see if there was more they could do? I don't know.

I did send TH a message through twitter, but alas, he has not replied.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Hall signs in Boston.

Bruins and predators meet in next Stanley Cup.

Hall scores GWG in game 5. Wins Conn Smythe.

Legendary.

 

[Tbaybruin]

A trade that doesn’t affect Boston in the least bit would be awful?

Well for sure. We can’t trade for either guy if they have just been traded. They would be a great fit for Boston

Schmidt would be decent but Roslovic is just more of what we have already.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

With escrow the players now want the opposite; backloaded which works great for now but hard to move him later. He'd be a Bruin for the rest of his career though if he finds chemistry with the Rocket Richard winner.

Significantly front-loaded contracts are also no longer allowed under the new CBA. The first year in a front-loaded contract can't have a salary more than 25% greater than the subsequent year, and the difference between the highest and lowest paid years can't be more than 40%. Hall's still too young for that kind of deal to be attractive to him in any case.

 

[Dabruins]

Hall gone it looks like to Buffalo... frig off Barb
